They performed at the East Pyongyang Grand Theatre as part of a peace-themed cultural exchange aimed at improving relations between North and South Korea. The audience was made up largely of North Korean officials and members of the country’s elite. Throughout the performance, many sat quietly with little to no visible expression, creating an atmosphere that appeared formal, reserved, and cautious. However, as the concert came to an end, the mood began to shift. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, showing their appreciation for Red Velvet’s performance. The event became a rare symbol of cultural exchange between the two Koreas amid decades of political tension and division."

I can still view them using Firefox mobile, I just have to tap past the Open In App nonsense. Not sure if they’re doing a/b test blocking or if it’s system-dependent.
The frontend the other user posted is cool, though. Definitely gonna set that as a redirect.
This hasn’t worked for me in weeks, unfortunately. I’m either absolutely unable to see the post in question (more common when it’s reels), being redirected instantly to the Google Play install page, or can see it very briefly, for like maybe less than two seconds, before being redirected to the same page
That’s annoying, I hate how ubiquitous meta shit is. And discord
You said it. The worst, for me, is that my country’s government posts shit on Instagram. Even Trump was able to spin his mastodon fork or whatever, but we’re stuck with fucking meta
