After each wave, 4-5 [North] Koreans arrive on buggies, "line up" chopped carcasses [bodies] in a line, as in the video, and mask the faces of the deceased.
When U.S. troops were stationed on the Korean Peninsula at the outbreak of the Korean War, so prevalent was the use of the word gook during the first few months of the war that U.S. General Douglas MacArthur banned its use, for fear that Asians would become alienated to the United Nations Command because of the insult. In spite of MacArthur’s early prohibition, the term was nonetheless used by U.S. troops during the conflict, and U.S. postwar occupation troops in South Korea continued to call the Koreans "gooks".

A derogatory term used in reference to people of Asian descent.
It is said to have been coined during the Korean war by frontline troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps.
The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse.
Damn, look at all the zipperheads here, it's like they've just taken over.
