LARA IN KOREA!: NORTH KOREAN STYLE VS SOUTH KOREAN STYLE?!

For those who had planned on seeing "The Interview" but unfortunately couldn't... here a North Korean girl singing about her mommy and daddy blowing kisses.

To me, this girl's facial expressions and body movements seem so unnatural and forced. What distinguishes children from adults is that they are spontaneous... I believe that, when young kids have lost their spontaneity way ahead of time due to external influences, it naturally makes observing people feel pitiful and uncomfortable. See for yourself. What do you think?! http://youtu.be/hccmTlNl9jc

The most striking thing is the seemingly consistent disapproval by South Korean viewers, reflected in the comment section of this Youtube video:

"불쌍하다"(So sad; pitiful);

"웃기는한데 마음아프다 불쌍해"(It's funny but I feel hurt, so sad.);

"표정이 뭐야"(What's with the facial expression?!);

"안쓰럽다"(I feel sorry [for her]);

"아인데 표정이 40년대"(She's a kid, but her face looks like that of a 40year old."
"저표정이 부자연스러워서 슬프다" (Expressions are not natural, it's sad.)

On the other hand, many non-South Korean people commented mainly favorable things such as "So cuuuute!"; "Wow, I like her voice and movement" or "Fantastisca".

EDIT: (After reading some more comments) Even though most non-South Korean people loved the performance, a considerable amount of people (regardless of nationality) have shown signs of disapproval. However, they often didn't feel "sad" or "pitiful" like many South Korean people do, rather, they commented: "Act like a toy, she should not have the face like that at her age, this is creepy."; "Ça fait peur, oh my god." or "Just why.... she's a little kid..." Seems the netizens' opinion is very divided on this topic, thinking it's either really "adorable" or really "creepy". I guess such strongly diverging opinions are normal, since moderate opinions have a lower tendency to be expressed. Haha! Although I rarely comment on posts, I do love the comment sections. Always so much drama! :D

I agree with most of the South Korean commentators that this performance feels odd. Many of them are also saying that "if she would have been raised in South Korea, she wouldn't be like this and she would've been able to grow up as a normal kid". Other people commented arguing that she "should come to '우리나라'(Our Country, i.e. South Korea), then she wouldn't have to act like this." Those are all clear statements showing the feeling of distance and disconnection between many South and North Korean people nowadays. This sense of disparity cannot go unnoticed when comparing the tone in which news is broadcast!
