An 11-year-old North Korean girl built a YouTube following by talking about 'Harry Potter', water parks

In Song A's videos, she goes swimming and rock climbing, snacks on fruit-flavored shaved ice with her best friend, and receives dancing lessons from her aunt — all while providing commentary in English.

Song A has posted 12 videos over the last nine months, and attracted a following of 21,000 subscribers in the process. North Korean YouTube channels like hers might be part of a push by Kim Jong Un to get more"creative" with propaganda techniques, Ha Seung-hee, a research professor of North Korea studies at Dongguk University, told CNN.
