On February 16, 1954, Marilyn Monroe came to North Korea and performed before 100,000 American soldiers. It was her unforgettable troops entertainment tour after the armistice in the Korean War. The cold was biting, the stage makeshift, yet Monroe's radiant energy filled every corner of the military bases she visited. She said, "I wanted to make her smile, even if just for a moment," capturing the mood that made her performances legendary.
