The cheerleading team that North Korea sent to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang with their performance seems to have overshadowed the one by their own athletes. Probably few will remember the hockey match between Switzerland and North Korea that ended in an 8-0 loss for the Koreans, but the songs of their cheerleaders have already managed to draw public and social media attention:

Personally, seeing the unification flag filled me with pride. President Moon showed himself to be a positive leader by taking the initiative to include North Korea. The sweethearts of Pyeongchang, aka the North Korean cheer squad^^…https://t.co/QtVsq5rnRO

Some people on Twitter even went as far as to suggest they deserve a medal…
North Korean cheer squad should win a medal

… or to be an example for some people…
If your friends don’t support you the way the North Korean cheer squad supports the North Korean Olympic team, they aren’t your friends.

…though some found their manner of supporting the team a little bit creepy:
The North Korean Cheer squad will haunt my nightmares tonight lol
