The isolated, hermit kingdom of the DPRK is shrouded in secrecy, It's nearly impossible to get any reliable information from behind the bamboo curtain. Nonetheless, every week, on T.V. and online, we are bombarded by the bizarre media-spectacle of North Korea. From nuclear apocalypse and prison camps to banned sarcasm and compulsory identical haircuts - any shred of information regarding North Korea becomes a viral media hit, regardless of how dubious the story is.
But that's all about to change.
Two Aussie boys decided to take matters into their own hands and go to North Korea to find out the truth for themselves. Join us as we look past the click-bait and unpack the forces behind the way our media represents the "Democratic People's Republic of North Korea".

Great video!!
Thanks for the kind words and love your channel!
We've just started out so we don't have much of a fan base... Feel free to share it if you're keen to spread the word and help us out :)

I heard about this film from an interview with the intrepid journalist Eva Bartlett. She goes where the establishment media fears to tread.
I think ReviewBrah supports North Korea. He even had a music playlist with a song about Kim Il-sung on it. It is either he supports it or he's really interested in it. I hope it is that he supports it because I support the DPRK.
EDIT: I made this comment three years ago when I was a cringe DPRK supporter. I no longer support North Korea. And in regards to the music playlist, it's no longer on his channel. Also, it was stupid of me to have suggested that ReviewBrah supports North Korea given how much he enjoys eating food. However, it is clear that he is interested in the country and is obviously not a fan of the sensationalism about North Korea in the media.

"Everyone's such an individual here" - 5 guys with identical man buns
well they purposely chose guys with the same hair *eyeroll* idiot
Sources in the hermit kingdom Australia report that every citizen is forced to be an insufferable hipster douchebag with a manbun. Even the women are made to get manbuns according to our sources, who add that their government claims to have discovered a real example of the fictional creature known as a dropbear.
thats newtown
Leftists, progressists and SJW think they are SO different and unique with their "out of the ordinary" style, but in fact they are just another mainstream trend. It's the same with their ideology.
@Harve Seks Oh shit! Does that mean we can finally revolution now!
This video is a great example of “NOBODY is immune to propaganda”. It’s just a matter of critically thinking for yourself and attempting to flock towards the least harmful versions of it.
And still a lot of people in the west believe that North Korea is evil and Israel is good 🤦🤦
Yeah but, while most news created by western medias about North Korea are fake, you do realize its a god awful nation to live in right? Dont come telling me that the US is worse because at least you get food on the US

@@Jannfndnanakid I love how whenever someone criticizes the USA there’re always weirdos like you that are so quick to jump to the defence.

@@cory_thelizardv2946 I mean, I dont want to sound like some filthy symmetrist, they went there and filmed what they seen as interesting. Usually when people visit countries like US, they dont film abuse, police brutality or inside of camp of drug addicts in central LA. In US journey vlogs you would see happy people, US landmarks, great food etc. Restricted zones are in every country in the world, in the west you can just get away with publishing more stuff, but still to some point, after that you can get legaly arrested or quietly silenced.
I think you missed the main point of that video, to look at somebody elses backyard without even looking deeply into problems of our own.
The country is still hella corrupt and shit, but it’s still not as insane as people make it out to be, though at least I can leave my country.
@@salt7456 to be fair, north korean students are allowed to an do study abroad
The ironic hair cut gag in Newtown was brilliant! "same hair cut as everyone else? oh no way we're all individuals here that don't and wont conform" said the manbun to the manbun about all the other manbuns.
just like with piercings, tattoos and many other "rebellious", "non-conformistic" expressions. we humans always want to be in groups :)
:/
This is so funny, the irony actually went over my head at the time… 😂
@@tja4379 which time period do you time traveller come from? I have tattoos and it's just because I think skin can look prettier with little cute drawings all over not because I'm "rebellious" or "non-conformistic", actually it's been pretty normalized at this point, I dont think a lot of people see tattoos as a sign of rebellion or non conformism anymore unless the specific tattoo purposefully displays these ideas
That was the joke 💀 lmao
This changed my perspective honestly, thank you guys for changing my life
This is such a lovely thing to say.
Thanks so much, we'll keep the videos coming!
@@Boy_Boy
hello. I have some genuine question.
I've been trying to understand what's going on in the world, the horrible loss of human lives, killings even worse the people justifying taking other humans lives and so on.. it looks like never ends.
What's troubling me is that I can not see things in any perspective other than 'good vs evil'.
I came across some posts telling how horrible propaganda is in socialist counties and how disillusioned people from free countries trying to preach socialist countries as the good ones, some times I agree with one side other times I feel ostracised from majority because I feel for another side.
Also, I believe people do what they think is right at that moment and definitely nobody has ill intent for their fellow men, so the strictness and authoritarianism handled by some countries maybe due to the things they experienced in past or to protect a collapse in future, but I don't know what my place in all this should be.
If you read all this then you'd realise I'm confused about all this, but really want to learn about things and develop thinking abilities that help me take a stand without feeling like I'm wrong. Again, I'm stuck in this good vs evil binary narrative which makes me feel guilty for taking a stand at all. This can help me not only to understand political climate, but also to help me grow as a person to take firm decisions.
I could've asked this to anyone, but I just came across this video and you seem to respond to many comments.
I'm in my mid 20s, feeling somewhat lost about not having achieved a lot in this fast paced culture always celebrating about winning and succeeding in life, and I am not even sure if it's okay to ask you this ,but can give some advice about anything, and especially learning about politics like something unbiased book or any other resources? Anything will be helpful. Not just resources to learn, but also your opinion please.
Thank you.
Nice. Couldn’t believe Jon Stewart did a bit on them. Like, you still think it’s okay to do this same schtick? It was depressing.
@@raw_dah I feel you. I think the conclusion I've reached to give myself closure on that sort of thing is that it's human nature to try to find patterns - that's how we've survived as a species. When it comes to complex social structures, though, the narrative of a binary to simplify and hence understand the social structure just fails. But people cling to it anyway. I think so long as you go forward questioning the things you read, you will be fine. Keep those things in mind, but don't let it turn into pessimism, as much as you can. There really are people out there like you who also want to see the world in a balanced way, and challenge their biases. I think the best way to challenge biases is to try to imagine you're on the "other side" of the discussion. In this video, boy boy talks a lot about "imagine what it's like living in north korea and ...", and that's the kind of approach you want to take. Question both sides' perspectives, though, and really ask yourself "is there any other reason things are seen this way?", or "are there any other explanations?".
Nobody is infalliable, and if you realise you need to challenge views you've had in the past, you will almost always grow from doing so.
@@raw_dah I just want to add - you say you feel lost in life not having achieved a lot. Success is measured in a lot of different ways, and I hope you achieve success in the ways which matter to you. In saying that, not many people are worried about the things you're worrying about; you've got a good head on your shoulders, I think, and you should feel some assurance in that.
17:56 im mexican and this entire sequence made me realize that my country culture and theirs isn't as different as theirs and in the end, even when both countries may suffer by a bad image from the news and by our government, we still find a way to have fun with our friends and spend the day without worries.
Man I absolutely adore the music in that segment
I dont mean to be a downer, or fully write off the singing scene as inauthentic, but it is common for these singers or performers to be planted by NK, and shown to tourists/filmed in order to create Propaganda, making the country seem more normal and cheerful than it is.
@@jahvongrey5663 But that doesn't mean that the country isn't normal or less cheerful than any other country, as long as we don't really know how it is there it is all just a fantasy specially with all of the lies mixed with the truth we can't be sure. And for a country that is still in war they can't be showing weakness(that's my interpretation)
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back!
I like the part where the people they interview say they wouldn't get a haircut because someone else was doing it despite them all having such long luxurious hair
that is a good point, i did not notice it, like the dude does literally says that he lived on the beach and everyone had long hair
That part really stuck out to me, whilst they slate a country for allegedly not allowing free choice and everyone must conform, they are unconsciously doing the same. They’ve been taught “long hair and wearing whatever you want = not confirming”, so to the guys with long hair in this vid probably think they’re free thinking, non-conforming, and unique, but they’re a dime a dozen.
@@ZombieSazza That's a big reach tho since all of them had their hair in different lengths and they all had it tied or styled in different ways. By that logic every woman on the entire world with long hair has the same style lol
@andrew slater or they just liked having long hair
@andrew slater when you specifically pick guys with long hair to interview then yeah i guess
"Death squads? I'm so glad our army has nothing to do with death" LOL
So, this actually isn't the way to go with that. The difference between an army and a deathsquads are what they are and what they do.
Armies have artillery and air support and a combined arms doctrine that makes them well suited to fight other armies to destroy hard targets or hold territory. A deathsquad is like 40 guys, and like 5 of them have Aks and the other 35 have machetes and they're only really suited to wiping out civilians. Using an army as a deathsquad is stupidly innefficient because you didn't need to pack this much firepower for that village. Using a bunch of deathsqudas as an army is inneffective. The deathsquads would just lose the fight really quickly. The thing to point out is that America is both the largest funder of armies and the largest funder of deathsquads on the globe.

Exactly. I doubt dismiss that we in the west have our own propaganda but this video is so disingenious.
I found this channel a few days ago and I’ve been binging all of the content. Thanks for the entertaining and thought provoking content
I learned more about the Korean War in the first three minutes of this video than I learned in US history classes in high school. Which is a low bar because we didn’t talk about it at all, it was very much “WE won WWII and then nothing ever happened again”
Did you know that they literally ran out of targets to bomb. They couldn't find any intact bridges, or buildings by the end.
@@jamesrowlands8971 Jesus fucking christ, no I did not but that's horrifying. Rebranding the war as the "Forgotten War" was such an effective and nefarious strategy, it makes it sound like it's not even really worth talking about but the more you learn about it the more you realize that it's just a lot more beneficial to America to intentionally forget we did that. And then the cherry on top is making sure the only thing Americans ever hear about the Korean War unless they feel compelled to look into it is "there were a bunch of American POWs we didn't get back."
@@syd5380 some of the POWs actually defected to the North Korean side because they witnessed what we did to them. Not only that, but the Chinese inflicted the longest retreat US forces have ever had to conduct on them.
There's quite a lot of interesting and quite macabre facts about this war.
They were reading out of a North Korean propaganda book, it's not what actually happened. Korea was never united under a socialist government. After Japan was defeated, the US and the USSR installed socialist/military governments in the North and South. The US even went to the UN and proposed that the Korean people should be able to choose their government but North Korea refused to participate. PLUS don't forget that the Korean War was started by North Korea, they invaded the South first...
@@DanielBlak why are you lying when claiming that they're the ones spouting propaganda? It was the US backed fascist regime that refused elections, and massacred people for organising.

"The US is increasingly being held nuclear hostage."
Isn't that true of every country in a world where any country has nuclear weapons and the will to use them?
No, you don't get it! Only the US can hold every other country nuclear hostage, under the pretense of "freedom and democracy!"
if anyone shoots one into any other country, a loose cannon for example - all hell will break loose
Not to mention America has a system in place that will fire all available nukes if they're to be hit with one - making it a really bad idea to nuke them
@@deletedchannel2379 M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction was employed as an agreement with the US and Russia so if one fires on the other all fire everything I guess as a fuck you from both and a stalemate. Who gives a crap who did what if everyone fires its not like either government gives a damn what the citizens feel towards launching all nukes...
If a country launches a single nuke its a big deal for the entire world and could pose a serious threat the any citizen of any country. Never forget the I'll translated quote, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds" as he saw the first nuke detonate. Largest explosions ever created with not only a single blast but multiple shockwaves to tear through anything on top of heat that can turn sand to glass, leave radioactive fall-out, irradiate anything, and last for however long each Form of decaying material wants to hang around for. Sounds like a fun time 👍
And still, the US is the only country which has used nuclear weapons against another nation, TWICE.
If you're confused about all the brazilian people in this comment section, there has been a recent surge in marxist-leninist ideology over the past months within some sections of the country's internet and one of the most prolific brazilian communist channels (História Cabeluda) made a recent video discussing the international media's sensationalism with North Korea reacting to this video.

I'm torn on this one. On one hand, NK isn't _as_ bad as Western media makes it out to be, and I agree with your statement at 17:30.

This was just a sad video. Trying to compare and conflate documented criminals breaking laws vs documented family members getting thrown into prisons where they face hard labor, rape and execution for the 'crimes' (speaking against the govt) their family members committed. Amnesty International has released their own reports on North Koreas prison numbers that show North Korea has more prisoners per capita, although their official numbers would make you believe they basically have none.

not exactly Japanese-Japanese, but rather Korean traitors who worked for the Japs were put in government by the US, like if France was forced to keep the Vichy government after the war. President Park Chun Hee, and general Paik Sun-yup both were officers in the Japanese Army during WWII
It's pretty common in that period of history for America to depose democratically elected leaders if they were too "communist" and install a puppet regime. Just look at South America.
Maybe he drinks out of guilt? Best case scenario
The American side in the Korean war was brutal and racist, including towards black soldiers. If they were awful and racist towards fellow soldiers, they were even more brutal towards Korean people
@@chuchu9649 The american can never stop thinking about blacks.
Surprisingly honest.
Esse vídeo é sensacional! Como demorei tanto para achar! Parabéns 😊
It always amazed me how people will believe absolutely everything any media tells them about North Korea. Like, if anyone tells you that a country banned sarcasm, shouldn't common sense dictate that you identify this as a hoax immediately? It's kind of scary how powerful western propaganda is. As an Afghan, I learned that the hard way, when my people became the bad guys over night.
Anyway, that was an amazing and brave video, guys. You are righteous men.
The reason why very few people didn't identify N Korea banning sarcasm is because its so close to reality if you say something as small as I don't like Kim Jong Un you will be killed in front of an audience and your family starved. Also don't talk about western governments when your government rapes and kills people for fun you are literally under the rule of the Taliban. Also don't you realize this video was made by a westerner does that make this western propaganda also this video sugar coated N Koreas atrocities so much if you want to know the truth then watch "The people's" documentary on North Korea also its not made by a westerner so you cant call that western propaganda.
This is part true (as people has exaggerated news about NK) but it's part true as they're painted a super good image of NK and that's also absolutely not the case:

@@TheEdRiAx Miss me with that propaganda. I've read far too much of the CIA torture report and have lost far too many brothers and sisters in NATO wars to be fooled about who my enemy is. I know where evil dwells and it's not in Pyongyang.
@@maxkirchgessner468
TL;DR: Source(s): Dude trust me.
Good job proving both my and the videos point alike. Just spewing baseless and ridiculous accusations that every person with an average intellect would not believe, unless they are absolutely brainwashed and hell-bent on finding any potential fodder to fuel their disgusting hatred.
I have an advise for you. If someone tells you something about their enemy, don't blindly believe it.
Also you want to hear an accusation that is not baseless? Read the CIA torture report and tell me who is doing what, just for fun.
And considering you're too stupid to understand what western propaganda means, I don't think you want to participate in this, or any conversation amongst adults. Western propaganda is propaganda that furthers the west's imperialist agenda, regardless of who is spreading it. So your great documentary is indeed western propaganda, whereas this video is not, you moron. I know, your tiny brain likes to believe that you can deduce everything by just looking at a person's skin colour, but this is not the case.
@@maxkirchgessner468 You only know those things because of the propaganda you believe. Im not saying you are wrong, but you ARE proving his point perfectly.
Deêm a ordem, camaradas !! Love from Brazil ❤🚩
I love this video and I love the music in this video! You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work! Y'all make me wanna go and visit NK at least once, even if it's a guided tour of their best side. It's an experience not very many people will experience or ever say they did. Incredible work, boys
One of my favorite videos on youtube.
What a strange feeling! You made me look at people I don't know or really understand and see them for what they are... People like me. Who get or do not get haircuts just like me. Both of us told horrible stories about each other in order to keep us apart. Thanks for reminding me of this
Just like us! I love travelling and tourism, and it's always amazing to see that wherever you are or where you are from, people are just people. Next time I meet a tourist from North Korea, I will... wait a minute. Oh, that's right. Unless you are a high ranking politician or an Olympic level sportsman, you're not allowed to leave the country. Just like us! Wait...
It's important to see North Koreans as real people with real lives and real joys. Yes, what countries like the US do and get away with is horrifying and devastating, but "well they did a bad, too" does not excuse the desecration of fundamental human rights. This video is blatant propaganda washing over the very real and undeniable atrocities going on in that dictatorship. It's a disservice to the very brave people who have escaped and shared their stories. It's a disservice to those who died trying but were shot in the DMZ, or were otherwise executed for their attempts at freedom, and to the families of escapees who were tortured and murdered as a warning to dissuade others from escaping and risking the slaughter of their loved ones. Those stories are every bit as real, and more reliable (in my opinion) than the very curated tours that North Korea is willing to offer influencers who are willing to portray their regime in a positive light.
@@arishasmile1905You missed the whole point, and this isn’t trying to be a snarky comment, as I used to hold a similar perspective until I learnt about the Korean War. If the west creates a false narrative about DPRK. Then as a westerner you cannot stand on that falsehood when you see the reality. Especially when you see how the action of the USA were very much the aggressive. With the DPRK much more defensive in reaction to war crimes/ human rights violations. But you probably soak up the propaganda of the so called USA “Department of Defense” @14:27 for a reminder of “defense”.
E
The difference is their horrible stories are true and come from the experience of being invaded and 10% of all Koreans massacred and every building larger than 2 stories destroyed and every dam broken, etc. America (and the broader "West") is the evil empire it projects others as.

Wauw, what a marvelous podcast/documentairy.
You guys get it.
Keep up the good work open eyes
While I think you bring up an excellent point, I do feel like this may have disregarded genuine concerns about North Korea too much in the process of using its critiques to critique the wider "free world".
Yeah of course people make similar choices in their microcosms, like if you interview a bunch of surfer dudes they’re going to look the same. But in NK none of the men at the pool seemed to be free to make the choice to grow their hair out. And the women were all wearing one-piece swimsuits. Which you could say is because of their different social norms, but the fact that NOBODY is making different choices is strange. Even in conservative communities there are outliers that you can see. So that’s evident that there’s something deeper going on than “NK is just *different* and that’s okay brah!”
And they’re not allowed to use the internet to comment on this video. Like, okay, sure, it’s so equivalent.
@@fondtrout6354 The shot at 18:10 shows many people all with different hair cuts and US sanctions North Korea make it illegal for google to operate in NK. The NK government as well as the Afghanistan Government and many people from both countries are on Tik Tok but the US constantly removes their accounts.... So who's at fault here?
NK clearly has systematic problems, just like every other country, but i'd argue NK isn't even in the top 50% most backwards countries.
The point wasn’t that North Korea is actually totally fine, the point was that we don’t have any real idea of what daily life is like there, because all our news media is sensationalist. Vice-versa, we tend not to think comparatively about North Korea and other countries like America, even when America has some direct responsibility for the re-militarisation and recovery of North Korea. America, if it were a person, would be a dangerous war criminal and greedy, aggressive businessman with friends in the right places and the law on its side.
Agreed, they're right about this kind of stuff being ignored to paint a one-sided picture in the media, but their video is one-sided as well. And the (valid) criticism of the West didn't help their point; it just felt like a strawman.
Congrats from Brazil. Maximum respect, comrades ✊🏼 🇧🇷🚩
GIVE THE ORDER!
Well done guys. I graduated with a degree in Korean and history and it's so refreshing to hear what you had to say. I've been trying to tell people this for years, but to no avail. Keep up the good work.
Can you recommend any sources to read up on this further that isn’t biased by the west?
@@NA-yq4pe look around on youtube there is good youtuber that talk about it there bad stuff going in the country but the west prefer to talk about fake news, lie and minor stuff going around in the country but everything is biased in a way i can recommend you The DPRK video from The People on youtube You can learn a little more about how the country really work
I have a chance to be convinced to change my opinion on NK, but I still have a few questions: What about the N Korean refugees? They're constantly saying shit about NK tho, and the fact that ofc the tourist cities aren't gonna be rife with visable corruption sooo?......
@@EthanPerales. watch "Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang". There around 10-30,000 north Koreans who work abroad and are only maybe about 10 total who run the media circuit talking about the "evils" of the DPRK. Even then, a lot of times what they say is debunked. Not to mention SK offers a $830,000 cash reward for defecting, and many NK citizens who are stuck in SK (because SK refuses to give them a passport) have said you can't make money doing media and interviews unless you make up lies About NK. Some have tried to share their positive experiences and the tv shows didn't want them or dissuaded them from saying anything like that
@@ststst981 is nk really good tho?
I'm not entirely sure about the core point of this video. It kind of sounds like its "north korea is just as bad/good the US, except we are told lies about NK in the news to make them look bad". Could someone please tell me if im wrong in my understanding of the video?
the point is it's just a country with its flaws, but it's not a country where the leader and the government are the supreme caricatures of the lunatic communists that fed anyone they don't like to dogs or force the people to eat grass and wear only that one particular hairstyle like how the mainstream media in the west has led people to believe.
@@victorjacques5201 and yet North Korea isolates itself from the outside world. why would they hide if they had nothing to hide lmao
@@schlim6763no country is isolated by choice, they do commerce with China mostly, look at the US and EU sancions. Even when EU want to end the embargo to Cuba US vote is the only one that matters.
People from US are so indocrinared that don't know he is not free and FBI usa NSA datA( you are controlled already and ignore NSA and the judgements on FBI agents that were caught seeing data for mundane things.
Just enter chinese social media with translators and being innocuos like you with memes do not get them in trouble.
Even say in públic that has this Lock because of data manipulation that you are in by the US corporations, and affirm that vpn ussge is not a crime since they do not want this informatilon and propaganda you are fueled into Their kids, anyone in Their teens can have vpn but since they have Their own social media the only one Thay use is RUclips at most.
I dont give a fuck about NK, but If this vídeo don't make you assured that you are a puppet and your Freedom IS tô be what you are , If Not cointelpro would be on you in the past and now NSA have ALL your data in FBI hands but you are innocuos since you were made to be a puppet that IS free tô do whatever you are allowed by the governement with all your data has Control over you. Market agencies send vulgar marketing and you believe that you até choosing,, your algoritmn is a bubble and the funny thing is that you americans were made toys tô fighr against cultural marxismo that do not existe in Marxist contries ir to be passive agressivo and moralistic saying that you are superior because you pet minoritjes with victim narcisistic complexo without sny change, only laughable stuff like safe space and dread that If taken Their function limit to infinite our -infinite would Not change anything.
But you are free in the US, being monitored, controlled by marketing and algorithms and is the perfect innocuos Citizen who defends the status quo because china have more people in the party than US and allow more chance of policy(, compare mao deng and xi while every us president is Just a puppet to the ruling class) because he lives free tô not be someone who would Not have assange and snowden treatment.... Yet....
Us is a distopy .
The real crazy story of when Kim Il Sung kidnapped the South Korean actor and movie director to shoot films for him is what I feel greatly contributed to Western media churning out these exaggerated reports, because it was the perfect precedent: "Since this crazy thing happened, we can make them believe anything can happen in North Korea!"

Came for the hair cut
Stayed for the facts
That segment at the end really helps humanize the people ive only heard scary propaganda about. Even understanding this it really helps to understand this by just seeing people living their daily lives. That is what bonds us all.
this isnt their daily lives... look up some statistics on poverty in North Korea.
@@majesticturtle3828 I mean yeah the poverty in my American neighborhood isn't nothing to joke about either. May I also reduce the American experience down to its worst cases of poverty?
But yes its truly a shame the American state cares little to help alleviate poverty anywhere let alone in NK.
If it wasn't under constant military threat NK wouldn't have to militarize to such an extreme degree just to survive the slaughter of the Korean war.
North Korea is just another place on this planet with its own geopolitical issues and history.
@@Poadiup North Korea is a "vassal state" of China. The country it is in war with doesn't have nukes or an isolationist totalitarian hereditary dictatorship instead it has Nuclear energy and one of the strongest economies. Considering its economic history its entire existence the way it is under the current regime is critically hard to justify beyond being China's geopolitical proxy of course.
@@Einygmar Yes and the south is a vassal state of the US... who it is also at war with. it was a brutal dictatorship for a while too until the cease fire and the south recovered with foreign capital investment.
The US couldn't allow communism to spread and allow the Korean people the right to self determination and would repeat this same cycle of military violence against any people who reject American imperialism (Vietnam).
Its also illegal to speak positively of the north in SK media so honestly bro I'm just asking you to question the things you think you believe because there's always another side to the story.
@@Poadiup SK is not a vassal state anymore it was for some time simillar to how Japan was but currently it is economically self sufficient and has one of the strongest economies. NK on the other hand gets the majority of its electricity supply from China and relies on russian grain supply.
NK's regime has little to nothing in common with communism or with peoples right to self determination. It is a hereditary dictatirship with a centralized economy.
My parents used to live in the USSR, probably the most "successful" of all Communist\socialist states of the time. Even there the life wasn't particullary good or free. You get what the government decides to give you because it thinks it's what you need due to the centralized planning nature of the economy.
There's a tendency in communist\socialist-led states that all of the quality of life improvements are always related to the free market - oriented reforms and reintroduction of some forms of private ovnership of means of production as well as indtoduction of foreign capital. It happened with China during Deng Xiaoping, with Vietnam, Laos and Cuba and to the lesser extent with the USSR. The same thing is happening in NK because its original Juche based isolationist centralized economy starved a lot of people to death during the 90s and was only able to survive due to the extensive outside help.
Even if its Its really illegal to speak positively of the north in SK media it is also impossible to say anything outside of what the party wants to say in NK media because there's no independent media at all. It's also illegal to smuggle anything from the south and the punishment is more severe compared to SK. It was like this in the USSR and currently is in NK.
Wow watching this video as an American I just wanna say it’s scary I haven’t been taught a single thing about the Korean War and I’m willing to bet most of us haven’t
Yeah, It's the same here in Australia. We were involved in the Korean War too and we never hear anything about it. That's one of the main reasons we wanted to make this video.
@@Boy_Boy well thank you for the very interesting video, it made me reevaluate a lot of things. Also what do you say about people like yeonmi park?
Korean war was pretty decent compared to Vietnam at least the Korean war was more justified, in the sense that the north were aggressors and the south begged the us to come

From now on this channel is a must for me if you keep this kind of videos up (btw already subscribed), like seeing more crazy ideas like those and more travels would be just awesome(like some video about Chinese supposed "regime" and making fun of misinformation, some stuff about vietnam war, yugoslav war or cuban embargo or heck even go to some "friendly" country like South Korea and pinpoint some of their ridiculous abominations in society. Possibilities with this kind of formula are just endless. Whatever it might be im incredibly excited for your next work already (basically binged almost all your videos). Thank you for this awesome and genuinely creative work of yours and thank you for making socialist views more accesible to more ordinary people.
PS You have some balls making vid about Ukraine war that early into it, i applaud you fellow slav lol.
