| Summary/Abstract |
North Korea is undergoing a stealthy change in its culture, especially among its young and relatively wealthy citizens. Foreign products are in great demand; foreign clothing styles are seen on the streets; foreign (largely South Korean) songs and videos are extremely popular. More fundamentally, North Korea's communist-Kimist values are being replaced by the values of individualism and capitalism. Despite the regime's active resistance, this culture change, the second in North Korea's modern history, continues to spread and undermine the regime's foundations.
