France's 3-0 victory against Brasil in 1998 is still legendary for this reason). I'm sure they'll be doing the same with the 2024 summer olympics in Paris since they're even scheduled to compete

    I was curious so looked up Jongun's mother. Having studied a lot of Korean history, this was the first time I've heard his mother was Japanese. Her name is Ko Yonghui and she was born to a Korean father in Osaka, Japan. This isn't unusual, the Japanese army moved Koreans all over the place so there are Korean descendants in Japan and Uzbekistan. Her mother is supposedly Japanese but I can't find a name. Her father, reportedly Ko Gyontaek. Worked in a sewing factory run by Japan's ministry of war so that definitely didn't win her any points either, whether her father was forced or had no other options or not.
    I'm just surprised Kim Ilsung didn't arrange for something tragic to happen to her before she started popping out babies...It isn't like she gave birth to his first grandkids, Kim Jong IL had other children

    The saddest part about this is that there are people here in the west who see the authoritarian dystopia in North Korea and other communist countries both contemporary and historical and think "that's what we need here". Utter madness.

    On the subject of haircuts a while ago a barber in I believe London put up an ad for his business taking the mickey out of Kim Jong Un's haircut. Soon after he was visited by two men from the Korean Embassy demanding he take it down or they'd have him arrested for disrespecting the dear leader. The barber told them to take a hike which eventually they did and presumably later they called the police who presumably also told them to take a hike. While that story is funny to me it also sums up just how consumed by propaganda they are that these guys thought they could walk up to a business in a foreign country and start throwing their weight around. Must have been a shock to the system for the two "officials" when they didn't get there way and I can't imagine it was any fun explaining it to their bosses.

Some of North Korea's paranoia has roots, in the end leaving no party involved blameless.

    When governments/regulations starts to get too intrusive, it gets sad long before it gets funny, in Japan most of the schools have strict code of appearance that includes clothing and hair color and student underwear color, one girl with naturally brown hair was forced by the school to dye her hair black as per the dress code, that caused a chemical burn on the head, the parents sued the school, but nothing came of it as the court in regards to the school rules, however the girl was awarded some compensation.

    about birthdays used for calendar, in Japan they still use different years based on eras of each emperor's reign while also using the "western" calendar years, and celebrate currently reigning emperor's birthday as a public holiday - of which there can't be enough of, as people are still reluctant to use their actual holiday days and work really hard.
    tho, reigning years is more of a tradition and after wwii monarchy in Japan is more symbolic, and in contrast, in N Korea it's a cult of personality, which, from my "western" pov, is not very admirable.

    Yup, this is what happens to a country when you let one person, group, etc, rule with all power. The people suffer, you either gover yourself so you have freedom. Or you're a slave, kinda simple, really. Wish more people understood this, vote for yourself, and care about who runs the ship or else the "captain" might toss you off the "ship." Places like North Korea will get overthrown one day when someone is born who is more than happy to die to be free, but by some miracle simply doesn't die and builds a very angry army. On a day like that, it's going to be a very bad day to king in that country.
