South Korea goes full blast on rhetoric

Click HERE
An instance of 'soft power' at work, where culture is used to appeal to and charm one's adversary instead of military weapons; testament to the view that bombs are not always the answer and not necessarily more effective and more powerful....Pop culture represents a kind of lifestyle that can appeal to certain groups of people and invites comparison, causing the hearts and minds of the listeners to be won over....
Role of music can come into place here....not just for identity and relaxing, but as a kind f political weapon.....Interestingly, South Korea is blasting Big Bang's song "Bang Bang Bang" at North Korea! Now, beat that!
