North Korea’s official cheer squad is making its presence felt at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
They watched Switzerland’s ice hockey team demolish a unified all-Korea team 8-0, but that didn’t get in the way of their fierce, highly choreographed singing and waving.
These are not like cheerleaders in any other kind of sport. Their songs and chants are bizarre, compared to anything else you’ll hear from a crowd at a sports event. And they’ll go to prison if they put a foot wrong.

The cheer squad arrived on February 7 wearing these stylish red and black outfits, with coordinated luggage.
