Regardless of the politics of the DPRK, I enjoy the value it places on art as an important role in society. Many societies devalue artists work even though it is all around us and all consuming, the DPRK holds the artist as an important national resource.
Absolutely amazing video! Beautiful editing, apolitical presentation and fantastically informed. Keep up the amazing work.
damn how did you find this channel. very underrated
Hey wassup comrade?
Thank you very much!
@@vaibhavsajith4267 this dude always creeps around videos about former socialist countries to current ones
@@Joe-rk4mf OK?
Damn never realized how beautiful Pyongyang looks in the winter! But great video as usual!
A well made video! Hoping for that Nampo City video some day!
I’ll have to see what footage I can get my hands on
Many thanks for the interesting video!
The quality of videos continue to improve every video! Another amazing video from DPRK Explained!
Thank you!
As a long time avid fan of North Korea TH-cam videos, I am amazed by the detail, information, footage as well as the presentation/animation of your videos. It feels like you are a North Korean citizen showcasing your country to the world. I'm binge watching all your videos and liking all of them, instantly subscribed to your channel. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! It’s very gratifying to get comments like this and to see people are enjoying the videos and learning from the content!
Super informative. Thank you
i visited North Korea maybe 2 years ago and the monuments were amazing! really interesting to learn more about it thanks for the video
Awesome Pyongyang City landmarks
I was expecting a reference of Kaeson Metro Station.. and you said it. Haha 😂And also, A Good and informative video btw 🙌
The effort you put into your videos is exceptional
Pyongyang’s architecture truly is amazing
Fantastic video! Underrated channel!
Your channel definitely needs more attention.
Thanks for making great informative video 👍
Love it! I also love the music where is it?
Beautiful monuments, people, and nature
We too have an Arc de Triumf in Bucharest
Awww man! How did I miss this video by a day?!
Kudos for another great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice visuals
Thank you for telling us more about a mysterious country 🤠
I’ve been waiting for this one for quite a long time. Can your next video be on the Korean People’s Air Force?
Very good Video 👏
The work that goes in to each film on this channel makes it one on which I always let the ads play in full - believe me, that requires a degree of sacrifice at times, but is a tiny but practical way in which to pay respect the efforts made on here to enlighten us. Thank you!
Outstanding work ❤️
Amazing video! Keep up the amazing work! Also, may I know where do you get your background music? Especially the different variations of Arirang.
All the music in this video is from the Wangjaesan Light Orchestra
12:55 Sadly, the monument was demolished
Thanks I have been waiting for this video! North Korea has many things that a lot of people don’t know, thanks for educating us!
I really like this channel. It'd be cool if you did cultural stuff too. I'd love to see a video about the Pochonbo electronic ensemble
Very good video you success to make me know a monument that I did not know bravo!
Thank you Comrade. Excellent work, as usual.
I'm so incredibly happy to have found your channel. Incredibly interesting videos and presented without bias. Do you have a Patreon or a Ko-fi where we can help to support your work?
Odd you should ask, I’ve been toying with the idea of a patreon so I set up the basics yesterday - was going to put out a post asking for tier suggestions after my next video comes out
A great little video only wish I could visit the country one day.
Those monuments look amazing! I wish I could see them with my own eyes.
Can you a video on the hotels in dprk
I've wanted to visit the DPRK for a very long time. This country is so beautiful and one of the last few truly independent countries in the world that isn't under the influence from the West!
I feel like I recognize the last song used in your video... What is it called? Fantastic content by the way!
RIP Reunification Arch
Do you have a link to the music you used during the part on the Juche Tower?
Adorable Pyongyang. Love this beautiful city
What do you think of placement of the hospital? I honestly don't like it, and it obscure the view of the workers party monument from distance
I would love to go up that tower
Awesome video but some of the unlisted videos are still unlisted.
Make video on Orang stream hydropower project
Hey, DPRK explained, do you have the links to the songs that you used in the video, I kind of wanna listen to them, they sound nice.
The came from Side 1 of the Wangjaesan Light Music Band Selections CD
Here's the online version: th-cam.com/video/UvkKan86hVc/w-d-xo.html
I also love that arrangement of Arirang! 😂
@@DPRKExplained thank you. I’ll look at it as soon as I get home.
For the Arch of Triumph, I would welcome a more in depth treatment.
For example, I have seen video of the inside of the structure.
I would welcome knowing whether, like the Parisian analogue, one can enter and ascend to the top, and images of the various art outside and any inside.
I c more people are listing to you GREAT NEXT FOR US IS VISITING 😂😅😊
What's the arirang song?
We need the name of the music at 1:06
Im 19 and I am currently saving some money for a Trip. I havent even left the EU once but already want to do a trip to North Korea xD
@Zep How do you know it is dangerous?
I would like to visit the DPRK but my country has banned me from doing to it... LOL .... anyway Awesome job , mate.
Cool 😎 OURS IN THE CARIBBEEN🇹🇹 HAVE SMALL STATUS 😀 AN TOURIST SITES
The most positive vedio on dprk
After all the Japanese occupation was way worse
2:08 The USSR wasn’t Russia. It’s like calling the UK England (I know a lot of people also do that).
True, but "continued" friendship being the key term. Russian diplomats often visit the tower as a symbolic gesture of friendship - certainly it should stand as a symbol of continued friendship between the DPRK and all the former soviet states, but it's just Russia these days.
Thumbs up to show your love for the Supreme Comrade!
I would love to visit the mausoleum of Kim-Il-Sung, do you know if we can visit it like we can visit the mausoleum of Lenin in Russia??
Yes you can, the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun is open to foreign visitors, if you're travelling post-pandemic, check with your travel company if your tour is headed there OR if you're on a private tour, ask for them to work it in to your itinerary.
I like the Arch of Reunification. And I'd love to visit, but, unfortunately, I could never afford it. Thank you for taking us on these wonderful trips!
It was demolished
The lesson to be learned is that North Korea really loves and appreciates history and its heroes
🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵
Long live great DPR Korea and its marvelous people!
Lmaoo how old are you?
