Kim Ok Ju - Shining Motherland (빛나는 조국) | 4K 50fps

The grand final performance by the great 김옥주, her vocal might radiating throughout Pyongyang. After a brief hiatus, this rendition removes all doubt of her place at the very top - Korea’s most legendary singer of the 2020s. (So far..) 빛나는 조국 is seen somewhat as the DPRK’s second national anthem, even replacing it at times, though the lyrics are rarely sang aloud. Every KCTV Broadcast concludes with this song, making it the perfect bookend to the 75th Anniversary Concert. (Can we just pretend that the concert ended here instead of with another seminal rendition of ’Our National Flag’? The Discord Server is awash with ’Anti-우리의 국기’ memes at present). As it is such an important performance, I’ve once again edited it to 4K/50fps. The render time was grueling lol
