I think you mean Pak mi-kyong, Pak mi hyang was never a member of the group. And no, nobody is executed. Um0987654321 (talk) 19:34, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Bullet Points
I have removed the following information that was inserted as bullet points in the article:
 * April 2013 - a martial arts demonstration
 * 31 December 2012 - New Years celebration
 * October 2012
 * 7 July 2012 - First performance

It's useful but it has to be written properly.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:35, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Can I say that is a terrible image to illustrate the band. I'd rather have nothing.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:50, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Concerts
Hi,

I see that the concerts section is not exhaustive. Will it be acceptable if I gather as much information about the different concerts and then add the concerts that we know of that have been left out.

Additionally, as this is a music band and we can see what they have done through KCTV broadcasts, is it sufficient to source information from videos of concerts/ interviews that are recorded and broadcast by KCTV but available on YouTube? I don't see why not - it is the most reliable place to access information. If we have dated videos I see no problem.

Members selected by Kim Jong Un
Hi, I have concerns about these 4 sources in the introductory paragraph: "... is an all-female music group in North Korea whose original members were selected by the country's supreme leader Kim Jong-un.[2][3][4][5]".

But there are actually two different claims being made here. A) that Kim Jong Un created the band himself, B) that Kim selected the original members. Claim A is made by sources 3 and 4, but they don't provide a source of their own. Claim B is made in the wiki article yet none of the four linked references claim this. I move to delete this sentence from the article unless evidence can be found. Since claim A is not backed by evidence in the articles, I also disagree to editing the sentence to fit what the articles say -- the issue is that none of the four sources can be used for this particular claim.

 * Claim B is made by source 3, but it starts off, "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly put together his own all-girl pop band". It seems to be a rumour. If it was true you would expect North Korean sources to say that. Lots of things that happen in North Korea are ascribed to Kim himself, so I don't think assertions like this hold much weight. I would support removing it.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:47, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

The debut is not Disney.
According to Moranbong Band themselves, the first song they played is not Disney songs. It started out with Arirang. It was on the same date, though. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMk_tsIOAd4 (Check description)
