The 'Justin Bieber to North Korea' meme stems from a 2010 online poll held by the pop star's management to determine which country he should visit on his 'My World Tour.' Internet pranksters, primarily from 4chan and Reddit, coordinated a massive campaign to vote for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Despite North Korea being a highly restrictive nation with no diplomatic ties to the West at the time, the country shot to the top of the leaderboard with over 600,000 votes. While the concert never actually happened, the event became a legendary example of internet sabotage and the power of collective trolling, often used to symbolize the unpredictable and often hilarious nature of open online voting.
