Karaoke in Korean Culture

In July 2007, the nation of North Korea issued an edict banning, among other similar establishments, karaoke bars from operating in the country. The Ministry of Security officially stated that the ban was enacted to "crush enemy scheming and to squarely confront those who threaten the maintenance of the socialist system."

There have been expressions of dissatisfaction in South Korea with respect to the circulation of Japanese music and songs via karaoke.
