- VICE Media founder Shane Smith has been traveling to North Korea for years, including during some of the most acrimonious periods in its history. Back in 2018, the country was on a charm offensive and appeared to be slowly emerging from its isolation.
In the wake of a series of inter-Korean summits and the first ever DPRK-U.S. summit, Smith returns to the Korean peninsula to see how Seoul and Pyongyang are reacting to the new détente.

They allow journalists, if you don't do any illegal or the president won't like, you good.
I am shocked Shane went back after the first documentary. They could have easily sent him to the gulag as the first one could have been considered disrespectful to the regime.
I don't think they would really imprison an American journalist at this point. If this was 20 years ago than that would be different but a lot has been happening and relations with North Korea has improved, I don't think they would want to risk that.
They probably would if Kim Jong-il was still the Supreme Leader of North Korea.
Dont get fooled,he was asking for approval to enter again,he wouldnt go if he knew they wanted him in prison
Don't be shocked, this was obviously allowed because he had state officials with them and it is a propaganda doc, not like the way they used to do things at vice. HBO is in control of VICE now

We know from their constant failed tests, they can't do anything right.
The Americans have literally have monitored every test launch they have done via spy sattelites and other means, they consistently fail to reach their objectives and overstate their numbers.
Iran can't even reach the North America with their ICBMs (they publically admit this), and their technology far surpasses North Korea.

@@vibemauster3176 if anything , North Korea was one of the better off countries when the pandemic spread world wide as they do not have open borders and heavily monitor who goes in and out of the country . them being secluded from the rest of the world actually worked in their favor in terms of a global pandemic virus spreading into their country . they should've only had minimal impact in terms of virus statistics and they would've had a huge advantage in stopping the spread if done right . then again it only takes 1 to start the virus spread so how they handled it would greatly determine how well they ended up doing against the virus .

"Today, we are de-militarizing the DMZ..."
Ah yes, we must remove the militaries from the de-militarized zone.
Sushhh 😳
The dmz is actually (contrary to its name) the most militarised zone In north Korea. He made perfect sense when he said that
The dmz is the most militarized boarder on earth and if you cross it you will definitely die
You are an idiot for making that statement
I always thought the name was somewhat ironic tbf. A lot like the ministry of Truth in Orwell's 1984. Strange that....
I’m kind of amazed they let him back in after the Russian adventure...
Yea I was gonna ask how they keep letting him back in, if they aren't going to arrest him. He keeps calling them out on every video.
Maybe North Korea is finally opening-up albeit very weirdly
being a billionaire now probably has something to do with it
I think they're confident. They also figured that vice works very closely with the state department which, under a trump presidency, means that you get a pro-diplomacy and optimistic piece from them.
That shit was awesome. Thats the type of things vice needs to go back to. Not fuckin nipple piercings and lochness monster hunting

I was shocked by the interview of civilians in Pyongyang that they`re open for relations with the US and the west, this plays a huge part and might actually be the best thing for the development of the nation.
I'll be honest they don't have much choice in what they say. The tour guide was staring them down as they spoke and even if the tour guide wasn't there, showing your face on camera and having any opinion against the government in north Korea is basically asking to be killed
I was shocked that he was allowed to interview the civilians in Pyongyang, in the first place 😮. Then again; those two were probably staged, as a part of the tour. I doubt that the minder would have allowed Shane to interview them, if they were just random civilians. Who knows, how many civilians he tried to interview, but was stopped by his minder. 🤔

its incredible to see the guy actually talking about electricity shortage, what a brave man, honestly
I hope that the guide and his family weren’t punished for his honesty and choice to disclose information. While it might be for our entertainment or intrigue because this nation is so divisive and controversial... the truth is that three entire generations of a family could be brutally murdered for speaking out in a way the regime doesn’t like. I enjoyed this piece by Vice news but I hope we take into consideration the dangerous position we could be putting North Koreans in who are simply trying to survive each day.
yea I thought the same. I mean we understand what this country does to these people it is incredibly selfish to put them in danger like this when they share information.

@@rottenrobbie8466 True, decades long Western sanctions killed a million innocent N. Koreans in famine & starvation in the past already.
It's all come down to the West's dependency on China's Rare Earth Minerals.
North Korea is targeted by the Imperialist West all because it possesses the second largest deposits of 'Rare Earth Metals' in the world; worths several Trillion Dollars.
These very rare 'Rare Earth Metals', are essential ingredients in modern electronic equipment.
They are found largely in places like China & N. Korea, which held three quarters of world's rare earth reserves.
Remember, twenty years ago, it was Iraq, and Saddam, and WMD (weapon of mass destruction). The real motive was Oil.
Today, it is North Korea, and Kim, and nuclear weapons. The real motive is Rare Earth Minerals.
Same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick.
@@rottenrobbie8466 so a ruthless dictator that threatens everyone with nuclear apocalypse shouldn't at least be sanctioned? This is ALL on Kim Jong Un. As soon as his top dogs give up power then the North Korean people will get all the help they could ever need and then some.
@@rottenrobbie8466 'Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It'.
Remember, Germany in the pre-World War II era, was imposed upon with numerous and heavy war reparations, tariffs and sanctions by Western Colonial Powers for over a quarter century; eventually when that nation sank into mega depression, which made way for World War II, as Germany struck back.
A similar scenario ran in Japan, when that nation too was bullied by maritime sanction; essentially blocking the whole island through naval blockade by Anglo Western naval ships for so long until Japan ran out of (imported) oil, and struck back at Pearl Harbor naval base that participated in year-long sanctions.
People of North Korea have suffered long enough, half a century of sanctions by the bully West, resulting in the death of over a million innocent people due to starvation & famine.
@@olefella7561 The difference is that the people of Germany were upset and could elect a new leader and form new parties
North Korea doesn't have that.
It's kinda silly to even compare them, though I do get where you're coming from.
LOL when he told the guide there would be no need for militaries if you are not at war, bro had a revelation
I really wonder what the guide was thinking after Shane was talking about how re-unification would make the military less important. He looked at the poster in silence for a second and seemed to be pondering what Shane had said, I wish he had been able to communicate his thoughts on that.
He kinda did a few steps along the corridor.
He was thinking about how to not get his head off
He honestly didn't seem proud of the military, I think he truly craves peace. Sad he's stuck and can't voice his thoughts...
After all the hostilities, to them, reunification seems like a fantasy. Maybe one day, for their future generations, they think it is possible
Probably was watching what he said, he’s on camera and his superiors would’ve seen.
Shane pls dont put the tour guide on the spot like that im legit worried people get executed if they say the wrong thing on camera and you definitely had your tour guide stumbling a bit
very true. north koreans that speak against the regime would be put into labor camps and likely die mysteriously.
Yes.

North Korea is not as hard to get in as U.S. propaganda tells. Just like Mexico and U.S. border. Trucks go in and out between China, North Korea, and South Korea. Western media just over exaggerating their lies to get views. So stupid you pawns are. Bunches of send offs 😂😂😂
I am quite shocked they were able to interview normal civilians.
They interviewed them in peyongyang so they are the "elite" upper class society. They didn't just interview regular Schmegular country side starving people
Or maybe its because NK is not as fucked up as the western media wants us to think?

@@jadedmist Wouldn't it be incredibly rude to waste magic water? I would've asked for a to-go cup.
The North Korean Guide guy literally looked like he wanted to get out of there with you.
or maybe he actually loves his country. I don't know why it's hard for Americans to grasp the fact that maybe North Korean actually love their president.

@@evano5635 are you an idiot? They are brain washed from birth. This might have been the dumbest comment I've seen ever.
Or maybe most of them pretend just to not get thrown in a labor camp.
legend says that the guy who explained everything to sHane Smith dissappeared
except what he explained was still pro-DPRK lol, props for trying to be clever with an old joke
GloomGaiGar i hope no lah
Well, I mean, he gave an explanation that was probably as close to "objective" as he could afford while still not crossing any lines. Kudos to him for walking the thin line!
Hope not. Ge has no idea how much good press he gave to NK by just not being a stiff official zombie.
@@chichim2020 hmmm maybe you are right.......
I can’t believe that they keep letting Shane back in..... Next time they might try to keep him 😳
"Started with the best intention ended poorly" sound like my life right now
That's really how it be most of the time.
I want you in me abel
Oh woe is me
"The military is not as important if you're not at war" US DEFENSE COMITTEE: *THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG KIDDO*
SoapyBanana BECAUSE HE IS LMAO what a weak belief
@Winter Wyvern The is the same reason why NK is not gonna give up their arsenal that easily.
@ The US isn't at perpetual war though???
CedarHunt us is literally in afghanistan, iraq, syria and right now doing some fighting in Africa
@@CedarHunt US is always fighting. Thats what we're good at. About $0.25 of every tax dollar goes to "defense" spending.

@@belladonna1994 You interested?
Im only imagining the look on North Korean people's faces when They get to see The South and it's Developed and Futuristic culture....
It’s replication of the decadent western liberal model? They’d probably be thrilled.
They would think it is too western and lack culture
It’s like they are all living on the Truman show
With no immigration they must all be inbred as well to a certain degree
Truest
@@tonymacaroni8447 A high homogeneous society always outperforms a heterogeneous in every aspect in life, North Korea sure as hell looks clean like Japan or South Korea that doesn't accept immigrants than here in America you got the dirty cities like LA and most of California. At least what is shown in the video
@@alextrust1186 Nah, all we see and all any tourist sees is what they want us to see. if anything immigration boosts a countries economy because of the increased workforce. Using north Korea as a basis on why immigration is a bad thing really isn't a good idea lmao
Same for China , an advanced version of a Truman show.
"for the quote on quote virgins" lmao, after shane was done visiting the place there were no more virgins
This video is so old. Go to Korea military power on youtube and you will see the same clip. I dont know how this guy made himself appear as if he was front and center.
Wait a second... This is an old video?
Thats not happening anyway they hate the whites
is Kim Jong Un the only fat person in North Korea?
(excluding Shane at the time of this being filmed)
possibly 😂😂😂
Him and other top military, because they're the only ones not starving.
@@RockBandRS .. exactly!
Stfu 😡
@@the-real-kimjong-un hey
Shoutout to the camera man who got everything out of focus
How is he stilled allowed into North Korea after all he’s done 😂
averagegamer They want that money
after the cup incident i doubt he'll be back any time soon
What has he done ? Lol
Skillsz Mcclain He did a short documentary on North Korean logging work camps in the Far East of Russia. It didn’t really expose much, but nonetheless bad PR for Russia.
@@m.w.6526 great pr for 4x4 driving none the less
Man how many times has Shane been to NK at this point? Great one btw.
@@Relaxatihon WHUT!?!?
I'm amazed they let him back in
@@Bp323 I actually thought he had been banned since the visit of DPRK officials at the Vice Offices
Do not take a poster off the wall at the hotel.
Oh god it’s the American again, why would he want to come here? - NK border guard
That North Korean guy is a bloody legend, my guy has more than 2 balls if he opened up like that and told the fken truth
@Dumb Genius Guessing the tour guide who mentioned the electric shortages.
I think he now just realized that NK takes things too seriously lol

That "Rocket Man" was so on the beat
😍😍
Rocket man frying pan I will surely bomb Iran 🤣🤣 deadass thought he was gonna rap
Come to think of it, Trump has the perfect voice for a rapper.
@@NastyAngel ._.
and "Dotard" was like hitting a bull in the ass with a banjo!
1:29 I'm amazed how high they can goosestep and not kick the person in front of them.
My legs hurt from watching it
When I was 10th grade, I started attending karate classes, and getting my kick up that high was easy...now I'm in my 40's,and let's just say I discovered I like cake more,lol.
Yeah it's called military training and cadence. Wanna know how they do it? Join the your country's military. Marching in Cadence is a major part of military training. This is to instill unity and chemistry in a group of soldiers.
They are kicking each other's butts to encourage them to stay in line
@@sneekibreeki8162 cadence feels good honestly. Sometimes when I'm walking, I still count my steps with a voice in my head going "Left, Left, Left, Right, Left."
The officials are begging for peace, you can see it in their eyes
that's not the way how you should think!
rather peace is necessary for the world 🙂
don't underestimate their desire for peace-keeping
It’s kinda sad can you really hate a country for wanting to be great like all the others hope this conflict gets better because the will lose if war ever breaks out
@@advilpm359 but they have dumb laws and an antiquated system that depends on the GLORIOUS SOVIET UNION which collapsed decades ago.
@@tawseeftaher4446 yep

Look at North Korean Guide's face at 9:07 , when he said Military is not important ! 😆

ahahahaha omg good comment
Ohhhh you beat me to it I noticed this too mentioned it in a comment then scrolled down and saw yours but yeah it is scary.
@Ano Nymous that's probably what he was doing
hahaha
lmao
They march so perfectly that u can get like 10 kills with one shot
snipers dream
@God does this mean you are a cod fan and in pro league
Not funny
Henrietta who asked?
Ok god calm down 🙄
Holy shit the photography! Give the camera man a raise.
It's not entirely the cameraman. In North Korea photos or videos of specific landmarks have to be done a certain way, your micromanaged by your NK travel host on exactly where you can stand and how much you are allowed to photograph. A statue for instance would have to filmed in it's entirety, absolutely no cropping allowed, you either get the whole statue or you don't photograph it.
3:32 rocket man was synched to the beat
wait whoa lol
that was a jam
Rocket man do do doooo
😂💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm getting old Vice News vibes seeing Shane haha.
And were loving it!!
@@Blaytonj yes, indeed!
9:00: This man just started questioning a bunch of things lol. His silence says a lot.
it almost looks like thought! he was legit thinking about what he was saying. He even responded, maybe. (with terms but it was still a maybe)
Xanider yes! You can see the wheels start turning in his head. Like “uh, I never thought of that...”
Yup. I noticed that too. then searched for the 1st person in comments to mention it. I saw that in his expression to. he was re evaluating a great deal at that moment.
westerners always mistake silence for submission or discomfort
in asia, people actually think before they speak
i laughed so hard at that part lmaoo it looked so awkward
