It's a condition of them buying the rights to use the format.
Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a format I guess :-).

That's the other fascination
no matter where they're done, they are identical, every one, everywhere, in every way, the editing, the music, the content, identical, yet it seems to work in even the most disparate of cultures.
I find the whole Got Talent franchise fascinating, it's very nearly religious in it's identity and influence now, and it's worldwide! The Pope should be taking notes!

You're right about the editing and music
But the way the judges and audience react is so much more dignified and less patronising than western versions.

Wait, what? north?
If north korea had a talent show, I bet any contestant who failed to pick a song praising their illustrious leader would be promptly manhandled off the stage and charged with treason :P

They buy the format specifically, it'sa copyright/trademark/Bern convention thing.
Also, fuck you for supporting North Korea.

There are no homeless children in north Korea
all orphans are probably housed in *orphanages* ie state work camps and looked after by the dear leader....
Only vile capitalists would allow children to live on the streets..
