the reason i pronounce it peeksa is cuz my mom and dad can't speak english, and that's how everyone in my mexican family pronounced it.
sorry :(

Mexican-American immigrant accents are interesting
That seems to be something common around South America, because same
That guy in the restaurant looks terrified. These aren't paid actors, these are forced actors.
Yeah, pretty much everything is staged. There's even a fake village with lights that are srt to activate/deactivate (inside houses) at certain hours in order to make believe people actually live there.
@@aikou2886 isn't that the one near the south Korean border? The one with people pretending to live there too? That shit is creepy. Literally reads like something out of a creepypasta or something
@@panqueque445 I'm not sure but that might as well be the case.
Now that you mention it yeah it does, the fact that it's a real situation just makes it creepier.

My God.
yeah lets say sometimes it depends highly on perspectives
That’s how you know their government has gone too far
Lol "freedom of speech" in *China*
If you're jealous that China has more rights than your own country then that's when you know that shit's fucked
For them it's heaven.
Something stuck out to me watching the woman walking around the food store in the propaganda film, nobody looks at her or the camera. Anytime that people film stuff in public places, the people around always look to see what is going on, they're curious, it's a natural reaction when you see someone holding a camera and talking. But in this film everyone makes a point of looking like they are just going about their normal buissness and try to avoid any look even in the direction of the camera. They're all just actors and are obviously given very precise instructions on how to 'act normal ' which of course comes across as anything but normal
Very good observation
Holy sht yes O.O
I had the same feeling but I thought they might be spies
Yeah that’s a really good point, the people in the store looks like that they are being held at gunpoint its honestly scary.

Meat? Kim Jung is probably the only person in NK to be able to eat meat.
The most unsettling thing is the lack of rice, flour, oil and other essential foodstuff in the stores.
"The hamburgers are the best"
Theres still hope for them. I hope one day they can shake off their dictator and unifiy the koreas so we can all enjoy a BBQ together.
the shocking thing in the "life inside the secret state" video showing those 2 women watching forein media
one of them mentions the Soviet Union, which shows how isolated NK really is from the rest of the world

"One Week later" The youtuber know as Goose_Boose has mysterious dissapeared. This comes after he posted a video about NK. The NK government has denied any claims of kidnapping
*Two weeks later*
Famous youtuber, Goose Boose, is found dead in a half-dug pit
with 5 bullets found in the back of the head. Authorities suspect suicide.
Something similar happened to a youtuber called vexxed. He disappeared from the platform after publishing a video about north korea. Is his video related to his disappearing? That's highly unlikely, but you never know.
Also, his video's length is only 7 seconds different from this video. Coincidence? I think not.
*3 Weeks later* The TH-camr Goose Boose. The 3 Bullets in the back of his head are WW2 bullets that was created in a Russian Factory in Siberia. NK is still denying that they kidnapped him and/or killed him. The police is still investigating on who the murderer was.

Everyone seems to be talking about how he pronounces pizza and not the actual video. This all is so disturbing and sad. The little boy at the end, who said his mom couldn't look after him anymore so he "had to go", those images drawn by somebody who managed to get out... I can't believe this is real and this is a real country treating people like this. We can all just hope and pray that this will come to an end as soon as possible and that as many north Korean citizens get to see the light of the real world to experience a real life, not this God-complex driven country.
Poor little boy. It's so heartbreaking what these people have to go through.
exactly, that clip ripped my soul :(
I always find it so dumb how people living in first world countries bash there leaders and governments and act like living in the us or europe is so bad. Like for example I will admit the u.s. has problems, like all countries, but the stuff countries like china, north Korea, and Russia do are on another level. We need to stand up more to countries like those.
@@bruno_kunda people and russia are oppressed you can't speak out against the government so they dont have freedom of speech
Panzercaptian. People who criticise their country usually only want to see it made better.
Also I’ll go tell all the homeless people that they can’t complain cuz they ain’t in North Korea and at least they’re starving in a good country.
What about all those people executed by police? Well at least it wasn’t a North Korean firing squad.
Half the country are uncertain that they can even make their rent but let’s ignore that and invade a few more third world countries to ‘make things better’ for their people. It’s really worked out well so far.
Another fun fact few people know: The employee at the super market and the waitress at the 'Italian' restaurant are wearing thick jackets. That's because there is no heating in those buildings. Electricity is scarce in beloved N.Korea and what's even more scarce is heating petroleum. That's why you will see indoor employees in many shops with thick winter style clothes.
there was a gas heater in the italien restaurant, also the cola-cups were empty and some poeple had to immediatley think oh i have a drink in my mouth as they saw they were on camera.
That's communism for ya :/
Wrong, they are simply caring for the environment, and that is why they freeze to death in the winter. They are simply commited to doing their part for global warming, can't you see?
@@undertyped1 You're on crack.
@@mokushmasmo6009 i think it was a joke
When it comes to these videos and other propaganda, I always find it funny how they always stay in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea and, as such, where the bureaucrats and oligarchy live; and, as such where the wealth is concentrated.
And even then they make a shit job at showing wealth.
Not even true, you can find plenty of videos outside Pyongyang. Wonsan, Hamhung, sariwon. They’re honestly better than Pyongyang in many regards
@@jacobr3743 They’re relatively big thirties in NK, but it’s nothing like Pyongyang. Perhaps Kaesong might be the only city better off since it got factories from SK.
I really wish we’d stop playing politics and actually do something about this and retake that country to finally liberate these poor souls.
Sadly no can do as that would cause world war 3 and cause the suffering of billions

One of the most telling signs for me is that you never see any animals anywhere in these clips no birds flying around the city no squirrels no mice no nothing no dogs or cats. The reason why is because there’s nothing to mooch off of, It’s not worth trying to because people are just as likely to catch and eat them as other refugees have stated,and people can’t afford to keep pets.
The one animal we see, the sea lion at the aquatic show, is probably being treated poorly as well, as those animals are highly intelligent and require a lot of stimulation, and of course need lots and lots of food to give them energy and keep the blubber at stable levels. But as North Korea treats their people like literal garbage, it's safe to assume the poor pinniped is probably depressed and malnourished if not dead as we speak.
I wonder how many indigenous species were there in the past before they went extinct because the people had literally nothing to eat and meat is really tempting.
That's because any animal people find are eaten!
its not the peoples fault tho, id do the same.
There was a chimp in a zoo that used to smoke cigs with the workers
when you actually speak Korean (and lived), it's way more obvious that the people who are talking in the videos are acting very unnatural and speaks in more of a rigid, forced tone as Goose said. I still cannot be sure because I only know how people act in south Korea, not the north. But I'm pretty sure people don't act like that when they are normally speaking and just doing their things. It's scary that unknown horrible things are done to the people in the North by their tyrant.
I’m South Korean, and that’s just Pyongyang accent tbh. No accent sounds much stiffer and drier than SK (esp Seoul) accents, and NK defectors often point out how gentle and soft Seoul men sound.
The whole supermarket thing reminded me of the scene in The Interview where James Franco realizes all the food in the store is fake.
Truth
Is it just me or most of the footage of North Korea looks like one of those Liminal Spaces things but with people in it.
The first thing that popped into my mind after reading this was, "North Korea is in the Backrooms" and to be honest living in either of them sounds scary.
Thhaaaaaaaannnnkk yoooooooou! Iiiiiiiil saaaaaaaaaay goooooooood byeeeeee sooooooooon

Questionable to say the least
In those supermarket shots, another thing I noticed was the other "shoppers". Just look at the way they are looking at the products. When I go grocery shopping, I don't spend any time looking the product or packaging. it's just, oh there's the noodles>grab them. This is especially true if you're not comparing brands, yet in those clips, they look as if they've never seen those products and have to read every bit of information on the packaging. Also, if there is a high demand for stuff and peole are in those supermarket/grocery stores every day, buying stuff, why are the damn shelves so full? This just adds to the notion that a lot of these are just props. I mean, fully obscured plastic packaging...we never see whats actually inside.
Everyone in the theme park restaurant were pretend drinking soda.
They almost looked like they've never seen a straw
Thats problaly the case

Yo I just noticed something really creepy, in certain parts of the videos when you see busses driving by, I randomly looked at them and noticed that every single time a bus passed it was completely empty except for the driver. That's kinda odd and off-putting.
I saw 1 other person, which might be someone keeping the driver in line
When buses were going around here, in the sticks (middle of nowhere) I would usually be the only passenger on the bus whenever I was on. It was wierd but I guess if most people had cars to get to half-hour away towns...! Maybe it's something of a spaced-out-urban thing? Not that NK's could afford a fiver for a return ticket but....?
At least people used our buses before my area of the route was scrapped, they're just wasting money for show. I feel like I'm in a Universal set tour again.
@@Roadent1241 Historically, socialist nations have made far more use of public transport than countries like ours. It could just be that they have more bus routes running, and as such, every bus is less full. Alternatively, this footage could have been taken in the middle of the work day (I suspect it was), which means the busses would have lower passenger counts.
@@redengineer4380 Yeah, fair enough. We used to have buses going past at least once an hour and it's been nothing for nearly a decade now.

Not even that, no store looks that good on average. Notice how everything is perfectly stocked, organized evenly. Any store that experiences business will have openings here and there, not perfectly filled.
ive heard that that red pin you see a lot of the north Koreans wearing in the amusement park is a status symbol. Indicating their place as one of the highest in their society. Thats probably why theyre allowed in the park. Theyre in the one percent.

Pure fucking speculation, nice.
That was genuinely unsettling. The man in the restaurant looked absolutely terrified, just like in that photo of Kim Yong-un posing with a North Korean family.
EST They’ll threaten them by making death threats to them and their families
It’s really sad to see them have to act like this. I remember in an interview Asian Boss did with North Korean defectors, one of them said North Koreans were generally warmer and friendlier to them than South Koreans. There are people who not only act normally but perhaps lovingly in the country, but all we can see are the animatronic props the government lets us see.
I imagine these same actors going home to their families in run-down apartments, where everyone’s relieved that they’re okay and have not been met with threats, though they have to keep their voices down due to the thin walls. That’s all a person can hold onto in such a climate. In some ways, it’s a good thing North Korea is a poor country because the government would otherwise have the resources to install cameras everywhere, even in homes that otherwise lack electricity, and monitor them constantly, like 1984-style telescreens. A huge part of 1984 was about how everyone had to guard their emotions and actions at all times, unable to be open with anyone, so the choice was to evade suspicion until they inevitably disappeared or become blissfully ignorant propaganda machines until they still slipped up and eventually disappeared.
I really hope North Koreans are able to find some kind of sanctuary where they can express themselves as well as a general understanding that this is what they all do, that they’re not alone, and they’re all just reading scripts so the government won’t kill their families.
Bold of you to assume any actors in these commercials were paid anything.
So I've done some digging around and... it looks like Echo of Truth and a lot of similar channels have been COMPLETELY wiped from TH-cam.
good
A well stocked supermarket definitely doesn't tell me people are well fed. Sounds like it's too expensive (blurred prices) so not many people can shop there.
if you watch other documentaries about NK, that is exactly the case. They dont even let the lower class into those "grocerys" because it would look bad in front of tourists, it is all a lie.
Yeah like Piss dog (lol) said, only a wealthy minority can shop there
Only NK elites can shop there, thats high level govermnet workers or people really loyal to the partie.
39:01 notice closely that most of the woman are either crying, frowning or have a blank stare when next to Kim. You would think they all would be happy and thrilled to see him but nope. Gives me the chills.

@@Deadhead-kq4hr Female military officers were revealed by a defector to be abused in unspeakable ways by higher ranking male officers, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kim Jong Un had he's own share of disgusting crimes committed against them.
look at the chef at the bottem next to the girl on the bottom right, she ain't doin' well
I am completely against NK's system and leaders, however it is quite common to appear upset and overwhelmed like that because they worship their leaders. Imagine meeting the most Christlike person, or Christ himself, and what each person's individual reaction to that would be. Of course many tears would be streaming then, it does not necessarily mean it's from suffering.

Yeah, I’m South Korean and you’re (or your translator is) correct.
Another detail in the Italian restaurant: the interviewer never takes off her coat and scarf, and as even more of a tell, there are those propane heaters scattered throughout. The building likely isn't running (or doesn't have) central heating.
No less that’s a propane heater that SHOULD NOT be operated indoors 😳

food thats processed and packaged like that stays edible for insanely long, so the store rarely has to throw anything out, making it look like its full of fresh goods. and honestly other than that mall all the other locales look kind of cheap and low quality, reminds me of small family owned businesses
When your economy has scarcely grown or diversified since the 70s, you have no buying power in the world. Hence poor food production and distribution. Just owning a store in the capital was banned until recently
I also have a feeling the store doesn't usually look that full, even with it being processed food. Maybe it is, but it all looks so perfect. Labels on cans are all facing outward, everything is perfectly stocked. I don't think it's crazy to think that it might be set up for the video
A lot of their stores don’t even sell a lot of their stock a chunk of the stuff on display is just that.....display

Nice complete speculation with no hard proof. Also, do you really think it'd be that hard to make someone memorize a few lines? Oh, right, normal people just talking don't ever look away while they talk to think of what they're going to say.
@Alexander Scales Defector testimony is unreliable as hell, and DPRK defectors who want to go back have been known to talk to family members.
inactive shooter there’s actually tiers of citizenship were the people who work in the government are automatically on the best one. The second one is just regular citizens, but the last one are people who have betrayed North Korea. You can try to escape North Korea and soldiers would shot and kill you, and because of the attempt of escaping, your whole whole entire family is put into the 3rd category which is the worst one. Those on the 3rd category are treated poorly as If the citizens were already being treated poorly. Those people are not allowed to work, not allowed to buy foods even if that person or persons worked in the government. There are actual times where if you do something to really bad piss of Kim your whole entire blood line is killed. This was said by a North Korean escapee who’s family worked in the government.

But the girl making it was fine af

Imagine starving, then walking into a supermarket and seeing tons of food but never able to take any because it's being used for a propaganda video. Fucking despicable
What makes you think people outside the Party would be allowed near the stores?
assuming that they are not props
its not like itd do much nutritional value anyway considering its all just junk food
Or maybe it’s just too damn expensive.
The capital is for the rich people you aren’t even allowed to leave your city without a permission you can’t just travel
This is amazingly interesting and I would love to see you cover more of this
You should do a follow up north Korea video for Traumathon 3.... look up Voice of North Korea by Yeonmi Park. She's covering the famine, and cannibalism is becoming scarily common
I’d say even more concerning than the lack of fresh produce is the lack of there being any canned or frozen fruits and vegetables.
Frozen fruits and vegetables can be just as healthy as fresh produce and have a longer shelf life, so if a country is trying to make their produce last longer they ideally wouldn’t leave it fresh and would freeze it or can it. The fact that you don’t see EITHER of those means that the DPRK likely doesn’t even have enough produce for that, even inside their Pyongyang supermarkets that get preferential treatment.
Pyongyang has rolling blackouts, so they're probably unable to keep anything frozen for long.
Strange observation I've made, but... does that amusement park footage of the spinning swing filled with people look odd to anyone else? Nobody has their hands up, nobody is screaming/have expressions of joy... They're all just sitting, holding the bracing. It's like some weird, dystopian movie scene. I totally could be misreading or projecting, but I've never seen so many people just sitting expressionless or motionless on a ride. Very bizarre

They probably aren’t even actors, just people who got ordered to ride the attractions in the background. They are probably scared because if they mess up there will be hell to pay, and they absolutely know that… Poor souls
@@get_kicked8506 Yeah, duh.
Of course not professional Actors.
But its scary either way.
Some cultures view sincerity as proven by loud exclamations (hence often having screaming on a ride as "proof" of excitement) but others view quiet and calm statements as more sincere (such as many Asian cultures viewing people who take a moment before speaking as more sincere).
North Korea is neither. Strong visual responses outside the expected shows can be dangerous so people learn to suppress them even when it isn't needed.
3:34 "in china they've got freedom of speech"

Nah its not really ironic I mean this one's so creepy because it's real life.
Nice username. Liked the wordplay lol
My friend was born in a North Korean labor camp and was smuggled into South Korea by a rescue group in late 1993 or early 1994. He had a brand on his arm they gave him as a baby to show he was born in the camp. He was wonderful and one of my best friends. He was brought up American by great parents but unfortunately still committed suicide at 22.

Here's another interesting detail: All the videos take place in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. While the majority of citizens in the country live in small impoverished villages with little to no food, the "privileged" live in Pyongyang, and have infinitely more money, resources, and food.
Edit: I've edited this to add some more information. At the time of writing this, The North Korean Regime continues to exist (which isn't surprising), but for an unknown reason, Twitter has decided to defend it. Recently, Radio Free Asia (an organization established to bring news in and out of authoritarian regimes similar to Radio Free Europe) published an article abut an incident where North Korean students were killed for simply watching Squid Game. The comment section began to not only denounce the news as fake, but also defend the regime unironically.
I, personally, don't watch Squid Game, but it doesn't matter. The mere fact that people are actually defending North Korea inspite of it's atrocities, is horrifying, just as much as them denouncing actual organizations made to criticized authoritarian regimes. This needs to be stopped, because as long as atleast one person still defends north Korea, the Regime still has a voice. I can't do much as one user, but I plead with the people to stand up to the regime and end misinformation in any way you can. Please, not just for people like me, but the North Koreans who continue to suffer under the regime.
Which means they are being watched more closely
And other big cities as well.
@Skuash at least I can criticize the government and hope for a change rather being delusional who thinks that the president is the only god and being isolated from the entire world, there is a big fucking difference, child...

I'm a biology major that has taken a class about human nutrition. The one thing that bugs me the most about the clip in the supermarket is access to fresh foods. I see no foods of nutritional value such as fresh meats, fruit, and veggies which harbor most of the nutritional value. I hope to god that more food comes in that not only curves the hunger but that also provides nutrients.
Yeah, i also thought that, because processed food is, like, base foods like rice, corn starch and artificial flavors. It has calories, but not much nutrients beyond that.
Their crops are fertilized with human feces as well.
