Hey i really like how you say at the beginning you were not paid by any company...yet you have ads running so technically speaking you were paid by youtube right? lol
It's almost like time travelling, it feels like watching a video from the 70's, the colours, the way people are dressed, the vehicles, the buildings... It's unreal.
Aaron Rawago Please everyone watching this video series be aware... it simply is an interesting but ludicrous display of total lack of awareness... never even crosses his mind the ridiculous stories he was told are simply not true ugh. Beyond naive to truly believe he was allowed to show/see just anything he wanted lol. Everyone must be smarter then simply presenting progaganda with no mention, or understanding, of actual reality.

Maybe the reason you felt "Invisible" to the residents: They have been told "Do not interact with the foreigners" unless absolutely necessary. The tour guide is the one who interacts with them for the most part. In some scenarios workers would interact with them but only in a professional manner. I believe they have be warned to just ignore the foreigners & go about their day as usual. Remember that what we see here is the TOURIST part of North Korea, Its all a bit of a show, An open air zoo for foreigners, You don't get to see the real North Korea.
it’s so sad that if one person breaks the law, their immediate family are also imprisoned. they have schools inside the jails for their children who are forced the be raised inside as well. prayers from canada. i hope to see freedom in this country
@@InfernalLeo777The world risks nuclear warfare, which could lead to our extinction. If we didn't have nuclear weapons, North Korea most likely wouldn't be the way it is today.
@Ishaki Kenobi I'm genuinely curious how they feel about it, it's weird and the other countries to ask them wtf Is up w them running a country that is literally some medieval shit
Keep in mind this is literally the BEST part of North Korea. If this is the best of the best in North Korea I can only imagine what the rest of the country is like.
This 14 min video felt like 2 seconds, loved it. First thing I noticed was how sad everyone looked, don’t think I spotted one person smiling. Keen to watch the rest!
@ Phung Tran That's not true. They're well aware. Those defectors saying that their countrymen are smiling a lot more are honest and not talking about manipulated propaganda material. Bottomline is: Just because you have freedom it doesn't mean you're happier. In South Korea apparently the people seem colder, smile less. Which is very understandable if you think about how in 1st world countries we're constantly under stress, and often lost sight of what really makes us happy
As a South Korean, I've finished my military service and always wondered how it'd look like in North Korea. I used to regard all North Korean as an 'enemy', but now that I think, there is only one enemy up there
@@beardedlonewolf7695 What about South Africa? You act like civilians in Europe and North America are all angels. You sound like a Boer who is just sour that apartheid is over.
For the curious, the market isnt an actual market. You'll notice there's dust on the bottles and the reason that the shop was locked is because it always is. They have those in view of tourrists to make it seem like the country isnt short on food. The reality is nothing is every sold from there and noone is ever allowed in there.
Sabina Wurmbrand said something slightly similar happened in Communist Romania, but really almost worse: she said that shortages were really bad, but when the country opened up for tourists, suddenly the stores were stocked with goods that they hadn't seen in years. Then, when the borders were closed, the shortages were worse than ever.
If you want to know what North Korea really like - read Every Falling Star. It’s written by a man who grew up in the 90s in North Korea yet escaped in the early 2000’s…his story is unimaginable.
Just remember that the 90s was one of the worst time periods to be in North Korea. The collapse of the USSR was devastating for the economic conditions in the DPRK.
Kim Jong-un is fat while his people starve. That’s all I need to know. He is a monster and there is no life in Korea. North Korea is only survival. Any country that does not allow its citizens to leave is nothing more than a prison state. I’ve heard recent accounts of families committing suicide because life is so disgustingly awful and if one person were to commit suicide, their family would be punished anyway so now entire families are just taking themselves out. I’m so grateful that I was not born there.
I remember seeing a couple of defectors being interviewed. They'd escaped the country, but not the trauma. One guy talked about how he and his family always thought war with America was coming, but instead of being scared of war coming, they prayed every day that it would come soon and kill them all so their nightmare would end. They looked so utterly drained and without hope. It was heartbreaking.
Yep videos are only played of leaders. Everyday in your first days of schooling. Taught to hate a country. But said country doesn't care because North Korea has nothing in its land America wants. If the country of North Korea was full of rare materials you bet you ass. North Korea would have needed it regime 20 years ago.
@@pgxk5 Praying is asking God to intervene. Sometimes prayer is the only thing we can do, and God is able to do above all that we ask or think. He is even able to send an answer before we ask. I am sorry for you, for you have no hope, either for this life or the next. That can change, if you're willing to do some honest research.
Hi, I'm an ordinary college student born in Korea. I watched your video very well. Since I'm Korean, I haven't even been to North Korea myself, and I'm only learning about North Korea through these videos and school lessons. North Korea and South Korea are very close but far away. So your video about North Korea is so amazing and new. Thank you so much for shooting this video about North Korea. It's definitely the same ethnicity, they speak the same language, and have the same culture, but I can't meet them, I can't talk to them, and I think it's so sad that so much is gradually changing. I hope this problem can be solved soon before there are any more changes... Even if it doesn't work out, I definitely want to go to North Korea someday. 😊
Since you are South Korean and the North Korean government claims authority over the whole Korean peninsula, are you gonna be allowed to leave if you ever visited North Korea? I mean, wouldn’t the North Korean government consider you their citizen and apply all their restrictions to you, once you cross the border?
Dont forget this person cant say any negative things about north korea because everyone who goes there has to sign a contract that they can sue him if he talks negatively about north korea so your not actually getting his oppinion
But when he comes back to America, he can still talk negative about North Korea? I assume if he did that, it's best for him to not come back if they see something like that.
@Hi, I'm Barbara Just a bit of correct info from someone who's from Russia: you prolly won't get arrested for complaining about your country. Criticizing the Russian Government is pretty much a national hobby. You shouldn't do it as a foreigner, but that's just a common sense thing, Americans wouldn't like tourists shitting on US either. You might get arrested if you are actually agitating people. Like if you'd start a protest against the government or something. Serious anti-regime propaganda will for sure get you in trouble, but the police could care less about what people are casually talking about. Simply said, making a dumb joke about Putin won't get you arrested, even if it's on the internet and has millions of views. Oh, you should actually check out all the memes we make about Putin, they are quite funny :)
He's not fucking brave, he's an arrogant asshole who wants to make money off of suffering people....This video is to fill his need for more followers.....
Actually, friend told me if you stay with the tour guide ALL the time and follow ALL THE RULES you are told and break NONE of them which isn't hard to do, then it's a really safe place to visit as a tourist (as weird and odd as that sounds)
The fact that you, a tourist, had a fairly positive experience, great food, etc. just adds to how sick this place is, giving a good show to the outside while starving and terrorizing their own people.
It's really weird cuz I live in South Korea, which is geologically the closest country to North Korea, but the only way I can see the normal streets and people of NK is through TH-cam videos. If we look up our genogram and track it up for just a few generations, almost every South Koreans would find their relatives in NK. It feels strange that my far, far away cousins are living in NK with a border in between. It's a sad tragedy..

The bank of international settlements is the central bank of central banks. Located in switzerland which was founded by the knights templar. along with cern, fifa, templars priory of sion, etc also being there. the list just keeps going. The bible said the beast would have 7 heads and 10 horns. The swiss government has 7 heads and 10 districts. Kim Jung un and ghadaffi both went to school in Switzerland and speak swiss german. Not many know this. Their banks have been caught parasiting billions through fraud and working with criminals to have money offshores. Thats just one time. Imagine the trillions they have taken from the american people working hard everyday. Thats why Americans are all circumcised. We are the pharoahs slaves. In Egypt it was slaves who got circumcised.. Obelisks, hieroglyphs, pharoah murals, masonry symbols, etc all over switzerland. Every single President ever is linked to swiss royalty and this includes trump, obama, and hillary. Every government ever has swiss people running it. Every army ever has swiss generals. There is literally terms and quotes from swiss people how they bring Switzerland with them and dont integrate. Huge chunk of swiss are spread all over the world this is known as "swiss diaspora creating 5th Switzerland" aka 5th column sleepr agents all over. They take the police, military, and political roles then grab us by the balls. If you look at the swiss belt where all the swiss went in the united states tons of cities named zurich, berne, etc all identical to Switzerland. They are the top of the pyramid. Who would suspect "clean neutral Switzerland"
"Neutral" Switzerland established in 1291, home of the Knights Templar Egyptian pharaonic bloodline and their stolen cache of Jerusalem gold, bankrolled artist and forceful charismatic German orator and propagandist Adolph Hitler, to undertake the biggest heist of financial, physical and human capital ever seen, 1939-1945. The Bank for International Settlements was established in the early 1920s with a stated purpose of facilitating German WW1 reparations. Nothing was further from the truth. The Swiss Pharaohs using the BIS started to raid European countries for their wealth. In the late 1930s an enormous storehouse of oil was found in Saudi Arabia. The House of Windsor (UK monarchy, formerly 'Mountbatten', formerly 'Battenberg' Germans) quickly embraced Saudi Arabia as its vassal and the Swiss pharaohs of "neutral" Switzerland set up a shipping fleet (purportedly "aid" ships) that transported Saudi Arabian oil to Germany. A war would soon begin. The finance and the energy source had been found to protract a war between Pharaohs, by and on behalf of Pharaohs, for a half decade. The Swiss Pharaohs of the European and British elite families would begin their extermination of the common people, their slaves. Thus began World War II.
North Korea feels like a weird dream which sort of feels like a nightmare but it also isn't dead scary to be an actual nightmare but you also know that something is wrong. It's really an eerie unexplainable feeling.
This makes me appreciate living in the U.S. much more, even though the rich part of North Korea and what he has showed so far doesn't seem too bad, we haven't experienced the poor parts yet, which I couldn't even imagine what those areas are like. It's crazy how many of us here around the world break so many laws that they have over in North Korea every single day. One of these tours could be fascinating but I wouldn't trust my luck, who knows what would happen to me or any other tourist there if someone from the government was having a really bad day.
If I was a foreigner in North Korea, I’d feel like I’m constantly walking on eggshells. I feel like doing simple things as breathing would get me in trouble, damn.
@Denise Mohr it was a poster. A POSTER. not your suitcase with valuable goods. so you think because this guy stole a poster that a 15 years sentence of hard labor is justified? please revaluate what you're trying to say, i beg you. it's absolute madness.
I don’t think he did it. The “evidence” they had was some grainy footage from the 2nd floor (a floor for employees only) taking a poster off the wall and setting it down into the floor. So he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for taking a poster off the wall and setting it on the floor. I think he was framed myself.
Coffee Lover there is more footage of his actual face, he did do it, I saw it myself. I don’t think he should’ve been sentenced to 15 years, however he should understand the consequences that come along with going to North Korea. 🇰🇵
I would never be willing to take the risk to go there. It’s not worth it to get imprisoned there for making a small mistake, especially when you’re not really seeing what it’s actually like anyway.
Also remember that living in the capital is a privilege its self. It's meant to be the show piece for the rest of the world. So for the people saying "oh, it's so clean" there's your answer.
@@abdulbari-_- Lmao seriously ? So it's probably just a coincidence that there are guides with them at all times, verifying where they go ? The whole experience is so obviously staged

This was a next level travel vlog. Very interesting details you shared about not being able to fold the newspaper a certain way, or take a picture that cuts off the leader with the framing. Look forward to Ep #2
Internet rumor said that Otto Warmbier had been arrested, not for stealing a sign (an obvious fake video), but because he had wrapped his shoes in a newspaper with the leader's photo when packing to leave. These little details and rules which seem ridiculous to people in pretty much any other country, can mean the difference between life and death in NK.
This is not next level. This is just a vlog how a normal vlog should look like. There are a lot more documentaries about north korea on YT. Look for it, they give you much more information!!
Yes there were some interesting tidbits, but it was frustrating to hear the blogger declare that something was interesting, or not at all what he expected, without giving any explantation as to Why, or even what so piqued his interest. As for the fully stocked, but unoccupied markets, did you consider the possibility that they were simply staged props for tourists designed to suggest that North Korea was a land of plenty?
Pyonyang is what they want you to see. Very few people of North Korea live on the capital, the rest live on the countryside... and they don't want u to look at that.
Blue Typhoon2017 my English is garbage but some how yours is worse... anyways, please fix your spelling :) also, there are plenty of country out there that have a worse country side than dprk.
North Korean has definitely recovered from the food scarcity in 90s, which is 20+ years ago, as for electricity, well in the rural area they are still having it but you may just see much more frequent outages.
That's why I'd never go there. I mean it would be such an experience, but I assume there's always a chance u accidentally do the tiniest thing wrong and end up in a fucking concentration camp for the next 20 years.
My great grandmother was from the North Korean side of the country before the division of North and South Korea. It's surreal to think that she once had a home there (even though I never got the opportunity to ask what is was like while she lived there). Meanwhile my grandma is surely glad that she got to grow up in South Korea instead.
@@LeilaLovesLattesWell, you wouldn't have been born the way you are now obviously with a different set of partners, obviously. Also, I don't know why you need to say honestly here. It's so often that several people excessively use the word, 'honestly', or say, 'tbh'. It's as if they're compulsive liars, and they're feeling compelled to point out that they're in fact not lying this time around. You also did it with some broken grammar, "honestly". Lol
Everything about it feels so sinister when you know what the people who live there go through and how many people get shot trying to leave. So sad. I can’t imagine the feeling of being there.
Major credit to you. I'd love to go everywhere in the world but this is one of a few countries that I'd never step foot in. Thanks for bringing this country to us in such a great documentary.
The way the pedestrians avoid you and the camera is eerie after coming from the Sudan video where curious crowds would gather around for anything mundane.
And three channels available in north korea. Channel No 1. Kim jong un is the greatest Channel No 2. Kim jong un is the greatest Channel No 3. Kim jong un is the greatest
It’s abit like US MSM. CNN -Trump is racist. MSNBC- Trump is racist ABC-Trump is racist Neither claims by the news outlets are actually true but both are shoved down mindless brainwashed idiots throats. Food for thought.
Hello Indigo Traveller! As a person coming from a former communist country (the soviet union), I feel an obligation to tell something about the basics of communist propaganda systems taught to ordinary citizens in case of meeting a tourist. 1. tourists in the USSR were not under any circumstances allowed to move around without their guides. 2. As a citizen, we were taught to never make eye contact with foreigners (eye contact or any form of interaction would be considered "conversing" with the enemy of the "mighty" socialist people: as a result, you would be labeled as an enemy of the people (state)) 3. Tourists were only shown the wealthiest areas of the largest cities in the union. 4. Common citizens didn't have access to stores (supermarkets) to the degree of western countries. We would be standing in lines in central Moscow for several hours just to get a loaf of bread per person. Yes, you couldn't just buy as much bread as you wanted (assuming you had the money), because everything was rationed. Big stores with lots of different products were only made for show to tourists, exactly in the manner as shown in your video in Pyongyang. 5. hotels were extremely rare, and almost inaccessible to ordinary citizens. Only tourists and foreigners could stay the night in a hotel. 6. Disabled, old and poor citizens would be removed from the cities and put into camps away from the public eye, so that they wouldn't spoil the view of the city. 7. Goal number one of the USSR regarding tourism, was to put up a show impressing foreigners, making the impression that everything is amazing and people are happy and well fed, looking busy doing their duty for the motherland. 8. People in the USSR were not allowed to leave their city or village of origin without special permission from the areal political commissar. Most citizens lived their whole lives and died on the same spot during those 70+ years the USSR existed. I can not say if this is the same case as it was when I grew up, but it sure looks a lot like it! So much that I almost felt at home! And that feeling isn't a nostalgic one, but more like a nightmare you try to forget.
@@liontarina8932 Καλημέρα! No, fortunately it is not like that in Russia anymore. Everyone can visit and travel freely. The strict circumstances applied only during communism.
Watching this after listening to Yeonmi Park on Joe Rogan’s podcast, you realize that this is just all show. You really can see just how fake it all is, they want foreigners to leave with a feeling like “see it’s not so bad here” but when you hear an actual North Korean’s account of what it’s really like to live there, the facade just fades away. You can even tell the natives didn’t want to make eye contact with the cameras. Ugh the oppression is sickening. I hope Rogan’s podcast episode with Yeonmi really opens more and more eyes up to what’s actually going on there. Absolutely disgusting.
@@oliverlang1006 yeah she’s obviously on her own mission. She described the famine as if it’s what is happening now and she has all kind of contradictions in her stories. It is most definitely a oppressive evil regime but it’s not a genocide. I doubt that they are hiding piles of human corpses ready to be cannibalized by the starving population.
@@goldbluetears what info are you going off of that there isn’t a famine? I looked up the contradictions to her story and she’s addressed each of them very reasonably. The South Korean show that she was on really messed up her story because of how they wanted to portray her unfortunately. She even addresses the discrepancies between her and her mom.
@@oliverlang1006 there was a great famine in the 90s in NK thats where a lot of people died of starvation. Nowadays the issue is not so much food but freedom. Obviously people can buy food, there are markets and supermarkets. There are a lot of NK defectors you can listen to, especially in south Korea to get a more rounded picture. She is obviously paid by some right wing think american tank to push their narrative, maybe thats why she is dressed like a sex-doll. "the evil leftists are destroying america turning it to NK..." I mean its pretty obvious. When she started with the story being robbed by two black chicks and the people accusing her of racism I mean c´mon... fit people are now white supremacists yeah right, nobody says that, white people and asians are now the most oppressed group in america, ok yeah got it! All she does is over the top narrative examples to manipulate the emotions of the viewers and guide them into a certain direction!
Comscum Or when you go to any European country and realize half of them are poor. Then you go to China, Thailand and India and realize more than 60% are poor
A capital with no bad looking people, everyone seems healthy, active, even athletic. They seem all emotionless, no angry, no sadness, just some kind of "normal" happiness. Seems like loud talking, maybe general discussions... it looks like a movie set.
I hope someday someone will stand up and rise to take over to help North Korea *Edit* :Wow I didn't except so many likes thx anyways u didn't have to like
@@thetessellater9163 they wouldn't if NK allowed tourists to go anywhere freely accross the country and interview commoners to show real Korea instead of CIA version.
It's heartbreaking to see the lack of joy on people's faces. I can only imagine the challenges the civilians there face daily. Hoping for a future where everyone can live freely and with happiness.
The closest I ever want to be the North Korea is the DMZ in South Korea. And I feel rather nervous about even going to the DMZ! Kudos to you for being brave enough to take this journey!
This seemed like a positive review. I think that's why they made it that way. They had someone stay with you to make sure you only see the best version.
That's exactly what happened. They want to make themselves seem stronger, wealthier and more prosperous then they actually are, hence the unused grocery stores filled with packaged food, and also the "guided tour" that heavily restricts you from leaving the hotel or sight of a tour guide, so they only show you the best the country has to offer. Tourists aren't actually allowed into the real parts of North Korea, where it's a hyper militarized hell hole. There are armed guards who's sole purpose is to prevent their own people from leaving the country. That's how terrible it is.
Im a Filipino, one thing I like from NK is that you know if you're a visitor, you're just a Visitor and nothing more like a big boss or a high status foreign that look down to small people unlike in my country that serves foreign rather than our own.
@@charlottebaskill2732 Yes North Koreans can freely travel to China for work and vacation. It’s actually when they go to South Korea and the South Korean doesn’t let them home, yes North Koreans want to go back home most of the time but South Korea essentially kidnaps them but the western world acts like it’s normal because North Korea is sCaRy.
When you walk around Seoul, you have the ⛰ behind the city landscapes, which are just so pretty and there's greenery all around! It looks cold in N.Korea (not in temperature) but in emotion 😱
Thank you for seeing this document on North Korea . All I can say is that people usually make the nation or country not government politics not in the case of North Korea.
sadly it’s just normal to them, but I also don’t think that they are allowed to interact with tourists for the same reasons tourists can’t go to the majority of places in NK
How entitled of you. If I was there I wouldn't really care about tourists, there are more things that is worth doing than to accomodate foreigners. They have a life too.

Thank you Brittney! Appreciate your support, enjoy the rest of the series! 🙏🇰🇵
Me neither, but according to defectors North Koreans smile a lot more than the South Koreans, which I'd find understandable
They don’t know how hard they have it, or they are instructed to do so.
@ Phung Tran
That's not true. They're well aware. Those defectors saying that their countrymen are smiling a lot more are honest and not talking about manipulated propaganda material. Bottomline is: Just because you have freedom it doesn't mean you're happier. In South Korea apparently the people seem colder, smile less. Which is very understandable if you think about how in 1st world countries we're constantly under stress, and often lost sight of what really makes us happy
they look the same as we are when we are staring into our smartphones everytime
As a South Korean, I've finished my military service and always wondered how it'd look like in North Korea. I used to regard all North Korean as an 'enemy', but now that I think, there is only one enemy up there
Yes. It is case with all countries. Civilians are not bad, the government and military are what responsible for a country's image in world.
It would’ve helped if we did the bomb the place to smithereens in 1953 and proudly and brutally economically sanction their public since then.
@@gauravnegi4312 Not quite... look at South Africa.
@@beardedlonewolf7695 What about South Africa? You act like civilians in Europe and North America are all angels. You sound like a Boer who is just sour that apartheid is over.
The only enemy is the state .
For the curious, the market isnt an actual market. You'll notice there's dust on the bottles and the reason that the shop was locked is because it always is. They have those in view of tourrists to make it seem like the country isnt short on food. The reality is nothing is every sold from there and noone is ever allowed in there.
Sabina Wurmbrand said something slightly similar happened in Communist Romania, but really almost worse: she said that shortages were really bad, but when the country opened up for tourists, suddenly the stores were stocked with goods that they hadn't seen in years. Then, when the borders were closed, the shortages were worse than ever.
Like on the movie?
If you want to know what North Korea really like - read Every Falling Star. It’s written by a man who grew up in the 90s in North Korea yet escaped in the early 2000’s…his story is unimaginable.
Just remember that the 90s was one of the worst time periods to be in North Korea. The collapse of the USSR was devastating for the economic conditions in the DPRK.
Kim Jong-un is fat while his people starve. That’s all I need to know. He is a monster and there is no life in Korea. North Korea is only survival. Any country that does not allow its citizens to leave is nothing more than a prison state. I’ve heard recent accounts of families committing suicide because life is so disgustingly awful and if one person were to commit suicide, their family would be punished anyway so now entire families are just taking themselves out. I’m so grateful that I was not born there.
He is talking nonsense,
@QBRec1 explain please I don't understand
Will look out for the read, thanks
Even if you are recording using the best camera it will turn into a 90s-like footage when it is recorded in the North Korea. Amazing!

Your right, but maybe “amazing” is not the best word for it.. 😅
Kapitan Rambell but how tho....
I'm sorry I laughed. I feel like i shouldn't laugh
@@ariscosollover73 I am sorry too... I can relate to you 🤣
I remember seeing a couple of defectors being interviewed. They'd escaped the country, but not the trauma. One guy talked about how he and his family always thought war with America was coming, but instead of being scared of war coming, they prayed every day that it would come soon and kill them all so their nightmare would end. They looked so utterly drained and without hope. It was heartbreaking.
Yep videos are only played of leaders. Everyday in your first days of schooling.
Taught to hate a country. But said country doesn't care because North Korea has nothing in its land America wants.
If the country of North Korea was full of rare materials you bet you ass. North Korea would have needed it regime 20 years ago.
That’s terrible, wow
That's horrible! We need to pray more frequently for North Korea, and the world, and work harder to share the Gospel!
@@annep.1905 praying does nothing.
@@pgxk5 Praying is asking God to intervene. Sometimes prayer is the only thing we can do, and God is able to do above all that we ask or think. He is even able to send an answer before we ask.
I am sorry for you, for you have no hope, either for this life or the next. That can change, if you're willing to do some honest research.
I have a weird fascination with North Korea but yet am terrified of it as well
Don't be terrified. I'm sure if you got invited to Paris, you would be excited. It's just the western propaganda. Hopefully you'll get over it.
I share your fascination!
Nothing to be terrified about. They're literally nothing
I do as well.
Same i will definitely go there someday
Hi, I'm an ordinary college student born in Korea. I watched your video very well. Since I'm Korean, I haven't even been to North Korea myself, and I'm only learning about North Korea through these videos and school lessons. North Korea and South Korea are very close but far away. So your video about North Korea is so amazing and new. Thank you so much for shooting this video about North Korea. It's definitely the same ethnicity, they speak the same language, and have the same culture, but I can't meet them, I can't talk to them, and I think it's so sad that so much is gradually changing. I hope this problem can be solved soon before there are any more changes... Even if it doesn't work out, I definitely want to go to North Korea someday. 😊
You should probably know that this video is full of lies created by Americans then.
Since you are South Korean and the North Korean government claims authority over the whole Korean peninsula, are you gonna be allowed to leave if you ever visited North Korea? I mean, wouldn’t the North Korean government consider you their citizen and apply all their restrictions to you, once you cross the border?
You speak very good English. You're well spoken.
dont go to north korea you wont return
Do not ever go there.

It's like living in the United States not too different.
Lol
Dont forget this person cant say any negative things about north korea because everyone who goes there has to sign a contract that they can sue him if he talks negatively about north korea so your not actually getting his oppinion
But when he comes back to America, he can still talk negative about North Korea? I assume if he did that, it's best for him to not come back if they see something like that.
The contract is about libel. Not opinion.
@Hi, I'm Barbara Just a bit of correct info from someone who's from Russia: you prolly won't get arrested for complaining about your country. Criticizing the Russian Government is pretty much a national hobby. You shouldn't do it as a foreigner, but that's just a common sense thing, Americans wouldn't like tourists shitting on US either. You might get arrested if you are actually agitating people. Like if you'd start a protest against the government or something. Serious anti-regime propaganda will for sure get you in trouble, but the police could care less about what people are casually talking about. Simply said, making a dumb joke about Putin won't get you arrested, even if it's on the internet and has millions of views. Oh, you should actually check out all the memes we make about Putin, they are quite funny :)

The bank of international settlements is the central bank of central banks. Located in switzerland which was founded by the knights templar. along with cern, fifa, templars priory of sion, etc also being there. the list just keeps going. The bible said the beast would have 7 heads and 10 horns. The swiss government has 7 heads and 10 districts. Kim Jung un and ghadaffi both went to school in Switzerland and speak swiss german. Not many know this. Their banks have been caught parasiting billions through fraud and working with criminals to have money offshores. Thats just one time. Imagine the trillions they have taken from the american people working hard everyday. Thats why Americans are all circumcised. We are the pharoahs slaves. In Egypt it was slaves who got circumcised.. Obelisks, hieroglyphs, pharoah murals, masonry symbols, etc all over switzerland. Every single President ever is linked to swiss royalty and this includes trump, obama, and hillary. Every government ever has swiss people running it. Every army ever has swiss generals. There is literally terms and quotes from swiss people how they bring Switzerland with them and dont integrate. Huge chunk of swiss are spread all over the world this is known as "swiss diaspora creating 5th Switzerland" aka 5th column sleepr agents all over. They take the police, military, and political roles then grab us by the balls. If you look at the swiss belt where all the swiss went in the united states tons of cities named zurich, berne, etc all identical to Switzerland. They are the top of the pyramid. Who would suspect "clean neutral Switzerland"
"Neutral" Switzerland established in 1291, home of the Knights Templar Egyptian pharaonic bloodline and their stolen cache of Jerusalem gold, bankrolled artist and forceful charismatic German orator and propagandist Adolph Hitler, to undertake the biggest heist of financial, physical and human capital ever seen, 1939-1945. The Bank for International Settlements was established in the early 1920s with a stated purpose of facilitating German WW1 reparations. Nothing was further from the truth. The Swiss Pharaohs using the BIS started to raid European countries for their wealth. In the late 1930s an enormous storehouse of oil was found in Saudi Arabia. The House of Windsor (UK monarchy, formerly 'Mountbatten', formerly 'Battenberg' Germans) quickly embraced Saudi Arabia as its vassal and the Swiss pharaohs of "neutral" Switzerland set up a shipping fleet (purportedly "aid" ships) that transported Saudi Arabian oil to Germany. A war would soon begin. The finance and the energy source had been found to protract a war between Pharaohs, by and on behalf of Pharaohs, for a half decade. The Swiss Pharaohs of the European and British elite families would begin their extermination of the common people, their slaves. Thus began World War II.

This makes me appreciate living in the U.S. much more, even though the rich part of North Korea and what he has showed so far doesn't seem too bad, we haven't experienced the poor parts yet, which I couldn't even imagine what those areas are like. It's crazy how many of us here around the world break so many laws that they have over in North Korea every single day.

@Denise Mohr it was a poster. A POSTER. not your suitcase with valuable goods. so you think because this guy stole a poster that a 15 years sentence of hard labor is justified? please revaluate what you're trying to say, i beg you. it's absolute madness.
@Denise Mohr Japan isnt even comparable to North Korea. People in Japan dont fuck with you out of culture. People in NK are too scared.
Is dead now
I don’t think he did it. The “evidence” they had was some grainy footage from the 2nd floor (a floor for employees only) taking a poster off the wall and setting it down into the floor.
So he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for taking a poster off the wall and setting it on the floor. I think he was framed myself.
Coffee Lover there is more footage of his actual face, he did do it, I saw it myself. I don’t think he should’ve been sentenced to 15 years, however he should understand the consequences that come along with going to North Korea. 🇰🇵
I would never be willing to take the risk to go there. It’s not worth it to get imprisoned there for making a small mistake, especially when you’re not really seeing what it’s actually like anyway.

This was a next level travel vlog. Very interesting details you shared about not being able to fold the newspaper a certain way, or take a picture that cuts off the leader with the framing. Look forward to Ep #2
Internet rumor said that Otto Warmbier had been arrested, not for stealing a sign (an obvious fake video), but because he had wrapped his shoes in a newspaper with the leader's photo when packing to leave. These little details and rules which seem ridiculous to people in pretty much any other country, can mean the difference between life and death in NK.
I think this is episode 2
This is not next level. This is just a vlog how a normal vlog should look like. There are a lot more documentaries about north korea on YT. Look for it, they give you much more information!!
Yes there were some interesting tidbits, but it was frustrating to hear the blogger declare that something was interesting, or not at all what he expected, without giving any explantation as to Why, or even what so piqued his interest. As for the fully stocked, but unoccupied markets, did you consider the possibility that they were simply staged props for tourists designed to suggest that North Korea was a land of plenty?

Hello Indigo Traveller! As a person coming from a former communist country (the soviet union), I feel an obligation to tell something about the basics of communist propaganda systems taught to ordinary citizens in case of meeting a tourist.
1. tourists in the USSR were not under any circumstances allowed to move around without their guides.
2. As a citizen, we were taught to never make eye contact with foreigners (eye contact or any form of interaction would be considered "conversing" with the enemy of the "mighty" socialist people: as a result, you would be labeled as an enemy of the people (state))
3. Tourists were only shown the wealthiest areas of the largest cities in the union.
4. Common citizens didn't have access to stores (supermarkets) to the degree of western countries. We would be standing in lines in central Moscow for several hours just to get a loaf of bread per person. Yes, you couldn't just buy as much bread as you wanted (assuming you had the money), because everything was rationed. Big stores with lots of different products were only made for show to tourists, exactly in the manner as shown in your video in Pyongyang.
5. hotels were extremely rare, and almost inaccessible to ordinary citizens. Only tourists and foreigners could stay the night in a hotel.
6. Disabled, old and poor citizens would be removed from the cities and put into camps away from the public eye, so that they wouldn't spoil the view of the city.
7. Goal number one of the USSR regarding tourism, was to put up a show impressing foreigners, making the impression that everything is amazing and people are happy and well fed, looking busy doing their duty for the motherland.
8. People in the USSR were not allowed to leave their city or village of origin without special permission from the areal political commissar. Most citizens lived their whole lives and died on the same spot during those 70+ years the USSR existed.
I can not say if this is the same case as it was when I grew up, but it sure looks a lot like it! So much that I almost felt at home! And that feeling isn't a nostalgic one, but more like a nightmare you try to forget.
Thank you for sharing your experience in Russia. Is it still like that? Love from 🇬🇷 Greece! ❤️
@@liontarina8932 Καλημέρα!
No, fortunately it is not like that in Russia anymore. Everyone can visit and travel freely. The strict circumstances applied only during communism.
RUSSHA is far better than shit hole North Korea !
wow. thanks for telling this. just got a new insight if how it is for the citizen of communist regime.
@@therussian572 ❤️ 🕊️🌼
when i was watching video i thought Kim was watching me. this country is scary tho
true asf
Yeah, I got a shiver down my spine
Can someone tell me what did that student do for him to die?
@@lunay4723 He took down a poster in a hotel without permission.
@@gigabitsounds ooo thats it😪
Imagine if Logan Paul went to North Korea.
Edit: Thank you for the likes! Lets hope Logan sees this😂
Shirley Liu brujhhh
noooooo HAHAHA
That would end up bad for him
It would end by filming a dead body at the end and it would be his
We should SEND him to North Korea
“The worst mistake of my life” that’s heartbreaking 0:29
The place gives me a weird vibe
Maiatsu yeah tbh it does since literally everyone is dead inside it’s really sad when you think of it 😔
Same !
Maiatsu NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!
Watching this after listening to Yeonmi Park on Joe Rogan’s podcast, you realize that this is just all show. You really can see just how fake it all is, they want foreigners to leave with a feeling like “see it’s not so bad here” but when you hear an actual North Korean’s account of what it’s really like to live there, the facade just fades away. You can even tell the natives didn’t want to make eye contact with the cameras. Ugh the oppression is sickening. I hope Rogan’s podcast episode with Yeonmi really opens more and more eyes up to what’s actually going on there. Absolutely disgusting.
Dude all the people saying she’s lying makes me sick
@@oliverlang1006 yeah she’s obviously on her own mission. She described the famine as if it’s what is happening now and she has all kind of contradictions in her stories. It is most definitely a oppressive evil regime but it’s not a genocide. I doubt that they are hiding piles of human corpses ready to be cannibalized by the starving population.
@@goldbluetears what info are you going off of that there isn’t a famine? I looked up the contradictions to her story and she’s addressed each of them very reasonably. The South Korean show that she was on really messed up her story because of how they wanted to portray her unfortunately. She even addresses the discrepancies between her and her mom.
@@oliverlang1006 there was a great famine in the 90s in NK thats where a lot of people died of starvation. Nowadays the issue is not so much food but freedom.
Obviously people can buy food, there are markets and supermarkets. There are a lot of NK defectors you can listen to, especially in south Korea to get a more rounded picture.
She is obviously paid by some right wing think american tank to push their narrative, maybe thats why she is dressed like a sex-doll. "the evil leftists are destroying america turning it to NK..."
I mean its pretty obvious. When she started with the story being robbed by two black chicks and the people accusing her of racism I mean c´mon... fit people are now white supremacists yeah right, nobody says that, white people and asians are now the most oppressed group in america, ok yeah got it!
All she does is over the top narrative examples to manipulate the emotions of the viewers and guide them into a certain direction!
This is the reason I checked this video out after hearing her story.
Its like some creepy fake show for tourist *In specific spots of the tour* obviously people around are living real lives.
It is a creepy fake show and everybody knows it.
Just like when you go to NYC and then you realize half of America is poor, right?
ye just like that
Like the movie The Interview
Comscum Or when you go to any European country and realize half of them are poor. Then you go to China, Thailand and India and realize more than 60% are poor
We should not live in fear, but you’re brave going into North Korea and risking yourself as a tourist. I appreciate the video.
A capital with no bad looking people, everyone seems healthy, active, even athletic. They seem all emotionless, no angry, no sadness, just some kind of "normal" happiness. Seems like loud talking, maybe general discussions... it looks like a movie set.
Dystopia in full swing. No fat people, only smart people. Only good looking people. The leaders are the only ones fat, ugly and smiling.
No.
They do not seem healthy they seem restricted.
yeah because it basically is a movie set when foreigners come
Reminds me of The Lottery 🤠
I hope someday someone will stand up and rise to take over to help North Korea
*Edit* :Wow I didn't except so many likes thx anyways u didn't have to like
Olivia • wut
Ima Younginnn btw it's fine
We must help south korea to defeat north and they will be reunited again
and then that he/she's country getting a nuke from n.k
Yes let it happen....
This is like a simulator game everyone just doing their thing
this makes me feel blessed to be where im from. Id be to scared to go there ngl.
You can definitely go if you can afford it. Just don't do anything stupid and you'll be fine.
This is the kind of video I like to see in my recommended. Superb production quality!
Thank you so much ❤️
patrick young mad?
Right? I never got into vloggers, but this is incredibly well done. Good stuff and great editing!
patrick young ... lmao wtf?
For 1 person, yeah its amazing editing.
I’m from Nigeria and I have to say I love my country more after watching this 😢
Same
Yes o. We don't know the value of what we have until we loose it. I love Nigeria abeg😊
And no wahala ❤
Nigeria is messed up country as well. Pls all stay away from Europe.
We love Nigeria Biko wat is this
The fully stocked supermarkets are just like the movie “The Interview”, it’s all for props.
Amazing how many people keep repeating the same old CIA shite about DPRK
@@thetessellater9163 what do you mean?
@@thetessellater9163 they wouldn't if NK allowed tourists to go anywhere freely accross the country and interview commoners to show real Korea instead of CIA version.
A raunchy comedy movie might not be the best source to go off of.
It's probably more food than some entire cities in the rest of the country have.
It's heartbreaking to see the lack of joy on people's faces. I can only imagine the challenges the civilians there face daily. Hoping for a future where everyone can live freely and with happiness.
Please be safe wherever you go ☺
The closest I ever want to be the North Korea is the DMZ in South Korea. And I feel rather nervous about even going to the DMZ! Kudos to you for being brave enough to take this journey!
This seemed like a positive review. I think that's why they made it that way. They had someone stay with you to make sure you only see the best version.
It was very neutral. I would imagine he didn't want to say anything negative and of course wanted to follow the rules to not get in trouble.
@@jaym5112 I’m surprised he was even allowed in there how was he able to get in ke did he not get noticed
Or maybe you don't have any real clue about the country except what you are told to believe.
That's exactly what happened. They want to make themselves seem stronger, wealthier and more prosperous then they actually are, hence the unused grocery stores filled with packaged food, and also the "guided tour" that heavily restricts you from leaving the hotel or sight of a tour guide, so they only show you the best the country has to offer.
Tourists aren't actually allowed into the real parts of North Korea, where it's a hyper militarized hell hole. There are armed guards who's sole purpose is to prevent their own people from leaving the country. That's how terrible it is.
Im a Filipino, one thing I like from NK is that you know if you're a visitor, you're just a Visitor and nothing more like a big boss or a high status foreign that look down to small people unlike in my country that serves foreign rather than our own.
My dad was North Korean, my mom is Canadian. My dad met my mom in sk... had me and my older brother... but he passed on in 2008 😞
:((
@@charlottebaskill2732 i mean you can try to escape if you're talking about north korea
@@charlottebaskill2732 Yes North Koreans can freely travel to China for work and vacation. It’s actually when they go to South Korea and the South Korean doesn’t let them home, yes North Koreans want to go back home most of the time but South Korea essentially kidnaps them but the western world acts like it’s normal because North Korea is sCaRy.
@@playboiqwerty2395 Yea, 15 years of hard labour for tearing down a poster is indeed scary. Your point?
:(((((
That shot at 8:00 is amazing. I can't help but try to think about their lives and what they must be like as individuals when I see their faces.
When you walk around Seoul, you have the ⛰ behind the city landscapes, which are just so pretty and there's greenery all around! It looks cold in N.Korea (not in temperature) but in emotion 😱
That they more like they country and more clever
To the guy above me, did communism kill off your grammar lmao
@@Sanzzzzzzzzz r/ihadastroke
Thank you for seeing this document on North Korea .
All I can say is that people usually make the nation or country not government politics not in the case of North Korea.
Everyone looked so spaced out, as if they were looking at something over the horizon. It's really easy to see at 7:58.
Slurpy The Cat and after that, the scene with the the bus, probably just a bunch of actors
Yeah the slow motion helps a lot
As a South Korean I never get to see NK this close. Thanks for sharing this. Kinda surprised to see how modernized they are in their capital city.
You have to think thats probably the top one%
Already knew that and still surprised
What you see is top 1%people's life
안다고;;
@@superduper456 hahahahaha
unwelcoming people, expressionless, robotic.. what else? those poor people living there 😢
sadly it’s just normal to them, but I also don’t think that they are allowed to interact with tourists for the same reasons tourists can’t go to the majority of places in NK
@@fabulamesam you are right.......and lets name that reason, slavery. North Koreans are imprisoned slaves.
Dont judge the people. Thats their environment because of strict from president
@@horacio6985 póg má thóna
How entitled of you. If I was there I wouldn't really care about tourists, there are more things that is worth doing than to accomodate foreigners. They have a life too.
