Well, you can visit it and leave it alive as a tourist. But you have to be careful to not break any rules and you can only explore with a travel guide. The other question however would be, if you'd like giving money to this state by doing so.
I spent two months in the DPRK in 2005. We traveled from Pyongyang to Wonsan to Hamhung up to the Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir. We then left by driving all the way down to Panmunjom and into SK. The DPRK is the most destitute place with the most miserable looking people I have ever seen anywhere in the world. You could see the misery on most every face in every town along our travels. Wonsan was completely without power at night and at a resort in Hamhung we had hot water for one hour a day. There were very few vehicles anywhere, even in Pyongyang. The propaganda machine is hard at work in the DPRK.
Why were you there for 2 months? I've never heard of someone who went there for more than a week who wasn't a north Korean defector so I'm really surprised you were there for so long

The food videos remind me of how East Germany when Berlin had the wall, had shops showing fake food to make it look like the shops were full with produce.
Those stores would be for the elite and foreigners. By all accounts there are no shops in North Korea. People are given rations. Unless you can pay on the black market.

There is also a S&T K11 clone which maybe an expert can explain more, I can't find anything regarding it.
You can travel to NK or watch travel vlogs. To build a picture on your own. But if you travel there you need to know that you help them to finance their military…
@@vini-York_Oxmall Pretty sure all of the tours in NK are run by the state so you only see whitewashed, sanitized locations specifically built for tourists rather than what the country is actually like.
We live in an age where propaganda is, probably, the most dangerous it could be. Considering how fast information online spreads, some people could’ve thought that these videos were legitimate if they didn’t know any better.
Once Red Velvet a kpop group had preformed in north korea Kim Jong-un was there too and the whole audience was completely emotionless they only clapped at the end
@@AxlVdriel-op7oy Ah yes, living in a country with 70 percent poverty and getting generations of famliys killed for just one person wrongdoing is such a great place to live, and being able to watch constant propaganda shows that are on the tvs while also having no connection with the outside.
North Korea gave up on reunification earlier this year. It's actually only South Korea that wants to unify the two countries now (this is the goals of the governments, not what the actual citizens think), so the idea that North Korea wants to take over and basically remove South Korea is just not true. I really think there is a huge issue with what people consider propaganda. DPRK is obviously absurdly propagandist, but basically everything anyone has heard about North Korea from sources outside DPRK are also propaganda. A lot of people seem to think that propaganda doesn't exist in the west.
Not really. Foreigners are tightly controlled in North Korea. Assigned regime minders. Restricted in where they can go and who they can talk to. And that is usually what's reported on. In North Korea, there is only one voice. In the West, there are many.
I saw some saying "omg I wanna go to North Korea to serve my lord and savior Kim Jong un!!! I'm on my way to make my own propaganda content for our lord and savior" We have to save the children from this fate 😢😢😢😢😢
I found this channel recently and these videos are so well made. Hoping you continue to grow! Can I make a request for better ending bumpers? I noticed many of the videos feel like they end mid paragraph, I often listen while I'm walking and don't realize the video ended . A "thanks for watching fern" or sound effect would be very welcome and might add some brand identity. Keep up the good work!
"Anyone duped by these videos can probably spend some time improving their critical thinking skills" is the best opening to an ad read I've ever heard lmao
Zoe used to be a friend of mine. But she turned more and more extreme. Finally unfollowed and stopped all contact with her. It's just appealing to see how some people genuinely seem to believe the lies these governments spread.
I remember a Tumblr post about a girl’s best friend who had a British accent despite neither parent being British. Turns out the parents spoke with a fake British accent around their daughter because that’s how they wanted her to speak. It’s the equivalent of parents teaching their kids to speak with a Trans-Atlantic accent during the 1930s and 1940s (basically a hybrid of a British and English accent).
Hi! Zoe Discovers here from the channel you feature. Firstly, let me outline the aim of my channel which you seem to have missed. It is not 'North Korean propaganda' but rather aims to expand the North Korean narrative by showing a different side than what the main stream media shows. The mainstream media might not be wrong, bt it does not show the full and representative picture. I show one side, they show the other. This way, people can gain a fuller picture. Sure, it is propaganda if you want to see it that way. In the same way a travel influencer showing only the good sides of the US or Bali is, too. But no one calls them out for that. Sure, I understand North Korea is incomparable, but we should ask ourselves why we are so adverse and unbelieving to seeing this 'other side' of North Korea that is indeed real and not fake. You mention that you were 'unable to verify' if I have any government affiliations or if I receive money from the government. Well, you could have tried asking for starters instead of further spreading this misinformation. I can verify it for you here; I do not, have never, and will never have any connection, monetary or otherwise, with the North Korean government. I work with Koryo Tours and the North Korean tour company directly for tourism purposes only. Furthermore, in the future, if you wish to use my content, or wish to have an interview, please ask. I have never received money for people using my content and never charge to be interviewed. I rarely reject requests. Thank you.
The leaders of USA and Bali are democratically elected tho. That's the difference. Hence why people don't consider videos showing the beauty of those places as propaganda.
@@jxxxxx44well, first of all, Bali does not have separate government, as it is a province of Indonesia. The last presidential election of Indonesia went hand in hand with patronage politics and benefits of president Prabowo. If you name the US presidential politics as democracy, I am afraid that the US do not know the meaning of the “democracy” anymore. Above-mentioned channel shows different parts of North Korea, as it does BBC documentaries.
@@jxxxxx44 the same way the are elected in NK, the Kin family has been elected over and over due to the history of NK formation as a country and many other political, social and historical reasons, there are more than one party at the electoral system in NK and they do have representation there, it's like looking at the US and saying that because only the democrats or republicans rule, it's also a dictatorship, does that make any sense? Where is the representation for the other parties? See where I'm going with this line of thought? Also, next time you see some news regarding NK check if the source is from Radio Free Asia, they are sponsored by the CIA and the US government and this is no conspiracy so take from that information what you will, they are open about it also; like she said in the comment, it may be propaganda if you are willing to see it as that, but why does this kind bothers people so much while the image of a perfect country is A-OK for other places?

There's a Russian TH-camr who worked for a journalism company, who recorded and made it out of NK with a lot of footage. Highly recommend watching it.
What's the name
Name?
channel name?
"highly recommend!!" but doesn't tell us who it is?
@@iishiir I think he's referring to Anton Lyadov, "The People". He made a documentary on it a few years back.
1:29 banana 🗿
I was afraid to ever set foot in North Korea before, but now that I've heard they have banana I'm starting to consider a vacation...
This reminds me of the quote "Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us."
Fern, please, make a feature length video. I could watch your content all day!
Where can I see her videos? can't find them anywhere
I feel like Fern is such a official channel type feel so having their narrator say banana like that got me
This all feels like a dystopian universe that has me questioning whether the North Koreans are real people or just robots-
zombies
The shader on that phone screen is incredible
That's what you call attention to detail
Video starts 3:34. You're welcome.
no it doesn't, it starts at 0:00
thank you
She has no soul in her eyes.
Dehumanizing a little girl for being North Korean is evil.
neither do you
Interesting how North Korean Influencers show one city, and expect intellectuals to think that it represents the entire country.
“Oh how I wish I could stay here and play all day”😂
lost it at "and even... banana" 8:10 lmao
I know the kombination of simpli and hoog is great and good told stories combined with beautiful animations but over a million subscribers at 30 Videos? damn i didnt expect that especially considering the fate of "The luxurist" and "Educave"
they probably get paid from doing this or are forced. it’s sad
When a person is always happy, something's wrong. She seems happy all the time and she is pushing positivity all the way through. No inconsistencies whatsoever
lol that's what social media 'influencers' do
If anyone's interested, those rifles they use in their parades is their pride, the Type 88-1, a clone of AK-74. Its recognizable from the AK 74 frame and hollow (likely to cut cost) side folding stock. There is also a newer Type 88-2, with a 75-round helical magazine and top folding stock. There is also a S&T K11 clone which maybe an expert can explain more, I can't find anything regarding it.
Sad, that this seems like the only way to get a inside look into North Korea
You can travel to NK or watch travel vlogs. To build a picture on your own. But if you travel there you need to know that you help them to finance their military…
theres also guy from scandinavia who went and did all that and then went even deeper looking into stuff like arms manufacturing etc
@@vini-York_Oxmall Pretty sure all of the tours in NK are run by the state so you only see whitewashed, sanitized locations specifically built for tourists rather than what the country is actually like.
@@coobk I know, hasn’t simplicissimus even made a video about that
@@vini-York_Oxmallyou get a guided tour where they only show you the good parts like the main city and nice landscapes
We live in an age where propaganda is, probably, the most dangerous it could be. Considering how fast information online spreads, some people could’ve thought that these videos were legitimate if they didn’t know any better.
I like, how you adopted the joke with the bananas from the German video.
Once Red Velvet a kpop group had preformed in north korea Kim Jong-un was there too and the whole audience was completely emotionless they only clapped at the end
imagine being so mysterious and infamous of a country that someone has spent his life studying it
When a banana is a flex. 😭😭😭
What a dystopian place to live in, I bet most people there don't know anything about the outside world
Eh idk, don’t think it’s that bad
@@AxlVdriel-op7oy Ah yes, living in a country with 70 percent poverty and getting generations of famliys killed for just one person wrongdoing is such a great place to live, and being able to watch constant propaganda shows that are on the tvs while also having no connection with the outside.
Not too different to most Americans hahah
@@yodukenukem We just gonna do sterotypes huh?
Crazy that y'all are over 1 million. Been here since 10k.
Here's to 2 million!!
North Korea gave up on reunification earlier this year. It's actually only South Korea that wants to unify the two countries now (this is the goals of the governments, not what the actual citizens think), so the idea that North Korea wants to take over and basically remove South Korea is just not true.
I really think there is a huge issue with what people consider propaganda. DPRK is obviously absurdly propagandist, but basically everything anyone has heard about North Korea from sources outside DPRK are also propaganda. A lot of people seem to think that propaganda doesn't exist in the west.
Not really. Foreigners are tightly controlled in North Korea. Assigned regime minders. Restricted in where they can go and who they can talk to. And that is usually what's reported on. In North Korea, there is only one voice. In the West, there are many.
my friend’s sister’s friend’s mom did not have a good life in North Korea her parents left her on the streets😭
1:40 "All North Koreans have cars"
bruh
Bro she went to my friends school when she lived in the UK.
What was she like?
@@jesseincognito. I'm not quite sure, she only stayed for a few months I believe
@@Henry-rm2gv interesting
Propaganda in Western societies is more widespread but more complicated and delicate than the less-developed countries.
The only comments I saw on those Nort Korea videos were "yo dudes, the empire is pretty chill, maybe you could like join it or something"
I saw some saying "omg I wanna go to North Korea to serve my lord and savior Kim Jong un!!! I'm on my way to make my own propaganda content for our lord and savior"
We have to save the children from this fate 😢😢😢😢😢
Okay, maybe most of them don't have moneyinternet access or freedom, but in probably one shop in country they have BANANAS
babe wake up fern has just uploaded
Yo you video graphics are getting crazy video by video good job man keep it up
I found this channel recently and these videos are so well made. Hoping you continue to grow! Can I make a request for better ending bumpers? I noticed many of the videos feel like they end mid paragraph, I often listen while I'm walking and don't realize the video ended . A "thanks for watching fern" or sound effect would be very welcome and might add some brand identity. Keep up the good work!
"Anyone duped by these videos can probably spend some time improving their critical thinking skills" is the best opening to an ad read I've ever heard lmao
2:30 the voice crack
I dont think so? Sound normal
The transition to the ad got me dying 💀
Getting videos from Fern, Neo and Lemmino over the span of 2 days is crazyyy!! Love the content💙
Wait until spectacles drops sm
"Everything is under control and it's just fine" "There's no war in Ba Sing Se"
Miniature Joo dee ahh
Zoe used to be a friend of mine. But she turned more and more extreme. Finally unfollowed and stopped all contact with her. It's just appealing to see how some people genuinely seem to believe the lies these governments spread.
I remember a Tumblr post about a girl’s best friend who had a British accent despite neither parent being British. Turns out the parents spoke with a fake British accent around their daughter because that’s how they wanted her to speak.
It’s the equivalent of parents teaching their kids to speak with a Trans-Atlantic accent during the 1930s and 1940s (basically a hybrid of a British and English accent).
"Hey dudes! The empire is pretty chill! Maybe you could like join it or something"
Hi! Zoe Discovers here from the channel you feature.
Firstly, let me outline the aim of my channel which you seem to have missed. It is not 'North Korean propaganda' but rather aims to expand the North Korean narrative by showing a different side than what the main stream media shows. The mainstream media might not be wrong, bt it does not show the full and representative picture. I show one side, they show the other. This way, people can gain a fuller picture.
Sure, it is propaganda if you want to see it that way. In the same way a travel influencer showing only the good sides of the US or Bali is, too. But no one calls them out for that. Sure, I understand North Korea is incomparable, but we should ask ourselves why we are so adverse and unbelieving to seeing this 'other side' of North Korea that is indeed real and not fake.
You mention that you were 'unable to verify' if I have any government affiliations or if I receive money from the government. Well, you could have tried asking for starters instead of further spreading this misinformation. I can verify it for you here; I do not, have never, and will never have any connection, monetary or otherwise, with the North Korean government. I work with Koryo Tours and the North Korean tour company directly for tourism purposes only.
Furthermore, in the future, if you wish to use my content, or wish to have an interview, please ask. I have never received money for people using my content and never charge to be interviewed. I rarely reject requests. Thank you.
The leaders of USA and Bali are democratically elected tho. That's the difference. Hence why people don't consider videos showing the beauty of those places as propaganda.
Stay strong Zoe!
@@jxxxxx44You know that democratically elected governments can use propaganda too, right ??
@@jxxxxx44well, first of all, Bali does not have separate government, as it is a province of Indonesia. The last presidential election of Indonesia went hand in hand with patronage politics and benefits of president Prabowo. If you name the US presidential politics as democracy, I am afraid that the US do not know the meaning of the “democracy” anymore.
Above-mentioned channel shows different parts of North Korea, as it does BBC documentaries.
@@jxxxxx44 the same way the are elected in NK, the Kin family has been elected over and over due to the history of NK formation as a country and many other political, social and historical reasons, there are more than one party at the electoral system in NK and they do have representation there, it's like looking at the US and saying that because only the democrats or republicans rule, it's also a dictatorship, does that make any sense? Where is the representation for the other parties? See where I'm going with this line of thought? Also, next time you see some news regarding NK check if the source is from Radio Free Asia, they are sponsored by the CIA and the US government and this is no conspiracy so take from that information what you will, they are open about it also; like she said in the comment, it may be propaganda if you are willing to see it as that, but why does this kind bothers people so much while the image of a perfect country is A-OK for other places?
It’s like they don’t realize all us free people, with internet and the ability to travel, know what a real booming and happy country looks like.
'All north koreans have cars' that's why this road's completely empty....
Watching this asa south korean just makes me depressed
watching this as a brazilian makes me so wet
watching this as a brazilian make me so hard
did you get any warnings for watching this video?
@@tiarabite not really i mean this aint exactly ’propaganda’ content
