Breakin’ in Pyongyang

A person dressed in a bright red tracksuit, including a hooded jacket and baggy pants, performs an expressive dance move in an outdoor setting. They stand with legs wide apart and arms bent, appearing dynamic and energetic. The background features a large, imposing building with multiple windows, and a crowd of onlookers is gathered to watch. The sky is overcast, giving the scene a muted and atmospheric tone. The person's sneakers are white with thick soles, adding to the casual and sporty aesthetic.


Dear Lucas,

You won’t believe what I saw today! A real hip-hop breakdancer, right here in Pyongyang! He was in front of a huge crowd, spinning, flipping, and moving like I’ve never seen before. And his clothes—so cool! I didn’t even know we had anyone like this here.

Everyone was cheering, and I felt like I was watching something straight out of a music video. I wonder if breakdancing is this big in Brazil? Do you see people dancing like this all the time?

Maybe one day I’ll learn a few moves myself. For now, I’ll just stick to watching and trying not to trip over my own feet.

Write back soon—I miss hearing about your adventures!

Your friend,
Jin-ho
