  • Life in North Korea is kind of a mystery. Kim Jong-un is very restrictive on what can be shared with the rest of the world, so true information is difficult to find, but we did our best to dig up what life is like living in North Korea in this animated documentary.

      You're not wrong. Economically and logistically, N.K. couldn't maintain a prolonged war with any of the worlds greater powers. Especially if China strait up cuts them off. But having such a large standing army means they can't be threatened easily in the short term ether. You couldn't just wander in and take the place over. I don't think any sane power would even try that. Up front losses would be prohibitive. It'd be far smarter to just blockade the country out. Their navy isn't nearly as impressive as their standing army. The sad reality of doing that would be untold civilian suffering.
      Apart from that. The military is more about parading N.K. nationalism. The narrative that's been preached since the beginning is that N.K. needs no one and that nobody else compares. Having a huge army to show off feels powerful.

    Barbara Demick’s book “Nothing to Envy” is a beautifully written narrative of the experiences of about 6 North Korean escapees who were able to get to Korea, mostly in the 1990s/early 2000s. It is their stories, told to Demick who was the LA Times S. Korea correspondent for many years. It is really moving and paints a vivid, but not sensationalized, picture of the experiences of these people…different social classes, but all from the same area (very close to the China border) and the price they also had to pay for leaving. One thing left out of this documentary was that many, many women who escaped into China were s*x trafficked, and that is a terrible tragedy. I believe it is quite difficult for the average person to get out of N. Korea now as China has stiffened up the guarding of the border, and there are very few refugees getting to South Korea. Keep in mind, that China deports all North Koreans back to North Korea if they are caught, hence the complicated, dangerous and expensive ways to escape and get to a S. Korean embassy. My best wishes for the people of N. Korea to live in freedom.

      Nah man, those people never lived a real life. They think that's happiness. Some people who escaped say that in North Korea you had less preoccupations. Your main cocern is to stay alive, all the other things don't really matter. They grow up thinking theirs is the best country of all and some families with escapee children don't believe their kids on their stories about the outside world. They just can't think anything but "how lucky I am to live here". It's so sad.
