- My military minder tells me to turn my camera off and it soon becomes clear why.
The poverty I see through the bus window is not the view of North Korea the regime wants to be seen. We are traveling from Hyangsan, three hours north of Pyongyang back to the capital but the main road and the sanctioned route has been flooded. This is the only way back.
Buildings are in disrepair, some barely look inhabitable.
Residents of this small town walk or sit by the side of the road, many seeming to have little to do. A number of official-looking men dressed in brown Mao suits stand silently on street corners. It is impossible to know who they are or which element of the party or military they might work for but they clearly seem to be observing.
Despite the driver traveling as quickly as possible through these inhabited areas, you could still sense the local community being monitored.
Dozens of men are working on the outskirts of town, building a stone wall between their crops and the swollen river.
Boulders and stones are carried by hand and stacked without adhesive. This intensive labor force is seen repeatedly in the North Korean countryside, but I see no heavy equipment to help building or farming.
One man trims hedges with a rusty scythe, other men repair part of the pavement with small hand held pick axes.
Cars are rare, most people either walk or cycle.
"Can't afford"
More like not allowed to afford.
same thing about the North Koreans who "can't eat".
Fake news!
they are allowed to afford, though if they want to buy a car they must ask permission from the government
things are a little better in north korea you dont hear anyone say that but i see it maybe its a trend that will continue

China is just as bad. You do everything too to hide what others are not supposed to see, and kill people for being against the government. And you steal products from other countries and make cheap illegal copies of them, which doesn't bother you one bit.

Around 70% of the world's population is a lot poorer than this. It's ridiculous how western media always try to protray NK as one of the worst places on earth.

For those who dont know why koreans cant afford cars. Its because west sanctions for 70 or so years. No imports no exports, no visas to leave kore, no jobs for koreans in west... economy cripling sanctions that hurts ppl and then blocking them to come to the west and find better life... cars is lucury because they are not alowed to import any

0:56 I AM an engineer and I can tell you that normal countries don't just pour a few inches of asphalt on top of dirt to make a road. You're supposed to have gravel and stuff under the road for additional stability, not to mention making a concrete or brick retaining wall so that the river does not erode the dirt. The civil engineers in the DPRK are either undereducated, underfunded, or uncaring; likely all three.

While I agree with the majority of the conclusions drawn, notice how accustomed we are to biased reporting. Surely, we would never cast doubt on a reporting like this, but even in here there are so many pro-Western biases shining through. The title of the video is fringe clickbait: "The North Korea I wasn't meant to see", yet the only thing you showed us that was "the real North Korea" was a man bathing in the river. How disturbing! The reporter even admits to not being able to see much, so what's the significance of the title? It promises something you can't get. It's inherently negative. Oddities are presented under a negative light as if they are exclusive to North Korea, such as not having stable access to water/clean water, yet we try and forget Flint, Michigan here in the US.
My point isn't that anything in this video wasn't outright wrong, but if you look hard, you can really see the biases that we're bringing with us when talking about North Korea, and furthermore, you can see just how much we're used to it. Most people watching this probably don't even realize. If our innate bias to present anything related to North Korea as malignant and evil is this rooted in the media we consume about it, how much more/less brainwashed are we than them?
Well said. They are showing poverty which is everywhere in the imperalized global south. These conditions are created and maintained by western imperialists and capitalists
My man.
I think that's it's much less about the poverty/poor infrastructure and more the lengths the government goes to convince the world that its citizens are not in a living hell. But even in this one video you see that their roads have little to no thought put into them, the reporter mentions that the water wasn't running consistently, and filming is actively silenced. Did you know that in 2016 an American tourist named Otto Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years in prison just for taking a propaganda sign? He ended up being sent out of the country in a coma, completely blind and deaf with misaligned teeth, and died days later. The North Koreans said he contracted botulism, which US physicians could not find any traces of. If you don't have some implicit bias towards North Korea, that's your choice. But there is grounds for it.
As for the Flint situation, it's not that it was purposefully hushed up, rather that the nation moved on. Unless you're a die-hard Flint fan, there's no reason to write about the boring side of litigation, although you can still find articles being written about it. Hopefully there will be some good press when the whole situation is finally resolved, but the $641 million settlement was approved for Flint residents, the people that caused it(including Snyder) are being charged for their crimes, and more than 10,000 pipes have already been replaced.
@@mistermann3455 I don't think his point is that North Korea is a good country. I think its more that he's more pointing to underlying biases inherent in much of western reporting which subconsciously push us towards a forming a view of a country (or a community) that may be very uninformed to push a certain perspective that the media wants to push.
But, I probably shouldn't speak for him.
@@lagtowns But what I'm trying to get at here is that the media *is* informed. There is credible evidence that the North Korean government is trying(and failing, by the looks of this video) to keep quiet that their country is suffering under the mask of "the purest race". It is true there are factors in western reporting that affect how neutral it truly is. But the reason a man bathing in the river is a point of interest is because the North Korean government previously denied that their citizens lived like that. This is not an example of representing them in a purposefully bad light, they dug their own grave.

Well, live in Colombia seems akwardly similar to that shown on the video. People wash clothes in the river sometimes, goes fishing and a very typical activity is go cooking on the river. Also a lot of people walks in rural areas. The problems with roads is so so common that are expected. I have to deal with dangerous roads to go to my workplace. North Korea is not portrayed in this video as a hell spot, at least no until you listen the woman who admits only to be describing what she think it is watching on the window.

In Colombia you have freedom so other options if you desire, but in North Korea there are no options of anything.
Saying that, here in Mexico there's also people fishing for food in not very healthy places and people washing clothes in a river, and roads destroyed by storms, even the people working the fields with manual labor haha (electric shortages are not common though).

But I am just hoping one day north and south Korea will reunite and live fair and square... South Korea is living peacefully while north Koreans don't get freedom and don't get treated properly by the government.
that will not happen if kim dosent get assasinated
Youre propaganda
Wasn't there a summit back in june which increased a chance of peace?
@@PateRiot only chance has increasd is North takeover
that summit is show for Press and media
we south koreans seeing that from the Beginning of north
South have two type of politician
one is keeping north Alive(민주당계열) and Other one want north Regime fall(보수당계열)
Current President moon(민주당) is fulliy commitied in Sunshine policy
i think Sunshine policy is a bullshit
in 20 years we give money/food to north and still wont give up their nuclear missiles
Clinton should bombed 영변 Nuclear facility in 1994
It did happen, all thanks to trump
That road had about 4 inch of asphalt
Do you even know how small 4 inches is?
I meant 4 inches deep
Schindlers fist Was it too thick or too thin in your opinion?
Viininpunainen huppari Thin
Schindlers fist xD how thick it is in your country? Or have you even ever seen how thick it should be? I know because in my country we have cold winters and they cause cracks in asphalt
Is this a repost? But this channel really have good contents in it, too bad the last vid is from 8yrs ago :(
Didn't see anything in this video that i couldn't have filmed here in the UK or indeed in the US.
to be fair that footage could just as easily have been typical Chinese countryside. . only cleaner water and air.
+Daniel Tynan could have been typical countryside in most countries in the world
+Hatsune Miku He said COULD HAVE...
+Jonny Kong Bar the western world (mostly).
+Jonny Kong No you NEVER see people washing their clothes in the river in my country.
+Martin Skjøtt I have never seen anywhere in the 'western' world where that happens. Rivers and lakes are usually polluted with fertilizers, and clean water isn't difficult to get. Farm equipment is cheap and readily available... The only place I consider to be absolutely impoverished are in localized areas in the U.S., mainly the South West (around the Mexican boarder and Native American reserves). I'd like to point out that many of the areas are impoverished due to, well, stubbornness; particularly from Native Americans. I don't like it but you can't forcefully help someone against their will.
That's not to say I think everyone is like that, I'm saying that a substantial amount are like that.
Don’t understand how Kim can’t feel some type of way seeing his children like this. Like even Cartel bosses don’t do this to their people.
It is hard to believe and accept, but unfortunately alot of the people in power couldn't give less of a shit about anyone but themselves and those they care about...There seems to be no empathy.
Most people get to power by taking out what ever and who ever gets in their way..and they don't feel remorseful because that would just be a distraction from their goal.
Im sure Kim is fully aware of what's going on, but he doesn't care.
I'd give anything to help these people, and it is sad to know that the person who can, doesn't care. It sucks but it's just the way it is unfortunately 😕
It hurts to see them suffer
Its not like thats happening to them because of sanctions but only due to regime. The regime will never change by sanctions but diplomacy as shown by trump who actually got NK on nego table
Power does something to people. It somehow makes you less human.
@@Meteorknite Is that the way? I'm not convinced, Kim wants his privileges to endure
How did you manage to keep this footage? I thought the North Korean military didn’t allow filming?
You can only film certain areas. There is strict rules on filming
1:02 I've seen a road somewhat like this in the middle of Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
“Boy I sure wonder how we could improve our world image, guess we’ll never know.”
*Spends all of the countries money on nukes*
If he didn't they would get some 'freedom and democracy' asap and then the entire country would be stripped of resources and there would be civil war for the next 5 decades or something.
literally the US as well, except it's not nukes, it's other kinds of weapons and military expenditures
I mean they clearly dont give a shit about their public image cause they know its not going to recover well. Best to spend that money at a place so that no one can attack you, cause you have nukes.
@Rami Runner I kind of disagree, it's very obvious north korea has only not been invaded because of missiles and nukes and the united states is one of the most hostile and least peaceful foreign policy wise in the world.
Favoring the killing of civilians, resource extraction and worse, most country's have a right to be wary of the us.
@Rami Runner I included and missles, not just nukes, I'm not a moron.
I love this trailer of the first hunger game movie
Alex lol
Fuck
Hell Dragon Gaming Dude calm the fuck down it's just a joke
XD
Do you not get the joke
8 years ago, I was going to say- it’s been a long time since FNN did any real journalism.
That major road being less than two inches thick is crazy
So she went there for a three minute video?
bananarama9000 Obviously the North Koreans removed parts of the original video.
lol Too funny. Intidings link has more of North Korea, very interesting too.
+Mubarak X "Obviously"
So what? That doesn't explain why the video is so short.
+bananarama9000 It's short because they only wanted to show you the things that suited their own agenda.
All we see is literally the same thing you see across the Asian world. This is nothing more than propaganda.
“We drove along this bridge very slowly. It collapses the very next day,”
ANXIETY LEVELS INCREASED TO 100
Wouldn't driving fast be putting less weight on it? 🤔
@@vinny1883 no. because the bridge is buckled, you're putting more stress on the bridge and for shorter amounts of time. it's like a knife; knives cut things because the material they cut cannot withstand those large amounts of force concentrated on such a small surface area.
driving quickly over a buckled bridge might be faster, but what happens when the bus goes down a slope and then suddenly has to go up? it bounces, and for that short moment, the stress on that part of the bridge is massively increased, which is the opposite of what you want when you're driving over a bridge that might collapse at any moment.

Oh wow so crazy that poverty. I wonder what would she think about taking a ride on the streets of California with those luxurious tarps and people enjoying those succulent meals out of garbage bins
So they can save their money and use it on drugs? The homeless in California have it pretty good, the system is there to support them if they want to get off the street and stop doing drugs.
cameraman always makes it out alive
She said “crudely made net” at a perfectly normal net it was just a 2 person net being used by 1 person…
Would be better off taking a piece of bamboo and some string and making a fucking hook out of a nail if need be
@shbang It is, but from both sides one trying to portray it as bad and the other as good.
It's a poor country and there was a lot of rain. What's so crazy about this piece?
@shbang Yeah well it's not exactly hard to make NK look bad lol
Are you the new CNN net correspondent for South East Asia? 😁
that road is almost entirely aesthetic, just asphalt on top of mud
When you only have enough gas to drive a handful of vehicles over it every day, thats good enough for a while
@@FerdinandFakeaye until it rains
The thumbnail looks like it would be a great painting though!
Looking at those school children makes me realize just how many people actually live there.
"and tells me to stop filming." Yeah, tbh I think I would do the same if a stranger was recording some random dude taking a bath in the river lol
Ikr
right 😭😭 i know north korea is crazy but he’s still a person
@@irgendeinname9256 You say that, but recording some random dude bathing is kind of a breach of privacy. And if I was a security officer, confronting someone like that would be part of my responsibility. Though, I don't think North Korea gives a shit about citizen privacy lol.
Yeah well you're normally allowed to use a camera in public.
@@own4801 how do you know this was in public?
As a Latinamerican I can relate with all of those situations: bad roads, power outages, people washing and bathing in rivers etc.
India is also spoiled due to corruption,politics and police. There ain't any strong rules.
@@luxinvictus9018
>It's a country with nukes that does not adhere to the UN nor any international law
Why should they? The U.N is a puppet organization of the U.S which is they were allowed to invade Iraq in spite of it being deemed illegal by the U.N security council.
Also, what's wrong with them owning nukes? They clearly saw what happened to Libya and Iraq when they gave up their weapons programs and thus wished to not suffer the same fate.
@@leroybrown5048 I guess I didn’t use the right word. Sorry, English is not my first language. Will bathing make more sense?

I’d rather be the leader of any country who’s a puppet of the United States, rather than be a country who excludes themselves away from the US.

All “puppets” of the United States, yet all their countries are thriving and prosperous.
Sure, the US won’t allow them to reach its level, but their levels aren’t trash at all.
No human being deserves to live in a place like that.
Nicely done curb though!
Hey North Koreans!! You outta come to Detroit!!
+Roy Jiminez Ought to*
+General Belisarius ought to** try harder
itachi5500s Fucking damn it.
+Roy Jiminez Get oughta here.
In the movie Amazon Women on the Moon, 'A Fist Full of Yen' sketch, an evil Nina Overlord sentences a man to be banished to Detroit. The terrifying words "take him to Detroit!" renders the victim in horror! "NO!!!!!!! NOT Detroit!"
I know someone who went to North Korea (U.N) and stopped their driver to help a cyclist injured by the side of the road (everyone was ignoring him).
The driver was scared to stop but did, the cyclist was taken to a nearby hospital.
Then the security agency showed up at the guys hotel and interviewed him for 3 hours;
'why did you stop?' ...
'how did you know the injured man?'
'Why would you help a stranger? Were you trying to recruit him?'
'what did the injured man say to you?'
and on and on...
Eventually they left....and seemingly unsure what to do...or embarrassed...they came back a couple days later and gave the guy a medal for bravery lol...pretending that was the reason for the initial interrogation.
true story
Bruh
so they gave the person who helped a medal... that's the moral of your story. you know if you report a crime in USA the police ask you questions too, right? they'll ask you why you were there, what you were doing, if you knew the victim personally, what you talked to the victim about, ask to see your ID, etc, and then they don't give you a medal for helping.
@@llamawalrushybrid if you are at a crime scene when police arrive, they'll ask you questions especially if the victim can't speak for themselves. if you're spotted interfering with a crime scene or the victim, you're a suspect. if you flee the scene after interfering, they'll probably follow you since the victim couldn't clear you. its just standard procedure for cops regardless of the country. they would be bad cops if they just ignored you dropping off a severely injured person.
@@rumfordc okay you've defended North Korea enough, heres your paycheck for propaganda
@@lunalowlight470 yep, saying they have cops doing what cops do is "defending" them alright. give me my medal now.
Honestly I'm amazed they even let them in those places knowing there's heavy rains and the roads might be destroyed or what. They do have weather forecasting in North Korea right?
Watch it without sound and you will see a father having a good time fishing with his son, beautiful scenery and one road which was hit by a flood. I have traveled to different asian countries and pictures of people washing their clothes in the next river is totally common in rural areas.
The only positive I can see in this footage is that it seems the natural environment is mostly untouched. The mountains and fields are full of trees.
Trees are not an indicator of untouched environment lol
@@crazydragy4233 Yeah, in Northern Idaho around Wallace there's a bunch of trees. But photos from 100 years ago show the hills clear cut from logging. Also there's a bunch of trees in Quintana Roo, Mexico, but if you go back to the Mayan age all those trees would be corn crops and market places instead.
It's like hunger games "panem". Capitol is good and prosperity unlike the districts.
Just like hunger games
M Nur Hambali in North Korea not even the capital is prosperous, just the elites get to eat three meals a day ad have internet access

Plot twist - This is actually a backup fake North Korea and you have to get past a second set of obstacles to see the real North Korea
This but unironically

Ah yes, the real Korea : *West Korea*

It's not actually a joke sadly
it's amazing how one family get to decide millions fate of others
Amazingly terrifying
Human history in a nutshell
I can assure you Queen Elizabeth really isn't that bad

Yet there is one family that gets to decide the fate of billions, but yet nobody cares or know..
I don't know about BBC or whatever channel this is but I've spent a long time In Asia and I've seen people bathing and washing their clothes in rivers in almost every asian country
Looks dope, but if I move there will I be able to find work?
