Alright everyone! The tourists are here, everyone to their places! Let's make them think Pyongyang is just another beautiful DPRK city, just like the rest...
I like it really! It's just like the things my parents talk about the past in east europe! Great USSR Nd all of us! Clean streets happy ppl job for everybody not like now :x
+ Майкл Gatz Очень сильно напоминает (архитектурой и тд) нашу Москву-80 (образца 1980 г - чистую, светлую, аккуратную и красивую). Pyongyang - is Very strong Similar on our russian city Moscow 1980 year. (in Soviet times)
They seem to be doing pretty well considering they've been cut off from the rest of the commercial world for such a long time. Sure, they're not going to show you the slums and poverty on these tours, but a huge proportion of of my own country (Moldova) is a total shithole, even the capital, and mind you it's a democratic republic
No graffiti. No vandalism. Everyone is safe to walk the streets. Anywhere. Anytime. It is stunning. But, the detractors will always spout the same lies to try and undermine the glorious DPRK.
***** no I know that trust me ive seen all these documentaries and videos on it. I know how tourism is there and how pretty much all the country is in decay and poverty and ruins. Still I was saying even pyongyang looks usually better then it does in previous documentaries. Im not falling for any of their lies I know quite abit about how it really is there
***** The sanctions MUST be imposed as NK has lied, and walked away from talks so many times that the UN placed even harsher sanctions. China abides by those sanction and they are NK's biggest supplier of goods that NK needs. China's major banks don't want to do business with NK because NK default on their loans, and flat out cheat those who have invested in NK. NK is the spoiled brat of Asia, and they MUST be punished through harsher sanctions. I say pray for the people of NK especially those living outside of Pyongyang those are the NK's who suffer the most, NOT those who live in Pyongyang.
Beautiful city, beautiful country. Full of revolutionary art pieces to the glory of the people, praising the anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist nature of the DPRK, the power of its defence army and the glory of its ideological leadership, the Korean Workers' Party, protecting the country from capitalist profit-war invasion and leading the country into collectivisation reforms, despite the harsh situation the DPRK has been put in since the fall of the Soviet Union and the revisionist downturn of both the Soviet Union and China. It's no wonder why the DPRK is so isolated. It must protect its revolution by any means against foreign corporatist interests. Socialist Realist art and architecture is strong and powerful, and defies the rule of money by the undeniable collective power of the working class!
**I do not support the cult of leaders and some of the DPRK's economic policies, but an isolated country that do not want to screw up its revolution must somehow pay for its defence, its pursuit of the revolution and its self-reliance (which is, like with Cuba, almost impossible to achieve without some contact with the external world).
There is a big difference to make, I think, between our capitalist interpretation of the socialist reality of the DPRK and real, historical facts, and our media play a lot on this. Mass starvation is a consequence of the 90s' crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union, because the state cannot produce enough food to sustain itself and must not open to the external world, in fear that capitalism will influence its people and make them revolt and succumb to U.S. imperialism, that will install a new U.S.-linked capitalist regime in the DPRK that will exploit its people for enrichment and make them believe in consumerism. This is also the reason of such closed borders in the DPRK; it's the idea that, as long as forces will be opposed to the socialist revolution and will try to make it fall in order to take back the land for themselves, as a market and a producing nation, there should be no "interference" with the nation. However, about what you call "mass starvation", this is going way better since the 2000s and now food production is slowly going back to its 1980s level. The Songun policy may be also a reason for this "mass starvation"; since the fall of the Soviet Union, and for the reasons I have talked about above, the DPRK has no more ally and must protect itself all alone against all of the capitalist world that will use ANY PRETEXT to invade it and to crush the regime -- that is mostly a socialist regime, with state-run and collectivized production and total redistribution of everything, with art based on educating the people, with universal services, etc. --, so the DPRK had to fun heavily its military, so that it can defend the country and persuade the enemy (the capitalist world led by the U.S.) not to invade to take it over. When I talked about invasion by market forces and influence of capitalism, that is also the reason for labour camps and lack of freedoms; there must be no interference to the collective revolution of all toward "freedom of labour" and "freedom of intelligence" from individualists, seekers of personal wealth or propagaters of indoctrination to self-construction of the mind -- for example, churches and liberal ideologies. Thus, people trying to interfer to the people's development and freedom with that must be driven out of society. However, if the ideology is followed and people really care about developing shared values, protecting collective production and gain, defending the role of the Party (that is the intellectual force of the regime), of the leaders -- which we can talk about later --, then there is space for debate. However, such regimes follow Lenin's doctrine that say that political debate must be made within the Party, and this is true that since the Party organisation is "static" in the DPRK -- it has not changed for years --, there is not a lot of space left for political debate, and it is mostly left to the credentials of the military officials, Party leader and other officials. However, there is no need for a lot of freedom of expression if your regime provides you with what you need and explains to you its policies -- through state propaganda and education. This is questionable, but the Party is supposed to represent the people's needs and aspirations to improve itself, since it is supposed to be the intellectual force of the people. We can see that most of this has changed, since the DPRK is now a defensive and self-relying force, and not a progressive force -- and the DPRK is still very traditional in its culture. Self-reliance (or Juche) is indeed the Marxist-Leninist ideology that tells that a regime can only be free in its own revolution if it is economically self-reliant, politically independent and strong in defence. About the cult of the leaders... this is something all quite intense socialist regimes (that recognize the existence of the "enemies of the people" and of the need to pursue socialism against all odds). I'm not really sure about that, but maybe in those regimes, the extensive policies of the leader make them seen as a semi-deistic figure, more than a figure of change: a figure of liberation. It may be because of the nature of the regime; one leader ideologically leads the Party into the changes it makes, and it influences the people, and the people see in this leader something like some kind of prophet of human progress and realisation, someone to pay deep respect to. Propaganda about the regime may increase it, when the regime is trying to prove its people it is there for their own sake, for the sake of the working class, and that the leader is there to liberate them further, to make their lives better and freer. You may know it already, but Kim Jong-il was a film maniac, and he knew exactly how to make film to make the people "feel" the ideology, to make them believe in socialism and reject capitalism. Art in the DPRK is pretty much about bolstering the working class and dirtying personal wealth and the search for more wealth through market wars and economical oppression. And since the Party is the leading unit of the working class, and the leader is chiefing it, then it is also bolstered. :) That is all I can say!
Great video - thank you for sharing it. There is nothing new in the DPRK - same old propaganda and backward system of government. I understand they hope to have a working elevator some day. Perhaps.
Exactly its the same thing as if you were to go visit Jones town.The tour that the DRRK reps and secret police take you on is pretty much one Big Ass facade & mirage.
Maxwell Silverhammer Oh, very cute. The elevators up to the top of the Juche tower worked just fine when I was there, as did the elevators which took me to the 32nd floor in my hotel.
Yeah, freedom to poison ourselves with fast food, buy all the latest gadgets to make our lives more meaningful, watch stimulating and uplifting TV shows, "say" whatever we want, even though it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Yay for freedom!
+Clive Lewis Freedom of choice is worth more then anything, things which you mentioned are just excuses. Nobody forbids you to travell on foot and eating from trash cans, it is your own decision that prevents you from doing that. You decided that there are some comfort and living limits, which you don`t want to give up. Those who have no freedom they have no such luxury, they will eat that they were given, they will sleep when they were told to do, and they will die when someone decides for them.
Folks, an independent research study revealed that this nation is the most harmonious society in the whole wide world. Google 'most harmonious nation/china daily forum' and see for yourself.
Yes it is a clean city because there are thousands of citizens who live in Pyongyang who must help clean the streets by hand every day. It's one thing to volunteer to keep your city clean, it's another when you are required to do that. I've been to Pyongyang and seen it for my own eyes, and as orderly and clean as it is, it's that way to fool the tourist into believing that it is such an idealistic and orderly city better then the rest of the world cities. This is a product of Stalinist ideals and teachings. Go out of Pyongyang and you'll see a whole different world. Don't believe the DPRK hype!
@@dodoboodrough6044 , yes you are absolutely right ! Never been there but seen a lot of youtube videos about North Korea. In the country side it's the totally opposite to Pyongyang. Looks like a country of 1900. Poor people who have to life there and will never see where their little benefits go to Pyongyang city. It's like East Berlin in the "DDR" before the downfall of the iron curtain. Greetings and best wishes!
@@helmutquad1960 Yes the people outside of Pyongyang are basically third class citizens, and they live harsh lives. NK government usually only shows Pyongyang because that is where most of their resources are used, and spent on. You have to be of a higher class NK to even live in that city, and there is even a class system within the city. SAD!!
@@dodoboodrough6044 Hi Bryan, oh, I didn't really know that there is a class difference between the people within Pyongyang city. The videos don't really show that. Of course not ! I thought the people in Pyongyang are all the same class and and in the line with the called " workers party ". But when I took a look at the videos I think , the people who have to clean up the streets must be in a downsized class. Is that correct? Greetings!
@@helmutquad1960 Exactly! The top class are those connected to the Government, or top military officers. They still have a lower class in Pyongyang, but it's still better then what they lowest class has to deal with in the rural areas. Most of the people in Pyongyang have nice clothes, look healthy, have nice apartments. By the way many of those apartments they show, no one lives in the higher levels because they cannot produce enough water pressure to pump water to those higher apartments. Electricity is rationed out they have many brown outs, and black outs even in Pyongyang. In the countryside, the vegetation at one time was almost totally denuded due to the fact that people needed wood for fire to heat their homes, and they were also eating most of the wild plants. In the rural areas if you can't work lets say because you broke your leg some how, you government rations are lowered until that person gets better and goes back to work, if that person doesn't get better....OH WELL TOUGH LUCK for that family. South Korea still works hard at sneaking in radio's, DVD players, DVD's, CD's, small TV's and other things like money which most NK's in the rural areas use in the black market. Without the Black Market most rural NK people would really be screwed.
Good video, so strange though.. in other videos I've seen on North Korea, they say you need permission just to enter North Korea, can't take videos or pictures and if you do, the guide or the police have to check it and depending on the video or picture, they will make you delete it. In this video there are lots of cars and other videos, there are next to none..... So I'm a bit confused, which version of North Korea is correct?
Well, you DO need visa to get to NK. About taking pic, you pretty much can take any pic/videos on tours , but tours (although are very informative and elaborate) are only options and you can't walk around yourself, without a guide. It doesn;t bother me, but i guess could be to some people.
Yes, really fantastic video! It shows how clean, peaceful and beautiful Pyongyang is! I visited a couple years ago, and it feels like I'm there again. Thanks!
Friends of the DPRK( North Korea). DPRK.Kp Mine are all short unfortunately. I filmed all day from morning until evening and put up lots of short videos, about four hundred, on my channel. You can see them if you click on my icon on the left. Please feel free to link to them if you see any ones you like!
Am i the only one who watches these guided tours thinking that just before a tour is scheduled to arrive they have loudspeakers or go around somehow and alert the people and tell them to act. Like in my head I can vision them seeing the tour bus coming and then scream AAaanndd......ACTION!
Sharmane Sanchez No, you are not the only one who thinks that. We have been conditioned in the US to think that all North Koreans are automatons who live only to worship Kim Jong-Un and the ruling elite. Read the latest book by Daniel Tudor and James Pearson: "North Korea Confidential." They explain what is happening in the DPRK right now, the good and the bad, in this excellent book. In it, they shoot down a lot of myths about the country, including: “North Koreans are mindless automatons; they can’t think for themselves and are slaves to the state.” “North Koreans know nothing of the outside world; they know and believe only what the regime tells them.” “North Korea is the world’s last holdout Communist Dictatorship. There is no market to speak of, and the private sector plays no role.” “The Kim Regime is focused only on concentrating and abusing power at the expense of its people. It is backwards, dysfunctional, and irrational.” This book recommends itself. Anyone with even a passing interest in North Korea is likely to find it captivating. To the careful reader, it is clear that Pearson and Tudor have taken pains to indicate that the vast majority of North Koreans remain poor, overworked, and oppressed. Looking at the facts on the ground, it certainly is the case that the economy has improved since the famine days, people are forcing de facto liberalizations by disregarding anachronistic laws, and the songbun caste system’s slow degradation is opening up room for an emerging middle class. The authors also shine a light on the North’s draconian penal system, the pervasive system of bribery that has saturated every nook and cranny of institutional life, and the endemic corruption at the heart of the political system. It is a measured and balanced look at North Korea, one that doesn’t shy away from the darkness or the light. Overall, the authors’ voice is refreshing, their storytelling is gripping, and their analysis is perceptive.
Less cars=less carbon in the air that's true, but NK's air in Pyongyang is full of coal carbon, and wood smoke because there isn't enough heating oil/LP gas to heat homes, so coal, and wood is used. Pyongyang sometimes has very bad pollution, but do you think for a minute they will post a video showing that? HELL NO! Pyongyang must be shown as the pristine city of the world.
E VT Actually, it is. Here is what world-famous investor Jim Rogers said this week about North Korea: "I'm very excited about North Korea. If I could put all of my money into North Korea, I would. Massive changes are taking place there. I would not have invested in Kim Jong Un's father or grandfather by any stretch of the imagination, but that's like saying that in 1980 you shouldn't invest in China because of Mao Zedong.Mao was dead and Deng Xiaoping was making huge changes. They are making huge changes in North Korea. The kid is making astonishing changes."
Seeing that Rogers would want to buy North Korea if he could doesn't make the present situation in North Korea an investors hidden gold mine. Much would have to change before anyone other then Kim and his lunatic hierarchy. North Korea has many NATURAL resources that can make many an investor's rich. The problem is Kim and his regime. Kim himself is unable to tap into many of these resources because he doesn't have the money nor the technology. Kim and hie elitist regime are too fixated on their paranoia of the outside world so most of their economy is wasted on the military. Kim Jung Un compared to his father one could say IS making changes, but those changes are only for the upper elite in the DPRK party and military, NOT the people. Before any wealth can be tapped out of NK Kim and his cronies will have to either give up power, or be removed.
GENEVA, Switzerland, March 8 (UPI) -- The United Nations Human Rights Council is expected to adopt a North Korea human rights resolution targeting the country's treatment of its people. North Korea is charged with violations that include summary executions and the rape and torture of political prisoners. According to defectors, the country is also deploying tens of thousands of forced laborers abroad to earn foreign currency for the regime. The European Union and Japan have prepared a draft resolution, and South Korea is also taking part in the proposal, Yonhap reported. The draft is to be discussed during the 31st regular session of the Human Rights Council, being held until March 24, South
No Trash on streets...... No Adverts on walls etc. I am surprised by the amount of traffic tho..... i thought cars were only for top jobs ? Its like looking at East Berlin in the 1970's or something.
+Michael Swann Recently, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has managed to increase the consumption of food products since the famine. Due to Kim Jong-Un's rapid production of industrial and agricultural institutions, numerous cities within the DPRK are beginning to possess middle-classed citizens that are capable of purchasing a cheap vehicle for an entire family. For example, a father purchases ONE vehicle that is shared amongst his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, children, wife, and close friends. Individuals are literally capable of affording a meal from a mobile restaurant, identical to a hot-dog stand. Thus, the DPRK has improved since the early and late nineties while The United States of America's middle-classed citizens are transitioning into lower-class citizens. In other terms, the roles are GRADUALLY reversing between China, the DPRK, and the West.

The problem is you should see what they want you see, you should go where they want you go. N.Korea is Earthly Heaven with Freedom for the N.K. people, at least they think so.
Matt Slawecki It was via a tour company. Not difficult, but costly and require some planning for few months ahead. As per DPRK rules you have to be on guided tour. You can just come in and walk around
Matt Slawecki Check out Young Pioneer Tours and Koryo Tours, both based in Beijing. There are trips as low as $400-$500 for 3 days and 2 nights, and with the new Chinese laws concerning visas (you can be in Beijing for 72 hours without having to pay the $200 for a double entry visa into China), it is even less expensive than it used to be. Koryo Tours still has 25 separate group tours scheduled that range from just Pyongyang to all over the entire country--contrary to popular belief in the US.
The DPRK is going forward, slow, but step by step. More cars, more businesses, over all looks better than 20 years ago. In the places off huge cement fields of nothing they should put trees. The government spends alot off $ on monuments and colossal statues.?. For the price off one they could build factories, facilities, more power plants, and so on. It is Impressive but wasteful-kind of. Why they just unite, make one Korea, it matter NONE who rules, do it for the people -I'm sure they want to. TH
+Jonathan Grunwald The DPRK produces factories, science museums, recreational centers, research facilities, and various other infrastructural institutions for the citizens of the state. For example, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea had recently opened another supermarket, an airport, a massive atom-shaped scientific research facility, five to twenty restaurants, and two other factories that were broadcasted to the international community. In the process, a large portion of the state's budget is utilized to develop nuclear weaponry and a defense system prior to the expiration of the "Chinese-DPRK Defensive Pact" in 2021. My person intends to visit the nation within the next 2-3 years.
+Jonathan Grunwald Jonathan, it is complex issue and until you see i for yourself, don;t judge DPRK. If you have some financial resource, simply book trip there and see things for yourself. Media is one thing and your own opinion is another. I live in both communist and capitalist wold and can gtell you - it is not as simple as you think.
Indeed, its the waste, importance of monumet building before people feeding, and empty sky high hotels etc that make the country such a place of hardship for most citizens there. Myself, i have no problem with a socialist regime or any political form, a perect 'way' has never been found after all. But cruelty and torture, hunger even starvation, a forced politic, and a country run by such people should not be allowed in todays world. Where is the rest of the world when all these people are repressed, where are the western powers now, they were very quick to invade Iraq because of Saddams regime but that country was a paradise and easy living compared to the DPRK!
Chris Danns The DPRK produces factories, science museums, recreational centers, research facilities, and various other infrastructural institutions for the citizens of the state.

Chris Danns The DPRK is beginning to develop a middle-class population within numerous cities throughout the state while The United States of America's middle-class population is decreasing at a rapid rate due to income-inequality. One should note that propaganda is just a prevalent within The United States of America as the DPRK.
+ALBERTPORTAL well i live in London, at night in my very street and all over London i hear and see foxes, just outside Buckingham Palace we have a huge lake full of Swans, Geese, Turns, Ducks. Almost every tree in London has Grey Squirels, there are so many they are considered a pest. Ive seen Owls on many an occasion, birds of prey too. In my garden i have a resident Robin...i could go on. This is exactly why i made the comment, its strange to me not see wildlife even though i live in a massive urban area called London.
I wonder why North Koreans are too short compare to South Koreans. I heard tht South Koreans r the tallest Asians but why North Koreans too short and skinny?
+Benjamin Jarvis During the famine in the late eighties and early nineties, subjects were extremely malnourished to the extent that it had stunted an entire generation's growth. However, subjects are beginning to consume a bit more nutritional meals due to the formation of a "middle-classed" society within Pyongyang and various other fairly developed cities within the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Puncl ALIG Alright it is already the future since I asked you if you have ever been to NK, and I didn't see you there, so where were you? Wait now is the future, no wait now is the future...DAMN! How far in the future will I have to look into to see if you have ever been to NK? You see everything we do is in the present, so to see in the future is impossible.So let's deal with the present and I ask you again have you ever been to NK? If you have never been there then I'd say you don't have much validity to your comments. I've been there in the past, and I have seen it with my eyes in the present which is now the past. NK IS very good at propaganda, much better then the United States ever has been, that's why they are able to diguise, and fake things to fool their own people and the rest of the outside world. Oh and did you here that the UN has introduced a motion to hold Kim Jung Un responsible for the crimes of inhumanity against his own people, and he will be solely responsible when the day comes when the NK stand up for their human rights and dispose of this FAT USELESS DEMIGOD. FYI
Armindo Ribeiro Yeah, because brainwashing isn't the method the majority of communist countries have used to control their population (this is true in particular for North Korea). I'm not brain-dead, my friend, i know what i'm talking about... And you should, too. Unless, ofcourse, you are the one who has been brainwashed here.
TheIceWarrior So basically what you're saying is: "I know you are, but what am I", right? I'm not saying there isn't legitimate criticism to be made towards the DPRK, but your statement is just plain stupid if you really think about it. The "actors" part, of course. It's no secret many koreans don't have cars.
Armindo Ribeiro Well, my first comment wasn't really too serious, but if you think about that, it isn't out of place for North Korea... I mean, they have even built a fake city for propaganda.
That's pretty typical for Pyongyang, although, like in nearly all countries, even very rich ones, the rural areas are much poorer. Difference is as far as anyone can tell, the government assigns jobs and housing there.

Alright everyone! The tourists are here, everyone to their places! Let's make them think Pyongyang is just another beautiful DPRK city, just like the rest...
Great video! Went myself in March so this takes me right back. :)
Probably the cleanest city in the world.

the city looks remarkably clean hardly see any litter around
Probably because a) they have nothing to discard anyway and b) ladies with brushes clean streets early mornings. Thats happy full employment for you.
No graffiti. No vandalism. Everyone is safe to walk the streets. Anywhere. Anytime. It is stunning. But, the detractors will always spout the same lies to try and undermine the glorious DPRK.
actually doesnt look too bad. The city looks alot more modern and stable then it did before in other videos and nice cars and alot more traffic...

The sanctions MUST be imposed as NK has lied, and walked away from talks so many times that the UN placed even harsher sanctions. China abides by those sanction and they are NK's biggest supplier of goods that NK needs. China's major banks don't want to do business with NK because NK default on their loans, and flat out cheat those who have invested in NK. NK is the spoiled brat of Asia, and they MUST be punished through harsher sanctions. I say pray for the people of NK especially those living outside of Pyongyang those are the NK's who suffer the most, NOT those who live in Pyongyang.
Beautiful city, beautiful country. Full of revolutionary art pieces to the glory of the people, praising the anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist nature of the DPRK, the power of its defence army and the glory of its ideological leadership, the Korean Workers' Party, protecting the country from capitalist profit-war invasion and leading the country into collectivisation reforms, despite the harsh situation the DPRK has been put in since the fall of the Soviet Union and the revisionist downturn of both the Soviet Union and China. It's no wonder why the DPRK is so isolated. It must protect its revolution by any means against foreign corporatist interests. Socialist Realist art and architecture is strong and powerful, and defies the rule of money by the undeniable collective power of the working class!
**I do not support the cult of leaders and some of the DPRK's economic policies, but an isolated country that do not want to screw up its revolution must somehow pay for its defence, its pursuit of the revolution and its self-reliance (which is, like with Cuba, almost impossible to achieve without some contact with the external world).
There is a big difference to make, I think, between our capitalist interpretation of the socialist reality of the DPRK and real, historical facts, and our media play a lot on this. Mass starvation is a consequence of the 90s' crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union, because the state cannot produce enough food to sustain itself and must not open to the external world, in fear that capitalism will influence its people and make them revolt and succumb to U.S. imperialism, that will install a new U.S.-linked capitalist regime in the DPRK that will exploit its people for enrichment and make them believe in consumerism. This is also the reason of such closed borders in the DPRK; it's the idea that, as long as forces will be opposed to the socialist revolution and will try to make it fall in order to take back the land for themselves, as a market and a producing nation, there should be no "interference" with the nation. However, about what you call "mass starvation", this is going way better since the 2000s and now food production is slowly going back to its 1980s level. The Songun policy may be also a reason for this "mass starvation"; since the fall of the Soviet Union, and for the reasons I have talked about above, the DPRK has no more ally and must protect itself all alone against all of the capitalist world that will use ANY PRETEXT to invade it and to crush the regime -- that is mostly a socialist regime, with state-run and collectivized production and total redistribution of everything, with art based on educating the people, with universal services, etc. --, so the DPRK had to fun heavily its military, so that it can defend the country and persuade the enemy (the capitalist world led by the U.S.) not to invade to take it over. When I talked about invasion by market forces and influence of capitalism, that is also the reason for labour camps and lack of freedoms; there must be no interference to the collective revolution of all toward "freedom of labour" and "freedom of intelligence" from individualists, seekers of personal wealth or propagaters of indoctrination to self-construction of the mind -- for example, churches and liberal ideologies. Thus, people trying to interfer to the people's development and freedom with that must be driven out of society. However, if the ideology is followed and people really care about developing shared values, protecting collective production and gain, defending the role of the Party (that is the intellectual force of the regime), of the leaders -- which we can talk about later --, then there is space for debate. However, such regimes follow Lenin's doctrine that say that political debate must be made within the Party, and this is true that since the Party organisation is "static" in the DPRK -- it has not changed for years --, there is not a lot of space left for political debate, and it is mostly left to the credentials of the military officials, Party leader and other officials. However, there is no need for a lot of freedom of expression if your regime provides you with what you need and explains to you its policies -- through state propaganda and education. This is questionable, but the Party is supposed to represent the people's needs and aspirations to improve itself, since it is supposed to be the intellectual force of the people. We can see that most of this has changed, since the DPRK is now a defensive and self-relying force, and not a progressive force -- and the DPRK is still very traditional in its culture. Self-reliance (or Juche) is indeed the Marxist-Leninist ideology that tells that a regime can only be free in its own revolution if it is economically self-reliant, politically independent and strong in defence. About the cult of the leaders... this is something all quite intense socialist regimes (that recognize the existence of the "enemies of the people" and of the need to pursue socialism against all odds). I'm not really sure about that, but maybe in those regimes, the extensive policies of the leader make them seen as a semi-deistic figure, more than a figure of change: a figure of liberation. It may be because of the nature of the regime; one leader ideologically leads the Party into the changes it makes, and it influences the people, and the people see in this leader something like some kind of prophet of human progress and realisation, someone to pay deep respect to. Propaganda about the regime may increase it, when the regime is trying to prove its people it is there for their own sake, for the sake of the working class, and that the leader is there to liberate them further, to make their lives better and freer. You may know it already, but Kim Jong-il was a film maniac, and he knew exactly how to make film to make the people "feel" the ideology, to make them believe in socialism and reject capitalism. Art in the DPRK is pretty much about bolstering the working class and dirtying personal wealth and the search for more wealth through market wars and economical oppression. And since the Party is the leading unit of the working class, and the leader is chiefing it, then it is also bolstered. :) That is all I can say!
Yes... Socialist Realism is cool art work to look at. A shame they are slowly disappearing in what is left of the "Socialist World".
So Gabrail when was the last time you were in NK?
Gabriel is so funny:) Don't think he really believes that. It's cool though to say weird things like that to get a raise from readers of his comment.
Thank You For sharing this Video
Fascinating video, great to see. Though we ended up taking a shot every time Random Blonde Lady ended up the focus of the shot
Can't wait to visit..greetings from italy
Very peaceful video. Thnx a lot.
Great video - thank you for sharing it. There is nothing new in the DPRK - same old propaganda and backward system of government. I understand they hope to have a working elevator some day. Perhaps.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Exactly its the same thing as if you were to go visit Jones town.The tour that the DRRK reps and secret police take you on is pretty much one Big Ass facade & mirage.
Maxwell Silverhammer Oh, very cute. The elevators up to the top of the Juche tower worked just fine when I was there, as did the elevators which took me to the 32nd floor in my hotel.
The colour grading is so heavy its ruined the video quality, shadows and highlights are clipping so badly I can hardly make out of any details
looks better than Detroit
Un Sinn Kim LOL
Un Sinn Kim The Los Angeles County Dump looks better than Detroit.
Yeah, freedom to poison ourselves with fast food, buy all the latest gadgets to make our lives more meaningful, watch stimulating and uplifting TV shows, "say" whatever we want, even though it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Yay for freedom!
+Clive Lewis
Freedom of choice is worth more then anything, things which you mentioned are just excuses.
Nobody forbids you to travell on foot and eating from trash cans, it is your own decision that prevents you from doing that. You decided that there are some comfort and living limits, which you don`t want to give up.
Those who have no freedom they have no such luxury, they will eat that they were given, they will sleep when they were told to do, and they will die when someone decides for them.
+Un Sinn Kim Noo, no not Detroit! lol
Good video but the volume is too soft, can't hear anything most of the time...
Folks, an independent research study revealed that this nation is the most harmonious society in the whole wide world. Google 'most harmonious nation/china daily forum' and see for yourself.
I love the helicopter from MASH
and clean city too...people are seemed so desciplined
Yes it is a clean city because there are thousands of citizens who live in Pyongyang who must help clean the streets by hand every day. It's one thing to volunteer to keep your city clean, it's another when you are required to do that. I've been to Pyongyang and seen it for my own eyes, and as orderly and clean as it is, it's that way to fool the tourist into believing that it is such an idealistic and orderly city better then the rest of the world cities. This is a product of Stalinist ideals and teachings. Go out of Pyongyang and you'll see a whole different world. Don't believe the DPRK hype!
@@dodoboodrough6044 , yes you are absolutely right ! Never been there but seen a lot of youtube videos about North Korea. In the country side it's the totally opposite to Pyongyang. Looks like a country of 1900. Poor people who have to life there and will never see where their little benefits go to Pyongyang city. It's like East Berlin in the "DDR" before the downfall of the iron curtain.
Greetings and best wishes!
@@helmutquad1960 Yes the people outside of Pyongyang are basically third class citizens, and they live harsh lives. NK government usually only shows Pyongyang because that is where most of their resources are used, and spent on. You have to be of a higher class NK to even live in that city, and there is even a class system within the city. SAD!!
@@dodoboodrough6044 Hi Bryan, oh, I didn't really know that there is a class difference between the people within Pyongyang city. The videos don't really show that. Of course not ! I thought the people in Pyongyang are all the same class and and in the line with the called " workers
party ". But when I took a look at the videos I think , the people who have to clean up the streets must be in a downsized class. Is that correct?
Greetings!
@@helmutquad1960 Exactly! The top class are those connected to the Government, or top military officers. They still have a lower class in Pyongyang, but it's still better then what they lowest class has to deal with in the rural areas. Most of the people in Pyongyang have nice clothes, look healthy, have nice apartments. By the way many of those apartments they show, no one lives in the higher levels because they cannot produce enough water pressure to pump water to those higher apartments. Electricity is rationed out they have many brown outs, and black outs even in Pyongyang. In the countryside, the vegetation at one time was almost totally denuded due to the fact that people needed wood for fire to heat their homes, and they were also eating most of the wild plants. In the rural areas if you can't work lets say because you broke your leg some how, you government rations are lowered until that person gets better and goes back to work, if that person doesn't get better....OH WELL TOUGH LUCK for that family. South Korea still works hard at sneaking in radio's, DVD players, DVD's, CD's, small TV's and other things like money which most NK's in the rural areas use in the black market. Without the Black Market most rural NK people would really be screwed.
this is so much better then what t.v allows me to know.
Wow, it's like taking a time machine back 50 years to the world's biggest museum.
we put again this video on our progamme
Looks like a fair few of old cars driving around... The busses look cool.
Glory to the eternal and majestic DPRK
❤🇰🇵💪
Good video, so strange though.. in other videos I've seen on North Korea, they say you need permission just to enter North Korea, can't take videos or pictures and if you do, the guide or the police have to check it and depending on the video or picture, they will make you delete it. In this video there are lots of cars and other videos, there are next to none..... So I'm a bit confused, which version of North Korea is correct?
Well, you DO need visa to get to NK. About taking pic, you pretty much can take any pic/videos on tours , but tours (although are very informative and elaborate) are only options and you can't walk around yourself, without a guide. It doesn;t bother me, but i guess could be to some people.
Hello To Everyone From Deep Space 87 in The Delta Quadrant
nice video film
Friends of the DPRK( North Korea). DPRK.Kp Thanks. Somehow colors and brightness are off. I will see if you can rerender and reupload it.
Yes, really fantastic video! It shows how clean, peaceful and beautiful Pyongyang is! I visited a couple years ago, and it feels like I'm there again. Thanks!
North Korea Vagabond do you have any good long videos for our friends of the DPRK
Friends of the DPRK( North Korea). DPRK.Kp Mine are all short unfortunately. I filmed all day from morning until evening and put up lots of short videos, about four hundred, on my channel. You can see them if you click on my icon on the left. Please feel free to link to them if you see any ones you like!
North Korea Vagabond Mainse
nice ,thanks.
Am i the only one who watches these guided tours thinking that just before a tour is scheduled to arrive they have loudspeakers or go around somehow and alert the people and tell them to act. Like in my head I can vision them seeing the tour bus coming and then scream AAaanndd......ACTION!
Sharmane Sanchez No, you are not the only one who thinks that. We have been conditioned in the US to think that all North Koreans are automatons who live only to worship Kim Jong-Un and the ruling elite. Read the latest book by Daniel Tudor and James Pearson: "North Korea Confidential." They explain what is happening in the DPRK right now, the good and the bad, in this excellent book. In it, they shoot down a lot of myths about the country, including: “North Koreans are mindless automatons; they can’t think for themselves and are slaves to the state.” “North Koreans know nothing of the outside world; they know and believe only what the regime tells them.” “North Korea is the world’s last holdout Communist Dictatorship. There is no market to speak of, and the private sector plays no role.” “The Kim Regime is focused only on concentrating and abusing power at the expense of its people. It is backwards, dysfunctional, and irrational.”
This book recommends itself. Anyone with even a passing interest in North Korea is likely to find it captivating. To the careful reader, it is clear that Pearson and Tudor have taken pains to indicate that the vast majority of North Koreans remain poor, overworked, and oppressed. Looking at the facts on the ground, it certainly is the case that the economy has improved since the famine days, people are forcing de facto liberalizations by disregarding anachronistic laws, and the songbun caste system’s slow degradation is opening up room for an emerging middle class. The authors also shine a light on the North’s draconian penal system, the pervasive system of bribery that has saturated every nook and cranny of institutional life, and the endemic corruption at the heart of the political system. It is a measured and balanced look at North Korea, one that doesn’t shy away from the darkness or the light. Overall, the authors’ voice is refreshing, their storytelling is gripping, and their analysis is perceptive.
Познавательно
if scientology was a country it will be north korea
The tense on this is wrong.

Thanks fore the film
Красивый город.
Камера огонь.
Именно камера не айс) Светочувствительность и цветопередача ниже плинтуса. Хотя я думаю это оператор ей так голову накрутил,судя по его чавканью)
nice video quite informative, but leave out the chewing noise quite distracting at least on headphones.
north korea has clean and fresh air no carbon dioxide bec. less cars are running.
Less cars=less carbon in the air that's true, but NK's air in Pyongyang is full of coal carbon, and wood smoke because there isn't enough heating oil/LP gas to heat homes, so coal, and wood is used. Pyongyang sometimes has very bad pollution, but do you think for a minute they will post a video showing that? HELL NO! Pyongyang must be shown as the pristine city of the world.
that economy must be booming
Starvation is also good, because, well you know, there is no need to poop and stuff.
E VT Actually, it is. Here is what world-famous investor Jim Rogers said this week about North Korea: "I'm very excited about North Korea. If I could put all of my money into North Korea, I would. Massive changes are taking place there. I would not have invested in Kim Jong Un's father or grandfather by any stretch of the imagination, but that's like saying that in 1980 you shouldn't invest in China because of Mao Zedong.Mao was dead and Deng Xiaoping was making huge changes. They are making huge changes in North Korea. The kid is making astonishing changes."
Seeing that Rogers would want to buy North Korea if he could doesn't make the present situation in North Korea an investors hidden gold mine. Much would have to change before anyone other then Kim and his lunatic hierarchy. North Korea has many NATURAL resources that can make many an investor's rich. The problem is Kim and his regime. Kim himself is unable to tap into many of these resources because he doesn't have the money nor the technology. Kim and hie elitist regime are too fixated on their paranoia of the outside world so most of their economy is wasted on the military. Kim Jung Un compared to his father one could say IS making changes, but those changes are only for the upper elite in the DPRK party and military, NOT the people. Before any wealth can be tapped out of NK Kim and his cronies will have to either give up power, or be removed.

Cool video
Cool. Did you fly in or train?
Fly from China
No Trash on streets...... No Adverts on walls etc. I am surprised by the amount of traffic tho..... i thought cars were only for top jobs ?
Its like looking at East Berlin in the 1970's or something.
+Michael Swann Recently, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has managed to increase the consumption of food products since the famine. Due to Kim Jong-Un's rapid production of industrial and agricultural institutions, numerous cities within the DPRK are beginning to possess middle-classed citizens that are capable of purchasing a cheap vehicle for an entire family. For example, a father purchases ONE vehicle that is shared amongst his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, children, wife, and close friends.
Individuals are literally capable of affording a meal from a mobile restaurant, identical to a hot-dog stand. Thus, the DPRK has improved since the early and late nineties while The United States of America's middle-classed citizens are transitioning into lower-class citizens. In other terms, the roles are GRADUALLY reversing between China, the DPRK, and the West.
Look how empty the streets are. How spooky.
looks clean
45:57 this T-shirt...
Look at all that office space & accomodation North Korea can't afford to occupy.
Knowing the restrictions on tourists, don't understand why anyone would want to visit NK. Won't give full title, because democratic it ain't.

The problem is you should see what they want you see, you should go where they want you go.
N.Korea is Earthly Heaven with Freedom for the N.K. people, at least they think so.
+SUNGCHUL LEE How do you know it?
How do you arrange such trip?
Matt Slawecki It was via a tour company. Not difficult, but costly and require some planning for few months ahead. As per DPRK rules you have to be on guided tour. You can just come in and walk around
ALBERTPORTAL what are the cost about ?
okocha übersteiger To my best recollection was about $2200, not including air. I purchase it from Regent Holidays, UK company.
ALBERTPORTAL Thank you
Matt Slawecki Check out Young Pioneer Tours and Koryo Tours, both based in Beijing. There are trips as low as $400-$500 for 3 days and 2 nights, and with the new Chinese laws concerning visas (you can be in Beijing for 72 hours without having to pay the $200 for a double entry visa into China), it is even less expensive than it used to be. Koryo Tours still has 25 separate group tours scheduled that range from just Pyongyang to all over the entire country--contrary to popular belief in the US.
The DPRK is going forward, slow, but step by step. More cars, more businesses, over all looks better than 20 years ago. In the places off huge cement fields of nothing they should put trees. The government spends alot off $ on monuments and colossal statues.?. For the price off one they could build factories, facilities, more power plants, and so on. It is Impressive but wasteful-kind of. Why they just unite, make one Korea, it matter NONE who rules, do it for the people -I'm sure they want to. TH
+Jonathan Grunwald The DPRK produces factories, science museums, recreational centers, research facilities, and various other infrastructural institutions for the citizens of the state. For example, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea had recently opened another supermarket, an airport, a massive atom-shaped scientific research facility, five to twenty restaurants, and two other factories that were broadcasted to the international community.
In the process, a large portion of the state's budget is utilized to develop nuclear weaponry and a defense system prior to the expiration of the "Chinese-DPRK Defensive Pact" in 2021.
My person intends to visit the nation within the next 2-3 years.
+Jonathan Grunwald Jonathan, it is complex issue and until you see i for yourself, don;t judge DPRK. If you have some financial resource, simply book trip there and see things for yourself. Media is one thing and your own opinion is another. I live in both communist and capitalist wold and can gtell you - it is not as simple as you think.
Indeed, its the waste, importance of monumet building before people feeding, and empty sky high hotels etc that make the country such a place of hardship for most citizens there. Myself, i have no problem with a socialist regime or any political form, a perect 'way' has never been found after all. But cruelty and torture, hunger even starvation, a forced politic, and a country run by such people should not be allowed in todays world. Where is the rest of the world when all these people are repressed, where are the western powers now, they were very quick to invade Iraq because of Saddams regime but that country was a paradise and easy living compared to the DPRK!

Chris Danns The DPRK is beginning to develop a middle-class population within numerous cities throughout the state while The United States of America's middle-class population is decreasing at a rapid rate due to income-inequality.
One should note that propaganda is just a prevalent within The United States of America as the DPRK.
You never see any wildlife in DPRK videos....not a bird even, hear them tweeting a little but nothing else....the place seems dead?
+Chris Danns Do you see lot of wild life in NY or London?
+ALBERTPORTAL Yes you can
+rich6421 really? I have been in both and didn't see any, except a birds
+ALBERTPORTAL well i live in London, at night in my very street and all over London i hear and see foxes, just outside Buckingham Palace we have a huge lake full of Swans, Geese, Turns, Ducks. Almost every tree in London has Grey Squirels, there are so many they are considered a pest. Ive seen Owls on many an occasion, birds of prey too. In my garden i have a resident Robin...i could go on. This is exactly why i made the comment, its strange to me not see wildlife even though i live in a massive urban area called London.
Chris Danns We have those in Boston also Hawks, wild turkeys and occasional deer and coyote, In NK they would eat them along with pets
Nice traffic.
even looks clean and really civilized.
what? i see the Lexus car at 13:44
They need to play darude sandstorm to North Koreans.
DUDE. I cant see the church in north korea.
WHERE IS THE CHURCH IN NORTH KOREA ??
bad camera...fps su*k hard!
cant wach it burns eyes...
I wonder why North Koreans are too short compare to South Koreans. I heard tht South Koreans r the tallest Asians but why North Koreans too short and skinny?
+Benjamin Jarvis due to diet
+Benjamin Jarvis During the famine in the late eighties and early nineties, subjects were extremely malnourished to the extent that it had stunted an entire generation's growth. However, subjects are beginning to consume a bit more nutritional meals due to the formation of a "middle-classed" society within Pyongyang and various other fairly developed cities within the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Ever seen a city so deserted? Abnormal to say the least.

the orange hair lady is so damn hot ... :X:X:X
Julie Andrews, eat your heart out.
good video, much better than amerika made their propaganda about korea
Really and how's that? Have you been to NK? Please elaborate more?
No need to, u will see in future then ask me again.
Puncl ALIG
Alright it is already the future since I asked you if you have ever been to NK, and I didn't see you there, so where were you? Wait now is the future, no wait now is the future...DAMN! How far in the future will I have to look into to see if you have ever been to NK? You see everything we do is in the present, so to see in the future is impossible.So let's deal with the present and I ask you again have you ever been to NK? If you have never been there then I'd say you don't have much validity to your comments. I've been there in the past, and I have seen it with my eyes in the present which is now the past. NK IS very good at propaganda, much better then the United States ever has been, that's why they are able to diguise, and fake things to fool their own people and the rest of the outside world. Oh and did you here that the UN has introduced a motion to hold Kim Jung Un responsible for the crimes of inhumanity against his own people, and he will be solely responsible when the day comes when the NK stand up for their human rights and dispose of this FAT USELESS DEMIGOD. FYI
America is brainwashing us to think that NK is bad.
kar muts: Is that the best you can conjure up? Come on give it another try you can come up with something..............NAH! I don't think so. :b
That lady is hot.
god bless the free world !
what do you mean free world?
Guess those cars are all driven by actors or NK actors... Nice propaganda you got there, Kim
TheIceWarrior Nice brainwashing you got there.
Armindo Ribeiro Yeah, because brainwashing isn't the method the majority of communist countries have used to control their population (this is true in particular for North Korea). I'm not brain-dead, my friend, i know what i'm talking about... And you should, too. Unless, ofcourse, you are the one who has been brainwashed here.
TheIceWarrior So basically what you're saying is: "I know you are, but what am I", right? I'm not saying there isn't legitimate criticism to be made towards the DPRK, but your statement is just plain stupid if you really think about it. The "actors" part, of course. It's no secret many koreans don't have cars.
Armindo Ribeiro Well, my first comment wasn't really too serious, but if you think about that, it isn't out of place for North Korea... I mean, they have even built a fake city for propaganda.
TheIceWarrior I'm not so sure about that. Why would they even need to do that?
they look pretty well to me, not like it's a 3rd world country at all
they look fairly well developed!!
That's pretty typical for Pyongyang, although, like in nearly all countries, even very rich ones, the rural areas are much poorer. Difference is as far as anyone can tell, the government assigns jobs and housing there.
