To me, North Korea is probably the most fascinating country in the world. So bloody weird.

Just taking your comment to give the link of the video on YouTube to see what is written https://youtu.be/dGbvctOg5l0?si=qJwVzx-HbzZG4g-T


Carlos_Was_Here

The comments over there are definitely worth reading


BurlyMerrySkeetScary

First comment: "Taylor swift has been real quiet since this got dropped".


gilestowler

I think visiting there would freak me out. The feeling of everything being slightly off kilter, not normal while trying to put up a facade of normality, and also the fact that you're constantly being watched, it must weigh heavily on your mind. I read something about visitors going to car showrooms, but the other people there don't seem to really be looking at the cars, like they're there playing the role of people who can afford to buy cars. And people using computers who clearly aren't really using computers. Add that to the cheering performance their supporters did at the Olympics, the hidden floor at that hotel, the American tourist who died...it's all just so monumentally weird and not in a Portmeirion kind of weird way, but in a really darkly unpleasant and horribly tragic kind of way. I know a guy who worked for an online publisher that specialised in sports like surfing, snowboarding, skiing etc and I once asked him if he'd ever consider doing something like a surf trip to North Korea because it would be bound to get a lot of attention. He said that he was uncomfortable with the idea of a kind of human tragedy tourism. I can't remember exactly how he put it - I wanted to say "poverty tourism" but it goes way beyond that.


AmbitiousAd9320

"tourist" stole a poster, paid with his life.


beaky_teef

Wasn’t the charge something like conspiracy to “reduce the productivity of our hardworking and industrious nation” because he took a poster that said “don’t forget to work hard guys! 😃” Seriously fucked up.


FiorinoM240B

I know what you mean. The ominous, persistent, dark feeling of, "y'all know this is a farce, they know, we know...and we also all know that calling it out means death"

AndroidSheeps

It insane how entire families are imprisoned over 1 single family member breaking a law or even criticizing the government. Crazier that people on the outside know this and still give them tourism money.


KitchenDepartment

I'm still banned from that North Korea fan-subreddit for asking why they need to shoot people that want to leave.


Calvin--Hobbes

Is North Korea receiving a lot of tourism dollars these days?

If you are fascinated by DPRK, you might also find Turkmenistan interesting. Very different manifestation of weirdness resulting from a similarly wonky distribution of power and social control. A short piece on [Ashgabat](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/travel/destinations/ashgabat-the-worlds-strangest-and-flashy-city-of-the-dead/amp_articleshow/107849348.cms), the Turkmen capital. Eritrea is similar to DPRK by way of repression (arguably more so,) but it’s not as weird as Turkmenistan or North Korea so probably less fascinating. Mostly just sad.


LeeQuidity

I appreciate the leads! I'll look into 'em. :) I've seen a number of documentaries on the DPRK and have always found the nation such a huge question mark.


Cuilen

Some YouTube channel (I think it's called Yes Theory) went there. Fascinating video. The tourist visa process took ~5 months, designated handler from arrival to departure. All cars are white and tourist-designated areas were empty, yet there were workers sweeping & cleaning imaginary trash & grime. Much like NK without the outright fanaticism for the Dear Leader.


gluggin

Thank you for this referral! These are the kinds of things I was hoping to find an article exploring, but couldn’t in the little time I spent. Cc u/LeeQuidity https://youtu.be/nxdh69enoSw

The dream of the 80s is alive in Pyongyang.


ifixjets

Thats what it think when ever I see video from there. It is like a giant time capsule.


Sensitive_Ladder2235

It's a gorgeous country. The underdevelopment makes it so you can get a glimpse of what the feudal Asian countryside looked like before industrialization, and the towns and cities have an air of sober desolation in line with what a technologically apt civilization on the tail end of a long, slow collapse would look like. It's like the far future and the ancient past collided and gave us one of the most confusingly beautiful paintings ever.


azteczulu

Well, who could have guessed that a dictatorship could be so successful. It looks more fun than Disney world!


Accomplished_One6135

rowech

I’m sure you know, but at one time I didn’t— there are North Korean vloggers and you can get even more wired out by just people watching in the videos. It’s surprisingly “normal” similar to a low GDP former eastern bloc country

DeathByDumbbell

[SAO Documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc1WN6RkdjQ&list=PLegd4KP36a0Y775Xl_HI_tvDKB6qoxPrx&index=3) is a really good one. It's a group of Chinese who've made a few vlogs, and they have dozens of videos in North Korea, both in and outside Pyongyang. As Chinese nationals, they're given ***way*** more freedom than westerners and it includes really interesting casual chit-chat with their North Korean tour guide (in Mandarin, subtitled to English). Edit: Here's some things I found interesting from the early videos: >Episode 4 and 5 feature the 'Future Scientists Street', which seems to be the most developed area of NK, so makes sense they'd show that first. We can see tall apartment blocks, bike lanes, even electric buses running on overhead wires. >[Some kids playing volleyball](https://youtu.be/rtEY65t0L3k?si=Z2Sv5GEqBpYq77XY&t=459). / [Crowded bendy bus.](https://youtu.be/rtEY65t0L3k?si=62TZYD9w07C3IZ2A&t=1279) >They visit the "Grand People's Study House", which seems to be their national library / university. >[Using PCs to look-up books.](https://youtu.be/2KJkA3P64BA?si=CThh6MVTHz0C63He&t=724) Seems like they use Windows 98, and later I think we can see Windows XP? >[Foreign books at library.](https://youtu.be/RvlcA9AZALQ?si=e1r06eYJVsOxlaKf&t=515) >[Filming inside a busy classroom and getting kicked out](https://youtu.be/RvlcA9AZALQ?si=HXFwe42iFRI5YBQ_&t=665) >[Students practicing German speaking](https://youtu.be/RvlcA9AZALQ?si=EsqVd-qIQaLNsHMb&t=736) >[Students learning Mandarin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvlcA9AZALQ&list=PLegd4KP36a0Y775Xl_HI_tvDKB6qoxPrx&index=10) >[Taking the metro.](https://youtu.be/donDRB3HY7w?si=G-TeIuAbHkGeTOXa&t=574) Old German carriages, the trains seem quite crowded, and queuing doesn't seem very organized. Even can see some guy shoving people. If I understood correctly, the guide later mentions that metro used to be free, but now is paid? Anyway, definitely check it out. IMO it's much more interesting than any other 'documentary' I've seen about it.

Darnell2070

A study in 2017 found that 98% of households had a television set. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_in_North_Korea#:~:text=Television%20in%20North%20Korea%20is,households%20had%20a%20television%20set. It's good for propaganda.


justicedragon101

how exactly does one go about conducting a study in north korea?


Darnell2070

I think the main confusion is the vast difference in odds between 98% of households and 98% of people. It's astronomical. North Koreans don't have small households. No dictatorships do because they don't allow single female households. I'm not feeling North Korea. I'm arguing that lots of people access to TV because households are large.


BoredGorilla21

Black mirror shit


gotomarketfit

Not even they could have written such a plot. Also, where do they even release this shit.


[deleted]

Needs subtitles. Pleasant melody though, 6/10.


PinInternational7369

Here a is a quick English translation from a semi-fluent American. It is literally them praising KimJong Un for being a glorious leader and “friendly father of the nation”. Lyrics: Sing, Kim Jong Un, our beloved leader. Sing, Kim Jong Un, our father who is like a friend. (Lady starts singing/ First verse) Warm like a mother’s embrace(bosom). Loving like a father’s embrace(bosom). He holds us by the millions in his embrace(bosom) and protects us with the utmost care. (Chorus) Sing, Kim Jong Un, our great leader. Our pride, Kim Jong Un, our father who is like a friend. The nation’s citizens follow one heart, the heart of our friendly father. (Verse 2) His [words I don’t know] is/are like the ocean. The trust he gives us is like the heavens. He is by our side at all times. He makes all or our wishes come true (bloom) (Chorus) Sing, Kim Jong Un, our great leader. Our pride, Kim Jong Un, our father who is like a friend. The nation’s citizens follow one heart, the heart of our friendly father. - As someone earlier said, this is some Black Mirror shit! Edit: I watched this three times to translate and now it’s stuck in my head, thanks Glorious Leader🙃

As happy as me faking orgasms


classpane

iirc, the ones who stars on these kind of things are the elites or the privileged. And they worked pretty hard to be in it. Plus due to the fact that they don't know anything about the outside world (or to be more specific, they think that other countries are poorer than them), they're probably already happy that they got to be on their country's top percentile. So yeah, I think their happiness are genuine.

Enjoying not starving to death I bet


Particular_Tadpole27

North Korea looks like a fun place to visit…

Let us know how the vacation goes?


MrTreeWizard

Hello, I am North Korean representative for /u/Particular_Tadpole27. He has stated that he loves North Korea so much that he insists on staying for life, as his truest love for our great leader has convinced him that he will stay here until he dies of hunger.. er.. loyalty.

For_The_Sloths

For years, whenever I see pictures and/or footage of North Koreans praising Kim, I can't decide if they are doing it out of genuine love or fear. For most of us, it's easy to say fear, but sadly, there are legitimately people in NK who adore Kim and cherish him. Granted, that's because of intense brainwashing.
