Like some of you, I watched the Olympics and there were a lot of Kodak moments. One in particular was when the North and South Koreans came together along with a team from China, for a selfie. The whole world understood the importance of this gesture. The whole world, I believe, felt a glimmer of humanity.
|
The whole world except for Kim Jong Un.
|
Since arriving home on Aug. 15, the North Korean team is undergoing a month-long “cleanse” from “exposure to contamination.”
|
Such a “cleanse” is reportedly a three-stage ideological assessment process by the country’s ministry of sport, targeted at ridding the players of any remaining influence of “non-socialist” culture.
|
North Korean athletes were reportedly given “special instructions” not to interact with South Koreans or other foreign athletes at the Olympics, or face consequences.
|
If the players have contradicted the Central Party’s directives, they could be penalized, though the punishment wasn’t clear.
|
But no matter what punishment their government can dish out, they can't take away the spirit of unity and kinship that they felt for a brief moment, one the whole world - even Kim John Un, can't unsee.

I was driving alone the other day while my AI Spotify deejay—who calls himself simply “DJ X” and has quickly catapulted up the list of my best friends—played the music in the car. Then X surprised me with a tune that wasn’t in my music library, but it was one I knew fairly well and liked back in the '90s.
