- As with many countries, the DPRK has a wide array of orders, titles, and decorations with which to recognise merit in a range of different fields. From military service orders to medals commemorating the construction of the capital, and from Joseon-era Naval Officer decorations to the Hero of the Republic title.
This is DPRK's rundown of the most intriguing, famous, and beautiful medals, orders, and titles in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
This video wouldn't have been possible without my friend Taylor from New York; so thank's buddy!

A rarely talked-about topic! Will be a great video, as always
It would really be interesting to see a video on DPRK's Olympic program, or its professional sporting world.
Agreed
Loved the video! Could we potentially see a video on shops in North Korea, whether that be local stores or supermarkets. I'm rather interested to see how the state runs them and how much food costs on average. Love the videos man they are great, I watched the premiere but I wasn't logged in to leave a comment.
Great idea :)
Stores and supermarkets...there aren't any 🤣🤣🤣🤣
go to channel jaka parker, you can see the lfe in pyongyang
@@jonnieinbangkok Actually they do. Pyongyang has a number of department stores, many smaller cities have smaller stores, and small villages have markets.
@@jonnieinbangkok only for the super elite
I always wondered about all the medals some of the military wear. Very interesting video.
I always learn something new from every one of your videos. Thank you for your continued hard work, it's greatly appreciated by those of us who want to learn about the DPRK from an unbiased and human perspective.
I know you already touched on it in your prior videos, but I’d be interested to have a video dedicated to the north korean agricultural system, not just the organization of farms, but also typical crops and areas of the country that agriculture is practiced. Ive studied cuban agriculture before and there have been a ton of super interesting developments since the fall of the ussr, such as the rise of co-op farms replacing state run cash crop farms meant for export, as well as a huge increase in urban gardens/farms that now provide a significant amount of the fruits and vegetables in cuban cities. North Korea has a much colder climate with a shorter growing season, but are there urban farms or even casual gardens in the cities?
Excellent overview of the DPRK honor system! Much appreciated! Thank you!
mate, you should also make playlists with all that nk cool music
I think it would be a great video, as always
The medals of the DPRK look very cool!
This is REALLY well done. Great job.
Yes! Another splendid video! Thank you 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks, you give a pretty insightful explanation about north korea without letting politics get in the way
hi mate, can you make video on most powerful ranks in north korea's politics and political structure?
Thanks
Can't wait
Thanks from africa 🌍
A nice little video keep up the good work
Very interesting sum up of the medal and order system.
make a video on dprk factories
I've just receive a lot of orders of the national flag from one of my friend, so your video was so useful for learn about them!
Great Video as always! I would ask for a little request: How about you make a Video abt. DRPK Symbols :)
Love from germany 🇩🇪
Большое спасибо.
This is legit interesting info and produced very well. While I have my suspicions where these videos are made I nevertheless enjoy them. And if theyre are correct, you and whoever might help you deserve a cultural title! However, I still will stay tuned because this material is interesting
now this is gonna be interesting
Awesome video! Any links to the music???
Nice to see a video about medals! 🎖
I love these videos! The DPRK is such a proud nation. I love how they honor their heros! Thanks for the explanation of some of these medals.
What a beautiful and incredible country!
The Kim Dynasty are responsible for repairing the country from a wasteland created by japan and america
Beautiful? Nah. Incredible? Sure, but not in any positive manner.
I had a friend of mine who served in the United States Army. He told me he was sent to South Korea, out in the cold, cold hills. He said it was the coldest place he ever went to! I asked him if he liked it. He said, "Man, when I finally left, I got on the plane and I didn't look back!"
Edit: Really liked your video, you must have done an incredible amount of research on a subject from such a secretive country!
👍👍👍
muy bueno...me gustaria mucho conocer ese pais, conocer su cultura
Since the medal for Hero of the Republic was started at the commencement of the Korean War, I can’t help but wonder how many soldiers were awarded the medal posthumously. I now the north lost significantly more men. 3:25
I have some doubts when the large Chinese army that crossed the border is referred to as a “volunteer” army. Considering the arms supply and general all around miserable conditions, I can’t understand why anyone would volunteer for such conditions.
Love the video, of all countries, NK’s military hierarchy and awards are completely foreign to me.
I've been enjoying these videos. Sadly my into to DPRK was the erm 'comedy' The Interview. Which I'd never have watched if it weren't for the hack.
Anyway. Leaving that abysmal movie behind. I've enjoyed learning about the actual north Korea... It's interesting to try and learn about a culture so foreign to my own.
Close, I was close...
What is the song at 14:35?
Edit: It's called "The Impression of that Day"
Whats the music at the start?
Fantastic video. love your channel. I have a question for you are you a socialist?
we did it guys
Yay
Lesgo
I miss Alejandro Cao de Benos
what’s the song beginning at 16:29?
It's a song about Pyongyang.
@@sys9208 Yes but does anyone know the name?
this is a great way to promote nationalism and patriotism
A great book I recommend on this subject is "Orders, Decorations, and Medals of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" by Colonel William A. Boik. It's a great book and worth every penny. The author is very knowledgeable on the subject, having been to North Korea twice himself.
I used to have a copy when I was in Beijing, although I think lost to time unfortunately. Would love to get myself another copy in future.

Do second part of medals
I would love to move to the dprk.
