Some of the video gotten wrong name of the sea near Korea peninsula... it is historically 'East sea' correct and (Sea of Japan secondly) . Japan has invested much to change this name as the way they want globally... and lots of things bought it and showed it now wrong as Sea of Japan... which is totally wrong historically... hope you see it right, know it, and correct your subtitles ...name...your video has been great btw
Very interesting. My Grandad fought there so I went in Sept 2022 for a look around and saw all the things you did. I actually saw a NK farmer through a telescope and learned about the daft flag pole stuff, had my passport checked by military, had a rough wanker down the tunnel (you are right, proper effort getting down there). Good video.
As a military dependent I was born in Japan. As a 26 yr military veteran I spent 6 military years in Korea and 1 yr as a civilian in Korea. I went to all these places and more. South Korea is a beautiful place with VERY NICE PEOPLE! I still have friends there. My family and I have great memories of South Korea and really miss it.❤❤❤❤
What I appreciate most about your videos is you show things like it really is and Julia your emotions are an open book. I could feel your heartache at looking across into North Korea. Thanks for keeping it real and for showing the truth.
For many of us in America, the Korean War was just the backdrop to the TV show MASH, which was in constant reruns as a kid. My great uncle served during the Korean War and fell in love with the country and spoke of it fondly. I’ve also been fortunate to work with a number of Koreans. A beautiful culture and people. I think you wonderfully captured the beauty and friendliness of a people who must live constantly on guard with eyes fixed north. The contrast between the DMZ and Donghae was so interesting to see. It was also interesting to see how touristy some parts of the DMZ are. Would not have guessed that.
Great job covering a complex and existential issue in a travel vlog format. I've lived in South Korea as an English instructor, and also have had the chance to personally visit North Korea. Well done!
Just want to say, I really really am grateful for all you guys uploads and all your hard work. They are very very appreciated. Keep loving each other and thanks you again for all the great work that you are both doing. Hope you keep on going with it. But only do it if its working for you both. Anyhow, just want to say thanks. P.S thanks for being real and honest people. That goes a long way, nowadays. All the best.
I am so glad I discovered your videos recently. This one was especially intelligent and interesting - great introduction to the history of the past 80 years Matt and so sad that 3m died so unnecessarily in the war. Looking forward to your next episode!
Another amazing video from the three of you. It`s strange how the more you learn, the more you find out how little you know. Korea an amazing place...Thank you Xx
@5:25 When dicussing the third tunnel you filmed a sign with the words '통일로'. '통일' means reunification and '로' is road. Just though I'd let you guys know. Great video.
I'm lucky to have done 2 trips to the border now - I went on your trip in July 22 and the 2nd tunnel last month (March 24). Yours is the better trip as you're actually in the DMZ and closer to North Korea itself. Great vlog - many thanks! 🌸 🇰🇵🇰🇷
Thank you, guys, for that fascinating video! Thanks for showing us what you could of the DMZ area. So interesting but sad. Julia, you are too cute! I’m with you on how that all makes one so sad. My family had relatives behind the Iron Curtain of East Germany so I understand the sadness. I’ve often thought about how life would be so much simpler because it is all within our control. I, too, love the wilder coastal areas. Keep the fun coming!
Really interesting to see your visit to the DMZ. I have never been to South Korea, but visited North Korea in November 2018. The DMZ and Kaesong was the first day trip. Our guide interestingly said she found visiting the DMZ from the north side much more relaxed than from Seoul. Kaesong is a beautiful city that feels like the heart beat of the Korean nation. I found the thought of 70+ years of total division heart wrenching. There is so little motor traffic outside of Pyongyang, and when the Covid lockdown came and I had an essential journey through my work, I immediately thought of usual service in the DPRK!
Again an amazing video. Your presentation and insight are wonderful. As someone else stated how little we do not know. Thank you for sharing and taking us with you on your travels. ❤
This is nostalgic and emotional coming from a filipino American 🇺🇸 I was stationed there back in the day and I’m not Korean I feel their pain and sadness
You're right Julia.., power and greed cause all of this misery in the world.. 'When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.'
Thanks to you both for bringing this to us. Thanks for your perspectives also. Yes, it is sad. It reminds me of Pakistan and Bangladesh. It's so important that we see this, even if it is through your eyes and not directly through our own. You are doing us all a great service. 🙏🙏🙏
Really great video, so interesting and well filmed. We didn't know about the tunnels between the two and find it so unbelievably sad that this situation exists. Incidentally, the same thing happened to me with the seagulls in Brighton, I got completely mugged. Many thanks as always and keep safe guys 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
the 2nd most powerful person in North Korea is the Supreme Leader's sister Kim Yo Jong who is his most trusted adviser. FYI...both Yo Jong and Jung Un went to boarding school under assumed names in Switzerland in the late 1990s
I also went during febrero because for a very long time I’ve been obsessed with history, specifically the war between These 2 now nations, it is quite impressive how decisions can affect so much people’s lives, I lived in Japan before and now living in China, I have the opportunity easily going to North Korea which I will, to continue learning about world history, I watched North Korean ridding their bikes, and it breaks my heart they don’t have any idea of what is happening in the outside world.
Julia, you made the right decision not going down into the tunnel. I went down and it felt so claustrophobic. Luckily we had to wear hard hats because I smacked my head on the ceiling a few times... but I wasn't the only one 😅
This is no different than Russia and Ukraine. Two systems, feet apart. This is the history of the world my friend. It is not something unusual. Communist style rulers and "democratic societies" have been living like this forever. And fighting, and will continue to fight.
That’s so cool. It was like that at market in Crete Greece. I wanted three of something - they said - kilos- no just three items - and they gave it to me . The little things in life are so sweet….
OMG. the place you visit first in donghae is hansum beach. The beach is not famous tnat much, and that is my gotoplace when i feel like crying . the second place you went by barrier fence is gobulgae beach. I love tese places because its not bustling and small pretty cozy ones Its amazing how you know these good places I hope you make a lot of lovely memory in korea
I can’t even start to imagine what those people in the north and the south feel, who have family that are separated for all those years. It must be so hurtful not to be able to even communicate.
Thank you for a beautiful video. Harriet and I have been to South Korea and the DMZ . It was a surreal experience for us too. The Fish Market in Donghae-si are amazing. Did you eat any of the shellfish. Russian Tourists are allowed to visit Pyongyang under certain rules. Which you visit if you could ? All the best guys ❤❤ Sending you Hugs🫂 and Kisses💋 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thank you so much for the history. I was 5 when the war ended and they didn't teach about it in school. I learned about it from MASH, lol. I really like Donghae and it's neighboring town, they seem so laid back and comfortable. Such beautiful scenery to enjoy then you just scratch your head and wonder why they can't solve their differences. I guess that's war and if anything I'd like to see it all turn to peace.❤
You’re visiting some interesting places, the wall of china a few weeks ago now the Korean border with it’s history, good to see it now instead of in history documentaries ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Matt and Julia, you are such an amazing couple. Thank you so much for this video about that forbidden area. I am an American (don't hold that against me, I'm not a Trump supporter), and I have been raised to dislike the North Koreans. I don't dislike them, I don't care for their leader, but the people of North Korea need their freedom. I feel bad for them, as many have been separated from family members in South Korea for decades older than me. The thing that I notice is the lack of rubbish seen on the streets of Korea. The Korean people have respect of their neighbourhoods.
Reminds me of Berlin, New Years Eve 1989. Standing on top of the wall that night at Brandenburg Gate. The unknown of what was beyond. Then the surreal moment around 1am people were breaching it (each way, and man we helped a lot of people up from the East side onto/over the wall). But before we left that night, we also hopped down into the East. The guards etc on patrol had all just cleared off. 'This is unexpected and nuts: How far do we dare going?'. Not so far, maybe a 30mins wander about, a few icy-cold hundred metres in/around, with eyes peeled. Wintery desolation. I watched M+Js fascinating vid here and it reminded me of that. And I thought, how might it be if one moment they had an hour when they could just wonder into the North and back, and how shocking might it be...
I'm always tickled by the American food additions that happened to Korean food from the what the soldiers ate. Processed American Cheese food cracks me up in Ramyeon. I would love to go visit. Thanks for the video (as always)
Great video guys! How sad. I didn’t know all the details of the north and South Korea. Still silently at war. Soon once the older generation are no more all ties will be lost. 😟. I don’t think you’re naive Julia!! I’m right there with you!! Xx
You asking if England and Ireland are similar is tantamount to a westerner asking you if Korea and Japan are the same. Ireland’s history like Korea’s, being located close to the larger more powerful countries, Japan and England, with conquest and subjugation being their motivations, are the differences.
I sense a real sadness that you cannot visit North Korea 🇰🇵. I can imagine how frustrating that must be when you literally want to see the entire globe. We live in hope that one day we can trek the globe without these obstacles. Thanks for this content 🙂
I never went on a tour of the DMZ. I just spent 2 one year tours in the DMZ. There were no tours then, we patrolled the DMZ in the winter. Was not fun with 90lbs on your back. Plus knowing if N. Korea attacked they already had artillery set on you, so you may not make it out.
they're not saying that the fish is from Russia... It says the fish is domestic on the sign above the fish. I think he asked you guys if you guys were from Russia since there's direct ships from Russia to Donghae
25:15 did you eat without sauce? (red chil pepper paste) I this this sauce is the key of a bowl of raw fish rice food. next time i hope you cna try to use the sauce even a little
In the beginning of the video you said the 68th parallel... The 68th parallel is in the anartic. ... The 38th parallel is the one in the middle of North and South Korea...
Even though it's under a dictatorship, I got to say there is something peaceful about it. They live a very structured and intense life but so simple. They work extremely hard and keep the city clean No protests or Diversity stealing or breaking into the country. No Trans people causing confusion with their pronoun/bathroom insanity. Always modestly dressed and have respect for one another. They have great pride in their country and work hard in their schools for boys and girls to learn properly. It's almost peaceful, like a hivemind of bee's working toward 1 goal
@@paulanderson7796 True, Turkmenistan is almost the same. Watching documentaries, it looks beautiful, yet the people are impoverished but very generous and helpful. Noone tries to invade or illegally go into the country. Not saying dictatorships are a way to go. However, there should be boundaries on certain things. Mental illness runs rampant among the American populous with "anything goes" its almost lawless with mass stealing, protests, and etc...
Korea was divided instead of Japan after end of WW-II Japanese Pacific war 1945. USSR Soviet union into Korea. and.. U.S army come into Korea at the same time in 1945 for taking geometric possession of the East Asia ideological boundary.
I love crab so much would have pleaded for buying it fresh from steamer and promptly sat down and dug in even without melted butter. When it comes to crab, I am an ugly american. Thanks for the tour my father was stationed in Korea the year before I was born. Never heard about it when was old enough to understand but think it affected him deeply
The 1950 Korean War 朝鮮戰爭 (1955 Vietnam War 越南戰爭) is a war between China and the United States. For more than 2000 years, the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) has been Chinese territorial and local regimes (until 1910). . Official languages and texts are also Chinese languages and Chinese characters漢字(classic Chinese文言文) . 1910. Japanese occupation of the Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮 , Real historical name - Chinese territory before 1910). Japan kills local Chinese officials (some Chinese escape back to other cities in China). The Japanese abolished Chinese characters 漢字 in Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮) . Korean language and characters (invention of the 15th century) of indigenous language began to popularize on the Korea ( Chaoxian 朝鮮 ) . 1945. Japan left the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) after its defeat. The United States did not want China to take back the territory of the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and North vietman . So China and the United States had a war on the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and eventually split. 1950. With the help of the USA. Become an independent country (North & South), dominated by the Korean ethnic (white clothes Ethnic白衣民族). The official language is Korean language and Korean characters, which is only 70 years of korean history. *** In the 15th century "Korean characters"( real history name 諺文 ). Created by local Chinese officials and Chinese scholars. It is used for local indigenous people and slaves (they speak Korean language). In order to facilitate the directing of Koreans to work and serve as soldiers (specifically used to fight Japanese pirates to prevent them from invading Chinese territory). There are a large number of Chinese ancient tombs and unearthed cultural relics in the Korean Peninsula and Japan today(More than 1,000 ancient Chinese tombs unearthed in today North Korea ). These are the things of the ancient Chinese, not the ancestors of Japan and Korea. These ancient Chinese tombs and cultural relics should not be used to fabricate false history and culture. ------------- Anceint japan (before 13th century )= 東瀛 & 扶桑 & 倭國 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record), before 13th century, 1/2 it was China’s regional political power and territory. Today japan = 日本 Anceint korea= 朝鮮 (and 高包麗. 百濟. 新羅. 王氏高麗. 李氏朝鮮) . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) , Before 1910, it was China’s regional political power and territory. Today korea = 韓國(南北) Anceint Nonth Vietnam= 交趾 & 安南 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record), Before 1910, it was China’s regional political power and territory. Today Vietnam = 越南 Anceint Okinawa= 琉球. (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record), Before 1880, it was China’s regional political power and territory Today Okinawa = 沖繩 (The above content is a reference to real history and does not represent my own views.)
You cannot understand the partition of the Korean Peninsula, the Korean War, and subsequent events without a thorough understanding and consideration of the brutal murderous occupation of Korea by the Japanese early in the 20th century and up through their defeat in WW2. It was the equally brutal actions of the American-backed government of Syngman Rhee which precipitated the invasion from the North. Your video is well-intentioned, but superficial and naïve. The people of the Korean peninsula deserve better consideration by the global Internet.
Great video, thank you! And it is called the East Sea, not Sea of Japan, as you’re making the next video. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video!

Some of the video gotten wrong name of the sea near Korea peninsula... it is historically 'East sea' correct and (Sea of Japan secondly) . Japan has invested much to change this name as the way they want globally... and lots of things bought it and showed it now wrong as Sea of Japan... which is totally wrong historically... hope you see it right, know it, and correct your subtitles ...name...your video has been great btw
Very interesting. My Grandad fought there so I went in Sept 2022 for a look around and saw all the things you did. I actually saw a NK farmer through a telescope and learned about the daft flag pole stuff, had my passport checked by military, had a rough wanker down the tunnel (you are right, proper effort getting down there). Good video.
As a military dependent I was born in Japan. As a 26 yr military veteran I spent 6 military years in Korea and 1 yr as a civilian in Korea. I went to all these places and more. South Korea is a beautiful place with VERY NICE PEOPLE! I still have friends there. My family and I have great memories of South Korea and really miss it.❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your grandfather's service.
We won't forget them.
Great job covering a complex and existential issue in a travel vlog format. I've lived in South Korea as an English instructor, and also have had the chance to personally visit North Korea. Well done!
Thank you for posting this, so well done.
I love your perspective on the conflict between the Koreas. It resonates with me so much. ❤
Freedom is not free. Freedom requires eternal perseverance opposing the actions of those who would take it from you and subjugate you.
Fascinating. Also appreciate the calming understated music
Thank you very much for a very informative video, you have really broadened my mind about North and South Korea. Thank you so much.🏴🇬🇧💐

I was in SK this spring. The DMZ was surreal. So many questions.
Thank you , as usual, very nice.
We hope to go there someday. We enjoyed your video
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and have subscribed because you are a delightful couple and I’m enjoying your travels.

I met a lovely lady from Siberia in mum’s home city and thought of you. I told her about your channel. Beautiful people.x you are.

This is nostalgic and emotional coming from a filipino American 🇺🇸 I was stationed there back in the day and I’m not Korean I feel their pain and sadness
I like the way you explain Korea history !!!
Beautifully done video! Thank you! ❤
Nice coverage. So true about the front line.
What an amazing episode. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us to travel more.
So very interesting guys. Thank you

OMG.
the place you visit first in donghae is hansum beach.
The beach is not famous tnat much, and that is my gotoplace when i feel like crying .
the second place you went by barrier fence is gobulgae beach.
I love tese places
because its not bustling and small pretty cozy ones
Its amazing how you know these good places
I hope you make a lot of lovely memory in korea
I can’t even start to imagine what those people in the north and the south feel, who have family that are separated for all those years. It must be so hurtful not to be able to even communicate.
Absolutely heartbreaking. So much division but the same people

Intresting to know about this place
I always learn something from your videos. 👍 Though I've seen the Michael Palin's documentary.
Q: Is Irish and English people same? Same applies here between, South and north Korea. Okay? Okay. ☆〜（ゝ。∂）
You asking if England and Ireland are similar is tantamount to a westerner asking you if Korea and Japan are the same. Ireland’s history like Korea’s, being located close to the larger more powerful countries, Japan and England, with conquest and subjugation being their motivations, are the differences.
@@xxxxxx-tq4mw I was asking about the cultural things not power to MattandJulia to let them know it.
2:24
there's no "sea of japan"
only "east sea"

WoW "AWSOME" post and great to see it on video 10/10 from me.....cheers ~baden~
So there you are , wondering where you guys were the other day as I haven't seen you around for a while
I never went on a tour of the DMZ. I just spent 2 one year tours in the DMZ. There were no tours then, we patrolled the DMZ in the winter. Was not fun with 90lbs on your back. Plus knowing if N. Korea attacked they already had artillery set on you, so you may not make it out.

In the beginning of the video you said the 68th parallel... The 68th parallel is in the anartic. ... The 38th parallel is the one in the middle of North and South Korea...
I hope too travel there this year !! How much money you need to have to bee there?
Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video from North Korea to shows these amazing places in 2024❤❤❤❤
Can you guys do a travel video about Estonia?
lol Matt saying Pipets is so funny
Recently Russia made a deal for North Korean students to be allowed to study in Russia. Perhaps this will be the first step for them to open up.
Even though it's under a dictatorship, I got to say there is something peaceful about it.
They live a very structured and intense life but so simple. They work extremely hard and keep the city clean
No protests or Diversity stealing or breaking into the country. No Trans people causing confusion with their pronoun/bathroom insanity.
Always modestly dressed and have respect for one another. They have great pride in their country and work hard in their schools for boys and girls to learn properly. It's almost peaceful, like a hivemind of bee's working toward 1 goal
I agree with you. though I think DPRK is quite a harsh place to live. Modern Russia is a better medium. And to be far, so is China.
@@paulanderson7796 True, Turkmenistan is almost the same. Watching documentaries, it looks beautiful, yet the people are impoverished but very generous and helpful. Noone tries to invade or illegally go into the country. Not saying dictatorships are a way to go. However, there should be boundaries on certain things. Mental illness runs rampant among the American populous with "anything goes" its almost lawless with mass stealing, protests, and etc...
0:23 never heard that bird before in real life 🦜

I love crab so much would have pleaded for buying it fresh from steamer and promptly sat down and dug in even without melted butter. When it comes to crab, I am an ugly american.

The 1950 Korean War 朝鮮戰爭 (1955 Vietnam War 越南戰爭) is a war between China and the United States.
For more than 2000 years, the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) has been Chinese territorial and local regimes (until 1910). . Official languages and texts are also Chinese languages and Chinese characters漢字(classic Chinese文言文) .
1910. Japanese occupation of the Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮 , Real historical name - Chinese territory before 1910). Japan kills local Chinese officials (some Chinese escape back to other cities in China).
The Japanese abolished Chinese characters 漢字 in Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮) . Korean language and characters (invention of the 15th century) of indigenous language began to popularize on the Korea ( Chaoxian 朝鮮 ) .
1945. Japan left the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) after its defeat. The United States did not want China to take back the territory of the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and North vietman . So China and the United States had a war on the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and eventually split.
1950. With the help of the USA. Become an independent country (North & South), dominated by the Korean ethnic (white clothes Ethnic白衣民族). The official language is Korean language and Korean characters, which is only 70 years of korean history.
*** In the 15th century "Korean characters"( real history name 諺文 ). Created by local Chinese officials and Chinese scholars. It is used for local indigenous people and slaves (they speak Korean language).
In order to facilitate the directing of Koreans to work and serve as soldiers (specifically used to fight Japanese pirates to prevent them from invading Chinese territory).
There are a large number of Chinese ancient tombs and unearthed cultural relics in the Korean Peninsula and Japan today(More than 1,000 ancient Chinese tombs unearthed in today North Korea ). These are the things of the ancient Chinese, not the ancestors of Japan and Korea. These ancient Chinese tombs and cultural relics should not be used to fabricate false history and culture.

You cannot understand the partition of the Korean Peninsula, the Korean War, and subsequent events without a thorough understanding and consideration of the brutal murderous occupation of Korea by the Japanese early in the 20th century and up through their defeat in WW2. It was the equally brutal actions of the American-backed government of Syngman Rhee which precipitated the invasion from the North. Your video is well-intentioned, but superficial and naïve. The people of the Korean peninsula deserve better consideration by the global Internet.
Hello everybody thanks for your vidéo! One day will you travelto DPRK, North korea?
Great video, thank you! And it is called the East Sea, not Sea of Japan, as you’re making the next video. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video!
