Actually she might not be wearing one as she's working and in sports clothes. When in sports clothes or in some work uniforms it's not manditory to wear them.
Okay so I asked "where you live" in the Pyongyang hotel video but I got an answer after browsing around your channel. I have to say I'm in a battle with myself, because I think you're spreading lies, but the reason why I think so is because there's information being input into my brain beforehand, and that is "North Korea is like hell". Now I question myself, trying to get rid of my 'bias', kinda hard but I like when my views are being challenged. *English isn't my main language btw Can I ask you few questions though? It may be a bit sensitive so feel free to ignore it. 1. Is it true every house should have the past or current president pictures hanging in the walls, or else they may get send to a jail? 2. Do you ever met NK people that strongly despise the government (but unable to voice themselves)? 3. How would you rate NK as a country to live & as a country to visit? 4. Can NK people dye their hair? 5. Can NK people listen or watch western/SK movie or song? If not, what is the punishment? In the meantime, I think watching few of your vids are quite interesting, I hope this comment find you! Stay safe and happy EDIT: added some clarity, looks like I typed it when I'm sleepy
I completely understand your feeling! It's natural to think I'm lying or that it's government propaganda because it is different from the black and white media narrative you're used to seeing~ but you recognised that, which is cool! Also what I do here doesn't actually say anything *against* what the media says (which youl see in my answers to your Qs) it merely seeks to *expand* the narrative. The Qs im about to answer to you are prety much all correct - but that doesn't mean that's all there is to NK 1. Is it true every house should have the past or current president pictures, or they may get send to a jail? Yes 2. Do you ever met NK people that strongly despise the government (but unable to voice themselves)? No (I never ask them about politics and I'd never want someone to confide in me that they hate the govt - too dangerous for both of us) 3. How would you rate NK as a country to live & as a country to visit? Tricky. Depends on your criteria. Wouldn't want to live there. Think it's very interesting historically and culturally to visit, but there is lack of infrastructure and you go around with guides. 4. Can NK people dye their hair? Yes but only natural colours like it seems they never dyed it. 5. Can NK people listen or watch western/SK movie or song? If not, what is the punishment? No - no idea the punishment, could vary.
@@ZoeDiscovers hi! Thank you sooooo much for the answer! I went to your IG few hours ago and again I face another challenge after I read that you won't talk to Yeonmi Park, a very firm NO from you, again, it is because I initially, or heard Yeonmi Park's story first and perceived it as "fact". But after reading some of her Wikipedia (which can't be used as a reliable source of information due to anyone can edit it to my knowledge), some defector debunked her story about public execution. Then I come up with the conclusion that even if she is not lying about her escape, some story may be exaggerated, whether it is intentionally to paint NK as SUPER evil, or her mental health issue lead to inaccuracies, bias, etc. Just like you just mentioned, it is not always plain black and white, she can be right and wrong at the same time. Regarding your hesitation to talk to her for any reason, I think it is entirely your choice. I also read your IG comment and appreciate your honesty! You said you can't be 100% sure NK people are not paid actor (lol), you're being honest that you can't go anywhere without a guide (which indirectly points out little freedom in the country), you also admit to self-censor, etc. I don't think it is unethical to visit NK, but I do think it is unethical to not acknowledge the problem that exists in NK (which you didn't do, thankfully lol) As of now, I think you do realize/acknowledge the problem in NK, but since the media already covers it, you decided to cover the other (good) side instead, without saying the bad side is hoax/fake. I myself usually stay in the grey area on a lot of topics, but sometimes I still struggle to understand other people's standpoint (especially when it's topic I'm unfamiliar with) since I think of them black & white only. Uhhmm sorry for the long reply lol I hope you're well facing the comments on IG, safe in your tour guide job, etc. Again, huge appreciation for your honesty!
A vlog series that portrays North Korea as a “very beautiful place” is unlikely to be completely in line with reality. North Korea is known worldwide as a totalitarian regime, and the country is known to be under strict censorship and control in relation to reality. Therefore, a vlogging series that presents North Korea only in its beauty is likely to be far from reality. However, some vloggers or media outlets may present North Korea in a more appealing way by highlighting the positive aspects they see in the country or simply showing the tourist areas. However, these presentations are often far from the truth and do not provide a complete picture of the country's realities. For example, living standards in North Korea are generally low and human rights violations are frequently reported. The country's political atmosphere is also quite strict and censorship is a major problem. Therefore, a vlog series that presents North Korea only in its beauty may be significantly distorted from reality.
Smokable weed is not legal. Hemp is however. They sell it in markets there, you can see fields of it being tended to by farmers, also I believe it's common to see feral hemp in the wilderness of NK.

@@中村光貴-i9gYou gonna say the same about Israel.
Does the lady in the black pants and red top have a nametag but no Kim Il-Sung badge? I glimpsed her facing the camera for only a moment.

I don't understand why their country is closed for tourism if covid is over.

Hello friends... Is cannabis legal in Korea? Or is it illegal. Can I know by saying ..❤🎉
Smokable weed is not legal. Hemp is however. They sell it in markets there, you can see fields of it being tended to by farmers, also I believe it's common to see feral hemp in the wilderness of NK.
Of course it’s illegal, is DPRK free? Noooo
Not Korea, that is North Korea. different from Korea
What a stupid question..I don’t think they like the hippy Western trash!
@@foseball5652It is illegal in Saudi Arabia your "point" about it not being "free" is not the reason it is not legal 🤦♂️
North Koreans are so warm, loving and friendly! I love this. ❤
You'd better visit there. lol
