After arriving to Pyongyang and getting to have a look around the city, here are my first impressions of North Korea. I am basing this off of 3 days of exploring the city and while I got to see a small part of the country, I understand there is a lot more still to see.
I was on a guided tour to North Korea with a company called Young Pioneer Tours. You can book here - bit.ly/2IX3imw

This video series is NOT a political commentary. It is only meant to document what it’s like to travel to North Korea (DPRK) in 2019.
I can only show you what I am shown myself.

"You have to show the statues in full frame. You can't crop anything."
*crops hand of Kim Il Sung*
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that; how did the "minders" miss that?
Watch out for female NOKO assassins.
You crop hand of North Korean leaders.
North Korea crops your hand.
@@LeeDee5 *crops your life
Remember otto warmbrier , fvk NK they are the enemy, dont support these evil fvks with ur stupid vlog
"They have to be in full frame"
Literally the second shot is not in full frame
Love your videos Collin
Been watching them for over a year now
Hey Colin, any chances of you doing bargaining in Pyongyang?😊 Love your vids
North Korea in your future ?
And puts whole head in front of statues.
it wasn't a photo, it was a video....
You know how in video games there are often buildings or scenery in the background that aren't interactable? That's what it feels like looking at some buildings.
Haha, interesting thought
You’re onto something. They are hiding something. Ask yourself what that may be.
That’s the truth, It really do be like that.
Those aren't even real buildings, they're large cardboard cutouts of buildings 😂
ALL of the people viewed from the train are NPCs
if you went outside of Pyongyang and filmed the real side of this country, you would never be seen again
1:35 - You're getting a view of North Korean 'normal life' the same way you get a view of and American's 'normal life' when you take a tour of Beverly Hills.
watch the episode before you basic bastard
well yeah, it's like going into a prison and seeing the way people live...
Yup. Just like Beverly Hills. Except for not being allowed to speak to anyone or say anything bad about the leaders
@@Lolaismypoopydog2036 And watch out how you aim that camera!

Even in North Korea the notoriety of Chinese tourist groups is also known. 😂
They are a headache here in Thailand 😭
They are also headache in my country

Maybe thats why China implemented social credit ratings on their citizens

You eat more food in this trip than most North Koreans see in months.
O? BUT EVERYBODY IS HEALTHY! MIRACLE!
@@sundayspring252 Yea in Pyongyang everyone is healthy. Go outside the capital and you'll see the real North Korea
How did you get outside of the wall to know this? Any pictures?;

Sht, i just noticed, proper creepy
Probably very rare to see non-asian tourists
"I feel like i was able to say anything while i was in Pyongyang, which is why im back here in China telling you how i felt, for my own safety."
When is the last time you saw someone getting executed for saying bad things about the CCP? When is the last time you see someone not being blocked on social media for support Donald trump?
@@richardmoskalyov8503 Jack Ma the owner of Alibaba has been missing since October after remarks about Chinese regulation stifling innovation. There are concentration camps in China for Muslims. There is also the Social Credit system in China. Meanwhile Trump is banned by a private company (Twitter, Facebook), can you imagine Weibo banning Xi Jinping? I think not.
@Squant Brainwashed lmao only elites live in Pyongyang go watch videos of actual NK defectors, they won't lie to you like this video does
@@z0h33y right? Exactly. These people painting China like it's a bastion of freedom are mislead

Pyongyang is meant to look like they all live in normal lives, north korea specifically tries to get the most respectful and loyal citizens in pyongyang so it looks normal and a great life there, but the majority of north korea's population is in poverty and lives a terrible restricted life.
It's not that deep, bro.
Maybe American media has skewed your opinion. What if that's just their way of life? Just what if that's the best they have?
A tourist is treated a lot better than the people of that land. How sad.
Do you believe in Santa Claus and Fairy Tooth too?

@@MK-bi9qe no. How does this apply to my comment?
Very likely that the people who played football and participated in tug of war were some bunch of selected people to show tourists, how much fun there is in North Korea. Similar as with stores full of food "for display".
Arnolds Baltnēģeris how do u know that tho
@@facemaskchannel7176 The fact that all groups of tourists are strictly controlled, where they go and what they see, no unattended arbitrary wandering around allowed whatsoever, tourist routes always the same etc. proves, that there is actually a different life behind the wall that tourists are not supposed to see.
Totally staged.
@@facemaskchannel7176 Because of the stories of people that have escaped NK. Common sense. If you have to go into a country that TAKES YOUR PASSPORT until you leave, that's a big red flag. If you can't go anywhere unattended or leave your hotel by yourself at all, that's a big red flag. If all of the videos from people touring NK are in the same places, that's a big red flag. One or two things is shady but all of that is just fucking wrong.
Not only that but no sane leader would have that many giant pictures of themselves just decorating the sides of buildings.
didnt james franco see a fat kid in his videos of nokor?
It reminds me of some weird movie set. It looks like a place stuck in 1959, the women dress and men suites and the decor of the buildings. The most enduring part of this was the soccer scene. It is amazing how sport transcends culture and people. Neat.
So basically Cuba
No> Cuba is completely different culture. Not saying Cuba is a great place to live either. @@pegcity4eva
The people in this video are all actors. It’s all staged. And yeah… they use sports since it’s best for propaganda.
Football*
that dude at 9:39 was really nice
Great video about a country that has always intrigued me. Thanks for your work in putting this up for us mate - super interesting and love the efforts you go to to show the rest of us a place that is really difficult to comprehend.
My great grandparents were born in North Korea (they were born in Korea) and they left the country to Uzbekistan before the divide when North and South became two different countries. My grandmother was born in Uzbekistan and she eventually moved from Uzbekistan to Russia and that’s where my father was born. I was born in Russia in October 2001 long after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In September 2018 five years ago I visited North Korea for about four or five days and I absolutely hated it inside and wanted to leave the country on day one because of how horrifying it felt. Since I’ve never seen the Soviet Union North Korea reminded me of a city in Avatar The Last Airbender TV show called Ba Sing Se. My family members and I were allowed to see exactly the same things shown in this video. You are constantly surveyed by government agents much like in Avatar The Last Airbender TV show in the city Ba Sing Se. I’m happy that my great grandparents managed to escape it long before the war.
Excuse me Sir how can i get to the main square?
A: You have to take Kim Ill Sung street and then at Kim Jong Un street you must turn left and continue Kim Family Avenue and then you will see the international Kim Hotel, opposite to that is the Kim is a god who doesn't poop square..
Lmfao
Omggggg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA 😂😂So good!!
😂😂
xD 😂😂😂😂
My first impression from the video shots is that it's really clean. Didn't see any litter anywhere.
Because it is a movie set for foreigners.
@@dimelo3027 i will show u a movie set of north korea. th-cam.com/video/lSe-TMSJpbg/w-d-xo.html
And you think his handlers will let him go any place? Why doesnt he try and steal a poster on the wall in his hotel. This is nothing more then propaganda for north korea and another source of income for a brutal idiot.
thats one of the pros of a communist country though. cant deny it
I think it's mainly they have nothing to litre because they are short on everything. Also it's sanctioned. No trash from foreign countries could make their way to N.K.
I wonder if he realizes that everything he saw- the whole show was put together just for him.
Paul Tenberg well he should be thankful, never in any countries put warm greet such effort like that.
Thats a very different view than what you usually get from these kinds of videos, thank you!
Have to get everything in full frame
4:05 😂
Lolol so funny 😂😂😂😂
4:45
That festival in the park is staged. Since the tours are guided and of course scheduled, the people are there to interact with different tourists visiting everyday.
Yup. I also noticed the state photographers getting in close during the tug-of-war (7:19). Every bit is orchestrated for use elsewhere in state media.
I'm mexican, and in my country people dresses up as mayans (I'm from Cozumel island), and dance the "traditional dances to the traditional songs of our culture" every day to entertain the tourists. We sell "traditional" souvenirs that are produced in mass and come from places like China. We engage small talks with the tourists to sell them products "with history", among other things. So, I don't see the difference between what you said and any tourist center. Those places are made to look beautiful.
It's scary how many people agree with you
@@ODIRGO yup stuff like that's also happans in Fiji or Hawaii too.
ODIRGO the difference is you admit that people do it for tourism. North Korea says that this is a real festival enjoyed by North Koreans which happened only at that time and that the tourists were just lucky to arrive in North Korea while the festival is there. While the festival is there nonetheless, as it’s for tourists to see.
be thankfull you came back :D :D
Good content! Keep it up!
I cant imagine traveling to a country, where I cant walk the streets or talk to people. It is the main reason for me to travel around the world - experience where and how people live in different countries, experiencing their culture from themselves. The whole trip and the parts of the city you have been showed absolutely looks like a theater setup.
It is a theater setup. Because this isn't a country. It's a cult.
wtf u can talk to ppl and walk the streets there r u dumb
@@bt-rw1cu You have to stick by your tour guide, if you branch off from them you and the tour guide will both get punished, terribly.
@@silversmoke8398 it's more than just a cult it's a concentration camp of 25 million people.
Then u must be an native English speaker. So u can have the privilege to speak English freely around the world.
Only just discovered this channel - watched a few vids. Initial feeling is that I’m impressed - creator seems genuinely interested in giving his opinions rather than being obsessed with making sure the camera is all about him like lots of travel Vloggers do. This North Korea episode was ace - thank you
Your video has been a great experience for a fellow traveller! I really enjoyed your style of getting close to the real people with no preconceptions. Keep up the great work my man! Greetings from Fin
Quite informative and gives some insight into what a visitor could expect to see.
The statue bowing is pretty insane. It's like if you went to a giant statue of Hitler in Germany and laid flowers and bowed.
If you're German, then you technically could pay your respects to the former fuhrer of Deutschland if you love and miss his ideology and agenda for he was yours. However, I would never bow down paying my respects to a foreign dictator nor Hitler for he wasn't mine and I know he failed miserably not to say my big old great Donald Trump is the greatest in history like some claim. This is where my liberal qualities quickly disappear and socially conservative patriotic ideology kicks in. Maybe I would pay my respects at Arlington Cemetery and my own memorials and most certainly not at a foreign war propaganda glorified dictator memorial like this one. North Korea is surprisingly familiar having lots of style of everything seen in South Korea so it's really not a necessary risk to take with videos of brave sojourners like this being a sufficient look for it's all he was able to see and know too being how tours are dictated.
More like if there was a statue of Donald Trump in Washington DC.
@@sportinglines5420 LOL That might become a thing...
Tube Specific I doubt it.

as a tourist you never get to see cruelty side of North Korea ,
Edit: Thanks for all likes
Which is every other side other than the one they present to you.
Homer Simpson or any totalitarian regime in that matter.
And if you see the cruel side they will probably kill you
As a tourist you never get to see the cruel side of any country you usually visit.
@@InXLsisDeo but especially when the authoritarian regime of the country has multiple guides with you at all times showing you only what they want you to be shown, and presenting the entire country as a utopia
You felt fairly free to say whatever you wanted, but you still waited to till you were back in Beijing to discuss your first impressions because you didn't feel free to say what you wanted. 😂😂😂

This video reminded of the first time I went to Disneyland as a kid. All the citizens made me feel welcome. It was a magical experience.
But when I got older I realized It was all a sham. Snow White, Goofy, Micky Mouse, the 7 dwarves etc etc etc were nothing more than underpaid actors
Im pretty most of those actors enjoy their work. They like talking to kids and helping them have a fun time. Otherwise they wouldnt work there
And just like DPRK if you run into some secret government experiment in Disneyland you'll "disappear".
Look up the documentary Children of Orange County and you will see how fake America can be.
Well if you pay like $2000 for a trip to Disneyland what else do you want? For them to treat you like crap?
It’s a theme park in the United States, not a capital of a dangerous country they’re not similar at all, that’s like saying if some random person treats you nice they’re a sham because in North Korea Capital they treat you nice
@@jazroNA my comment flew right over your head and it is still flying
Very good and interesting video that jord! Thanks
Thank you very much for uploading this amazing video,
That ice cream cart scene is beyond fucked up. I doubt its there for anyone other than foreigners who have lucrative foreign currency to spend and videos to show of the carefully selected and manicured routes they're taken on.
One of the best personal documentaries I have seen on North Korea and all the more pertinent because it was filmed this year (2019). Well done!
Then you haven't seen anything, sir.
Good video
thank you for sharing the trip. It looks so nice
Awesome vids matey!
Great job! I couldn’t imagine visiting such a place, but it looks interesting from the video.
Finally wait till you update the video, so lucky~~
LOL went to NK with no trousers - that’s a bold move
They look like lovely people. An amazing video blog. Thanks Jord.
Felicitaciones Jord, buen contenido, y una mirada interesante a un lugar tan extraño y lejano para muchos de nosotros.
2:34 lucky they didn’t know you mispronounced the “great supreme leader’s name” kim yong il lol
honestly - you've seen a stage managed version of the country.
People can be seriously assaulted by state guards for tearing a newspaper photo of their "supreme leader", also families are collectively punished if one member leaves.
There are bonuses for fatally shooting North Koreans heading out of the country northward across the river, and much of the country does not have: water, sanitation, plumbing, light.
Hundreds of thousands are in gulags, many people there "in the provinces" have permanent signs of malnutrition or scars from the regime, including incidents where children witness public executions, and older citizens witnessed a generation dying on the footpaths due to economic collapse decades ago, followed by continuing poverty.
An issue with travel videos about the "tourist sites and visitor groups" version of North Korea is that it risks normalizing the totalitarian, abusive regime that evades much coverage in daily media. Most people have little or no footage of what happens in the wider community, or what the effect of information control, rallies and repeated state programming (brainwashing) has on individuals there.
Thanks for your efforts and giving us interesting insight. perhaps visit one day.
I'm really considering such a trip as well now. Of course as a Tourist you don't get to experience the real North Korea, even if you take longer tours and tours into parts of the country that are more rural. Still, it's very interesting in my opinion. Terrifying - and should I ever do it, I would propably be tense an somewhat nervous the whole time - but interesting.
Se for, venha nos contar a sua experiência!
Me too I would love to go but would be terrified to do something wrong and get arrested lol! Clever of them not to let you see the starving people and poverty in the countryside.Feel sorry for all those people trapped there.
Such an interesting journey, can't wait to see more!
Keep up the Great work
Ok... so you probably know this, but you need a wind screen for your rig. I love your content. It’s interesting, containing depth and full of lighthearted, wholesome b roll. You are underrated sir, but get that screen for your heightened production value. You could diy one, for now, if it’s tight. Cheers.
I've noticed in more recent videos like yours that things have relaxed a little there (at least for tourists). I remember seeing a few years ago the vice guide to north korea and it really was very strict. Still, i think anyone who goes there is pretty brave (or at lease naive) because if something was to go wrong, like for that poor american chap, then there is nothing your embassy can do, so youre pretty much on your own. Then there is the whole debate about funding a state like that, which lets its people starve etc. Either way, theres better places on the planet to go.
Saying that, i think this video is awesome and the insights into the country and being able to see it from the comfort of my own home is great! so thanks for an awesome video!
it really give me the vibes there tying to improve there public image and need the money, i heard in another video they were trying to make/export there own cosmetic products.
I'm not convinced the situation is improving for the regular North Korean.
@@LiveManga37 yeah i woulndt imagine for a minute things are improving for the north koreans especially those outside pyongyang. I remember previous tours and the locals werent allowed to engage at all with the foreigners, but here you see them playing football together and stuff.
I’m sure NK is aware of the other videos, especially Vice. They’ve completely manipulated their tourists each and every time, and they’re just getting “better” at it.
@Ammonia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Ammonia The main reason is that they have a really strong connection with China.
If you want to explore more in-depth, you can find private tour guides, they can customise the trip according to your needs. I watched a serial of vlogs made by a Chinese tourist, he travelled to so many places that ordinary tours won't go.
Looks an amazing trip thanks for sharing
Ive seen several tour vlogs of Pyongyang, and i swear its like groundhog day. Same things over and over and over.
7:27 those two in blue gave absolute everything they had in them to win

4:18 hand was in full frame
Good Vid! Enjoyed it.
WOw.. love the music in the start.
Nice cropping
Honestly though, a fascinating look into the country. Of course they'll show you what they want you to see, but ultimately that's just why you take the tour with a grain of salt.
Lol. I am in China, I can say whatever I want - immediately an evil uncle appears
that was no no ordinary evil uncle. That was one of uncle Kim's secret agent assassins prepared to strike with deadly VX gas at any moment if Jord says anything anti party.

Lady at 2:51 was defiantly a "watcher" checking to see if she needed to report your friend for doing something "bad" to the flag.
Regular people in Pyongyang videos walk while trying not to stare, meanwhile she just stays in that small circle looking at people while holding a phone with both hands. She's supposed to stay lowkey and friendly, so possible "threats" can let their guard down, then she'll report "crimes" from people who got to comfortable.
that was the tour guide you moron
Think it may of been the tour guide...
The person I called "Watchers" official term is called "Minders". There job is to watch you so you don't say and do "disrespectful" things and GUIDE you.
7:38 this guy on the right with arms crossed and another a few second later are mind stalkers guys too. They follow him silently on his back .
I really enjoyed this!! Thanks. Also....did you feel safe there?
The first vlog I watched on your channel, North korea trip ☺
It seems that you travelled in Pyongyang only... this is one single city that have a light at night and other NK people don't allow to enter into freely (I know you didn't allow to move to other place though). It means that most people in your film are communist members (probably high level) and their families. I have supported some NK defectors in SK and have read many news form the most reliable media in relation to NK. Please don't forget that there are more than 22,000,000 people still struggling and horribly controlled by the party outside of Pyongyang.
Note: no reply by the video blogger a year later. Very poor!

Hi I have been to Seoul five times and the closest I have been to Nth Korea was Naksan Beach and that was amazing. You were very respectful and whether Nth or Sth. Koreans like that. Great commentary would have liked a few more pictures. I will put that on my list of to do's Thank you.
I have seen some of youtubers videos about Nk and come to realize that they feature almost the same. Hoping next time they can show us their hospital, university, museum etc 😊..
Your tour seems a little more laid back than in other videos i've seen that are at least 5 years old now.
north korea is getting more relaxed with tourists. its not as strict anymore as it used to be.. for tourists at least!
I hope that soon people are freely able to travel and interact with North Korea and it's population. I would like to see NK as an active participant and friend of the rest of the world. As of now it seems that they are behind a barrier and we dont know much about life there compared to other countries. We need less conflict and more friendship on Earth. This video only shows a sliver of the actual life of most people living there. If NK were more transparent with the general population, I imagine most of the world would have a more sympathetic opinion of the country. At least the people that aren't involved in government.
@@ext93 Exactly. Some people in the comments mock these people and how they live but it's not North Koreans' fault. They were just born in the wrong place. It's obvious that they're brainwashed to some degree. That's why I don't think people are being fair mocking by calling them actors or NPCs etc. As long as the Kim dynasty is around I don't think North Korea will ever open up to the world.
Nice vid Jord and your commentary was quite honest.A great experience for you to visit NOKO.
Very informative!
Thank you for the Great video
I've seen several videos by others who went on guided tours to North Korea; they're mostly from several years ago, and they show a more restricted experience. However, their trips were usually longer than yours, so perhaps there were more opportunities to get into trouble with their minders/tour guides. It's also possible that the North Koreans are taking a different approach to their foreign guests, giving them a bit more leeway. There are a lot of videos out there about trips to N. Korea, and they often deal with the over-zealous attempts at control. Maybe the N. Koreans are aware of this and want to avoid any further negative publicity on that score.
Great content, good quality and smart commentary - thanks!

11:50 They allow you to film whatever you want because they built those "tourist zones" for you to film, obviously they are not showing you the real North Korea, they are just showing you what they want you to see, so obviously there's no problem to film with such freedom over there.
Enjoyed this mate….
Thank you for sharing your trip
Another honest, factual account of a North Korean visit. Keep expecting him to break into a cliché ridden rant about reppresion, secrecy etc...but no. Just information and open attitude. I'll certainly keep watching...and learning !
Come to Venezuela. I can give you a tour.
Great video:)
I’m absolutely shocked by all the positive, naive comments, i.e. “so clean! The media is so wrong, it’s beautiful!” Guess I’m the naive one...
I read a graphic non-fiction "novel", (more a travelogue) by Guy Delisle who followed this trail who said he was rather alarmed that he did not see ONE elderly or disabled person on the streets at all...I wonder if you witnessed the same ?
