Pak Mi-hyang

[edit]

According to this article, Pak Mi-hyang, the actress from The Schoolgirl's Diary, was also member of the band but executed. --Christian140 (talk) 16:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC) + http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2013/08/17/2013081700840.html[reply]

Now that we know Hyon Song-wol is alive and well, this has to be reassessed.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:36, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean Pak mi-kyong, Pak mi hyang was never a member of the group. And no, nobody is executed. Um0987654321 (talk) 19:34, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bullet Points

[edit]

I have removed the following information that was inserted as bullet points in the article:

  • April 2013 - a martial arts demonstration[1][2]
  • 31 December 2012 - New Years celebration[3]
  • October 2012[2]
  • 7 July 2012 - First performance[4]

It's useful but it has to be written properly.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:35, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can I say that is a terrible image to illustrate the band. I'd rather have nothing.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:50, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Concerts

[edit]

Hi,

I see that the concerts section is not exhaustive. Will it be acceptable if I gather as much information about the different concerts and then add the concerts that we know of that have been left out.

Additionally, as this is a music band and we can see what they have done through KCTV broadcasts, is it sufficient to source information from videos of concerts/ interviews that are recorded and broadcast by KCTV but available on YouTube? I don't see why not - it is the most reliable place to access information. If we have dated videos I see no problem.

Members selected by Kim Jong Un

[edit]

Hi, I have concerns about these 4 sources in the introductory paragraph: "... is an all-female music group in North Korea whose original members were selected by the country's supreme leader Kim Jong-un.[2][3][4][5]".

But there are actually two different claims being made here. A) that Kim Jong Un created the band himself, B) that Kim selected the original members. Claim A is made by sources 3 and 4, but they don't provide a source of their own. Claim B is made in the wiki article yet none of the four linked references claim this. I move to delete this sentence from the article unless evidence can be found. Since claim A is not backed by evidence in the articles, I also disagree to editing the sentence to fit what the articles say -- the issue is that none of the four sources can be used for this particular claim.

46.126.119.53 (talk) 11:18, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Claim B is made by source 3, but it starts off, "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly put together his own all-girl pop band". It seems to be a rumour. If it was true you would expect North Korean sources to say that. Lots of things that happen in North Korea are ascribed to Kim himself, so I don't think assertions like this hold much weight. I would support removing it.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:47, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The debut is not Disney.

[edit]

According to Moranbong Band themselves, the first song they played is not Disney songs. It started out with Arirang. It was on the same date, though. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMk_tsIOAd4 (Check description)
