I spent 2 years living and teaching English in South Korea -- it was one of the best decisions of my life! After getting hooked on the delicious food, vibrant life and modern culture of Seoul -- I was really curious to see what life is like North of the border...
So exactly 3 years ago, I took a trip to Pyongyang, North Korea for 3 days (I'm one of the last Americans to step foot on North Korean soil). I made a video there -- one of my first ever -- and it currently has over 17 million views.
But what is life really like in both Koreas? Are they more similar, or different? The answer is a little of both -- so join me in today's video as I compare and contrast North Korea with South Korea.
What are your thoughts? Have you ever been to either North or South Korea? Would love to hear from you in the comments below!

The difference is

The true is so sad !
South Korea: lots of mukbangers
North Korea: one big mukbanger boi
Marcello SDLT LOLOL
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooo
If Kim jong un is dissected in half, entire of Koreans can be fed for 5 days straight
lol you are so genius~
I look great riding that horse. I climbed Mount Paektu with him
Nope, you are dead
@@YALQUZAQ_AZ becarefull Kim Jong un Will Nuke Ur House 😅
Have fun bombing
You died lol
You guys realise that this is a troll account, right?
I lived in South Korea for a year. I loved everything about it.
I dream of visiting one day :)
I live in south korea for 15years and i hate
everything about it
Actually, I’m Korean😂😂😂
I’ve lived in South Korea for 12 years
@@larams7763I am korean american. Let me just say, korea is a much better place to live. I have to deal with racism everyday. It is really bad. Be glad you live in a country where you are the majority. I don't want to move to korea now because of the education system, but when I come of age, I would gladly serve in the army
South Korea: Our film won academy awards this year
North Korea: U guys have film industry?
Do you know that South Korea made a lot of movies about good relationships with North Korea?
Pretty show North Korea makes movies. Just not a lot and majority of them are for propaganda purposes.
@@amazingperson6902 Not now 😢...
Drew : South Koreans are obsessed with internet.
World : Who isn't obsessed with internet right now in quarantine?

@@mina6995 yaa i know😂i try to use less internet by being more productive and making music everyday:-)
Zeiven north korea 🇰🇵 don’t have WiFi
“Whats the diffrence”... almost everything.
South and North Korea are very different.
The only same thing is their gene.
The only thing they have in common is "Korea"
North koreans can't see your comment, that's different
They’re the same culture. Just one is a communist country
I too love South Korea. I lived there for 25 months, April 1998 to May 2000. I was an Army Helicopter mechanic. I love the people, the culture and just the ability to make friends wherever i went. I too look forward to visiting again soon.
Thomas Casalenuovo I’m thinking into moving to South Korea in the future even though I’m still a freshman,I wanna become a veterinarian u think it’s a good idea
South korea in late 90~ early 2000, is totally diffrent country from the south korea now. You will be stunned
Thank you for your service :)
@@teru8383 i did come back on vacation i think in 2005 went to Shilla hotel in chejudo, so beautifu! Are you in Korea?
@@falinecue5579 freshman in highschool? If so id say wait at least until age 20 to make a decison that big. Try Army enlistment in Army if eligible and find out needed jobs there in Korea and request at MEPS. The key is your mature enough to make that decision properly. You cant just move somewhere without a plan.
Drew: North Korea doesn’t have internet
Me: I can’t survive a day in North Korea
Lol true af
Me too i cant because im addictive to online rn because of covid
Foreigners traveling to North Korea are typically granted access to the internet. Granted, it’s very, very slow
One is a Republic and one is “Communist.”
Sadly yes😢
south korea isnt 'communist' wtf
Ronan that’s the point. North Korea claims South Korea is communist and claim they are democracy
Which one is demonstrate?
None of them are either communist or democratic.
South Korea 🇰🇷🇰🇷
1:16 not sea of japan! That is East Sea!
A lot of people call it Sea of Japan sped..
Your a Korean am I right
BANZAIIIIIII
@@nolansolano6719 sea of Japan으로 불리는건 큰 문제가 되지않지만 객관적으로 생각했을때 sea of Japan은 한 나라에 소유권이 주어지는듯한 뉘앙스라서 공평한이름이 아닌것같아. 단지 난 sea of Japan으로 이름이 붙여져도 큰 상관없어.
only koreans say that lol
Kim-Jong-un is now Kim-Jong-oof-
Edit: after a peaceful talk with the North korean Military, I have come to say that our dear leader is still alive and healthy!
Nice he is alive
Guys I have started making Informative videos n other stuff
Pls support n suggest content
He still doesn't pee or poo. THAT can't be healthy!

Damn he would be a great teacher at my school I would listen to him every day his voice is so smooth
Yep so not boring unlike my 70 year old teacher. She looks like godzilla with that hump on her back. She spits when she talks lol
He used to be a teacher in South Korea
As a South Korean subscriber, thank you for making this video. This is so true. we hope both of the countries stop ceasefire and get united sooner than later
Tell your leader that
@@ahmedabdulshakoor298 shut up Kim Jong un
@@ahmedabdulshakoor298 Fix your country
hahaah shudup , shutdown you nuclear powerplants lol 🤣🤣🤣
I really intend to visit Korea one day! Their culture, history and language intrigues me. Also I am a k pop fan
janhavi atre
same
Same 😍😍
I'm addicted to K pop
I was in DPRK too and i saw Kim Jon Un in real life at the 2018 Mass Games opening ceremony, he was like 50 m. away from the tourist section on the stadium. The games were epic. The whole trip was incredible, i wanted to go for years and one of the reasons was your video from the marathon :D I spent 7 nights and the trip was very intense, we saw the DMZ, the Mass Games, Wonsan and Kaesong cities with sleepovers, Mount Kumgang and bunch of other stuff. The trip was around 2000 euros and it's worth every penny! Definitely would go at least one more time some day.
To be honest 'Drew' drew out the travel bug in me.😉
All of Drew's content has inspired me so much to travel amd learn about the culture from around the world. All my work in this quarantine has been made possible due to the motivation Drew brought in my life. Thank you so much Drew. And I wish you stay safe and continue to make amazing videos ahead! Waiting for the last six countries to be done! ❤️ I am legit watching it at 5.36 am in the morning cause I am a big fan❤️
EliteEnglish Thank you so much!
Drew, do u have a video about Israel?
If the answer is yes, share the link
@Rais Mohammed-Sidi as if I care bruh I mentioned cause I was doin that if u wanna make a mark then comment on ur own instead of replying to me.
Nice ..

Thank you for this amazing video about the 2 Koreas. I love Korean Culture!
Fascinating comparison! Talk about Yin/Yang on the same peninsula! I can’t imagine anywhere in the world where there’s a bigger contrast.
Thanks binsky, I'm from south korea and I didn't know you stayed here for a long time! I hope you will able to visit korea again!
Men I love Drew this guy is so inspirational
I'd love to see comparison of Czech Republic and Slovakia. :))
Wow Drew thank you soo much for this video. I'm also a North Korean defector and your videos inspired me to great extent. thanks again I really appreciate your videos.

You must know about korea much better than me since you traveled both sides. Its joyful to watch your videos bro. Take care. Ill follow you until you travel the whole world. 건강 조심해요!
My god, this makes me really want to go to Korea when we‘re allowed to travel again!
First reply after a year
So nice i enjoyed it Whoever is reading this and is going through very difficult times everything will be fine. Dont lose focus keep your eyes on your dreams, vision and goals
Me: South Koreans are glued to their phones 24 hours
My Dad: So it means South Koreans are phone addicts.
Relatable
0:30 Not Just Kpop
*Nostalgia*
3:54 Drew: “North Korea is the only country where I haven’t seen Coca Cola.”
Also Drew: *visits Cuba months ago without a Coca Cola*
You can get Coca Cola in Cuba. Comes from Mexico.
@@Captain_K787 Does it come from Chiapas?
@@IABITVpresents No idea
Cuba had kfc tought
When it comes to food, one Korea has it and the other doesn’t.
Communist country no food haha I have achieved comedy haha
@@Salman-nn9yh yeah, but the sad part is that that’s not a joke.
I love your videos, they are so simple and straight forward
Thanks for making such comparison videos, it is eye-opening to notice two worlds so different from each other living side by side. And how can somebody be so frantically isolated in this 21st century of connectively. Truly said, world is full of surprises....
Wow! I had no idea that you could speak Korean so well! It's super difficult from what I've heard and my own (very limited) experience with the Korean language. I would like to visit the West Sea Islands, Dadohaehaesang national park (off the coast of Yeosu in Joella province), and the Dongdaemun midnight market in Seoul. I hope to stop off there on the way back from Japan when I go there! I'd have to improve my Korean though.
North Korea sounds interesting but dangerous, and I'm not keen on the idea of having a tour guide with me at all times.
If everybody would be like Drew Binsky, this world would be much happier place.
Kim Jong uns People : die from starvations
Kim Jong un : die from eating himself to death 💀
Edit: gee thanks I have never had so many likes
Watch your back
@@ahmedabdulshakoor298 hi
Kim Jong-un lmao I hate you
😂
It is the fake one
Thank You..... Great Educational Video........
Drew, you should do Videos about differences for other countries like the Two Congos.
Your videos are very entertaining and well edited and fun to watch.
Love your vids
6 left~♥ Drew I love this video~ How about talk about korean food like bbq and kimchi next time if you haven't~ Thanks~🙏🇰🇷👍🇺🇸🙏
한국에서 2년동안 사신지 몰랐어요!!!
비디오 재미있어요!!
I didn’t know that you had lived in South Korea for 2 years!!!!thank you for your funny videos and you speak Korean really well!!!
Great video! Could you please make a video comparing Portugal to Spain?
They are both interesting countries. But I prefer the south! Keep up the good work Drew! :)
Why so ?
@@ahmedabdulshakoor298 bcz it is better
@@ahmedabdulshakoor298 that's just my opinion. Everyone has opinions :)
iiiMxhdiGxmes regardless of opinion nobody should say North is better. Just messed up if anyone says that
It's like saying you prefer chocolate over poop.....
A friend of mine has been living in Seoul, SK for a couple of years now. His husband is from there & works as a pediatrician. I hope to go visit them someday. And u know, I think it’s kinda sad that the 2 sides have been separated for so long that the language is changing between them. 🤔
I'd really like an expanded vlog on your trip to the North. Were your minders aware you spoke the language? What did you pick up on that the average non-Korean language speaker wouldn't?
정확하게 아시네 ㅎㅎ 감사합니다. 이 유튜버 짱!!!
Drew's face is so done in 3:17 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
NK: forced to make happy face
SK: To happy to sad
I'm really appreciate your work drew From South Korea
Absolutely. It is really true.
Drew, I have a question. What’s your thoughts on the huge homeless problem in one of the cities you have lived in Manila?
4:12 21 months for alternative services, 18 months for army and navy
Superb comparison
I like December, Please make video describing what the countries you visit are like around that time.
As I am Korean(of course South), absolutely agree with his video. Thanks Drew! He even knows a lot more about North Korea than I do. It’s really crazy and strange how we sometimes forget about North Korea. Hope poor people there could see the world out there and Totally pathetic.....😞😭
Fun Fact: there are some North Korean defectors that want to come back because of deep they are in poverty since South Korea is notoriously known for high living cost that not everyone Can afford. North Korea also has GUARENTEED housing, healthcare and much more to ensure a good life for their citizens. South Korea does non of which, which is why suicide rates are so high in South Korea. Glory to the democratic peoples Republic of Korea! 🇰🇵
Omg I m one of the first 200 viewers am watching it at 5.30 am in the morning man.
You have a new way to keep us entertain.
Good work Jones !!
It's always mysterious these Korea😊 hope Kim will come back strong and give us more surprises 😎

Love the vids bro who else does??
You are one of the few lived in both Koreas. How lucky you are!!!
한국과 북한을 사랑해 주시고 세상에 알려주셔서 감사합니다~
코로나가 끝나면 한국에 돌아가서 다시 행복한 시간 되세요~
Well explained content.
Thank you Drew.
Finally someone who posts travel videos that are not boring. Huge thumbs up man! Keep it up! You are doing a great job! :)
When ever drew puts dprk in his titles he gets tons of views
Yo great vid, I used it for my homework, very well explained :)
You deserve more subscribers cuz you're a true youTuber .
As a Korean American guy, this is so true like lmao xD
1:57 i love how that british soldier just looks so friendly.
Good job , Drew Sir ..
Thnaks drew for sharing this video
Drew you have to do 10$ in Prizren, Kosovo. There is almost everything cheap.
Hi Drew. I have a question. Where do you get your music from because it's amazing! Thanks!
@Drew Binsky I heard that if you visit North Korea, they make you put flowers on the statue of Kim Il-Sung as the first thing in your guided tour. Is that true?
Dracopol false
@@drewbinsky Okay, but more than one group says tour groups have to.

1:19 That is not Sea of Japan. That is EAST SEA.(in Korean 동해)

Kim was my God!
This video described the differences between South Korea and North Korea very well in a short video. I am so happy for you got out there safely!
You mean... you are from North Korea? Is it real??? How did you escape that country???
@@peacekim6661 Yes I am. I am not special. There are 32,000 North Korean defectors in South Korea.
@@escapingparadise1649 yes you are lol everyone is special
You are awesome man.
Hope you'll do this similarities and differences between Ghana and Nigeria when coronavirus and malaria take break for you to visit Ghana.
2:08 It is true that there are a lot of plastic surgeries in South Korea, but that doesn't mean Koreans are doing plastic surgeries a lot. Many customers are from outside of Korea, mostly from China and Southeast Asian countries. I think plastic surgery and "dog meat" problems are too exaggerated in Western countries. South Koreans almost do not eat dog meats too. They only ate it when they were poor and had nothing to eat in 1960s.
Actually the banned it last year in South korea also its only really China that eats dig
2:23 Did they really have to write "Strawberry milk" is red?
milks in blue cartons aren't blueberry flavored, you know just in case.
No it says Seoul Milk in korean the english text below "strawberry" is in pink
Very fascinating. Thank you for this video.
cool video! can u do someday austria vs germany?
Huh. No wonder my phone brand says:
"Made in Korea"
Mine too
Drew what camera do you use when travelling to film your travel films. Be well and safe. PEACE
P.S are you ever going to come to London England
Egypt vs Sudan next!
2:21 for more info on that subject, someone who an adult or older that is older than you, it’s more polite to say something like 안녕하세요 (ah-ng-yung-hah-sae-yo) then 안녕 (ah-ng yung). Also, for 3:40, some words are described as Konglish such as 에어컨.
South Koreans: *Are obsessed of their phones
Philippines: I'm going to end this man's career
Notice that's the thumbnail is wrong
Make some more videos like this
Love from India
Thank you! It was very informative!
Imagine if the 2 Koreas had a student exchange programme between their countries for teenagers. Those exchange students would be in totally different worlds.
Love for south Koreans ❤️ sympathy for the northern neighbors 😣
can't wait to visit!
