Crazy....it looks like this could have been filmed today, so little has changed. At least you don't have to worry about your clothing going out of style.
North Korea had a stronger economy than both South Korea and China. It was know as the fashion capital of the east due to their strong clothes manufacturing industry. After Soviet Union collapsed in the 90's, the economy of North Korea started to collapse by 40% every single year. They had to close most of their industries due to not having access to resources from the Soviet union like fuel.
They were very, very strongly economically dependent to USSR and only thanks to soviets their economy was quite good until 1990s. Later it was just only a decline and a struggle without Soviet help.
@@jakubz3177now however they have come out of the decline and r mostly self reliant...great achievement for them in the face of stringent sanctions...

No, South Korea surpassed North Korea by the mid 1970s measured in GDP per capita. In fact, the South grew faster than the North in 1965 and given that higher growth rate they were able to first equal and then surpass the North. What I do recognize as correct is the effect the USSR's collapse had. As you mention, the North's economy went on a downwards spiral after the demise of the USSR.
This is not a rare opportunity. This is what every single tourist sees. Which is a show and only what they want you to see. It's ridiculous to say this is historic and rare.
A lot of the people in the countryside were okay, because they were able to grow their own food. Most of the deaths actually came from the bigger cities
@@arandomperson3516when the red cross brought in tons of food, it never left Pyongyang so their comments were correct. Most of the affected people lived in the country. The soil is pretty much stripped and they had no fertilizer as they depended on the ussr for that. They are using human fertilizer now and they're getting worms and parasites from it but it's all they have.
The fake train barriers? Seeing them pretend to put money so they could walk through was ???? I noticed one guy covertly put his hand to the slot to make it look like he put money in and just walked by.
nk had a much stronger economy thanks to cheap, heavily subsidized Soviet oil and fertilizer, not to mention that the USSR also happily bought their sweat shop textile products . After the collapse of USSR, the cheap oils and fertilizers were gone and they only have the chance to barter with China who has a low demand to textile goods as they already have a robust textile industry. So, in a nutshell, the NK economy before 1991 was doing Ok and it went downhill since then.
May 1995, so that means this footage will be 29 years ago soon. I hope many of these people are doing okay today and survived the famine. Truly sad what is happening to the North Korean people and not much can be done to rescue them from the Kim regime.

In a similar vein, South Korea sometimes uses loudspeakers to broadcast music and news reports to NK soldiers. The soldiers like it and even sing along to the songs, but the North Korean government is very aware that it can be damaging to their dictatorship, so they try their best to block it. At one point, the North Korean military even ordered weapons to be fired into the loudspeakers. Recently, a bunch of North Koreans were publicly executed for watching K-dramas and listening to K-pop, too. The situation is terrible, even the North Koreans know it.
the only thing that gave away that this was 1995 other than the title, and video quality, was seeing a US Army MP at the border dressed in an ERDL camouflage uniform.

I did some digging. The building you're talking about was part of the "House of Freedom" on the South Korean side. The whole HoF building was rebuilt in 1998, and the original structure (a resting point with an 8-sided roof) was moved to the right side of the current House of Freedom.

I think this footage is it recently?
Must be comfortable living in a place that never changes
This is some kind of horror, people essentially do not live, they just exist. I hope someday Korea will unite into a single country. And this mess will end.
it looks like a place eternally stuck in the 60-70s
Bez serca, bez ducha, to szkieletow ludy...
people think its 1950s
No smartphones, just people enjoying the moment.
Do you understand what a Communist Brutal Dictatorship Regime, is?
Tell me you're joking without telling me that you're joking
But the real question is how did they record? Werent they seen by kim himself😂
This is staged and set up by him to make it seem like North Korea is a great place to live
1:06:05 Ric Flair is in the audience. This is when they had a WCW show in NK
No matter which year you watch documentaries about North Korea, old or new, you get the same atmosphere, the same images, the same colors that cannot be enhanced with anything.
Why does this feel like whe you play GM_Big city on single player?
Bardzo dobry film który pozwala poznać Koreę Północną 🇰🇵
I love this greetings from Indonesia
seria interesante conocer el corea del norte profundo..
El canal @jakaparker tiene buenos videos recientes en Norte de Korea.
Algo interesante de Norte Korea es que era mas rico que China y Sur Korea asta los 90's cuando la union sovieta collapso la economia empeso a caer a 40% cada a!no.
@@r3n736 No, Corea del Sur pasó a Corea del Norte a mediados de los 70 en términos de PIB per cápita. De hecho, desde 1965 el Sur empezó a crecer más rápido que el Norte y fue gracias a ese mayor crecimiento que lograron igualar y después superar al Norte. Lo que sí reconozco que es correcto es lo del colapso de la economía del Norte. Como dices, post caída de la URSS se fueron a pique.

GDP per capita in 1990
South Korea : 6800 $
North Korea : 850 $
China : 350 $
South Korea had already surpassed North Korea in the 1970s, also SK had developed enough to host the Summer Olympics in 1980s.
North Korea, a country I’m so curious about but have no intention of actually exploring
Thanks!
Almost 30 years later and nothing has changed over there.
How long do they have to stand still like that? Cruel and heartbreaking, and all this for one family the masses suffer
I like how in the thumbnail the one official looks mortified and the other is like *wheeeeee!* It's like a North Korean Ernie and Bert.
They are in the midst of a period of great famine, and countless people have died outside of Pyongyang, and it is hard to imagine that this is the time that happened in 2000, a damned dictatorial family
how is this not marked official propaganda by NK is wild to me
Fix audio
this looks just like minimal spaces, love this
4:35 do they still have that building at centre?
I did some digging.
The building you're talking about was part of the "House of Freedom" on the South Korean side. The whole HoF building was rebuilt in 1998, and the original structure (a resting point with an 8-sided roof) was moved to the right side of the current House of Freedom.
Here's a photo of the House of Freedom, taken from the North Korean side. The 8-sided roof structure can be seen to the left.

1995? Looked more like the 1980s or something like that. And, Fun Fair? Looks more like Un-Fair
1:06:05 Is that Ric Flair on the far left!??
yes
North Korea, a country where people have to be happy, even though they are not…
Tutto il mondo capitalista e così per le classi subalterne...
People walk around without talking to each other with indifferent faces. Even in the events that are supposed to be fun everything looks empty and sad.
Also 2:15:25 wtf is doing that man there 😂
What are you talking about? Even the one part of the video you reference shows happy children singing.
@@pinedrone2550and this is enough for u?
@@Comradpetito enough for what? Am I wrong? Plenty of people all throughout he video show their happiness. Seeing everything negative says more about you than Korea.
@@pinedrone2550 🤣🤣🤣 really ? Please inform yourself about dprk , DO NOT TRUST their propaganda.
@@pinedrone2550 Children will sing if they are told to, they are too young to understand. Yes, adults look sad everywhere.
The fact that you called North Korea only "Korea" may mean either you are a regime supporter or a North Korean.
Mangdyondang funfair? Not. Its Mangdyondang Fallout 4😢
1:06:00くらい、黄長燁とアントニオ猪木映っている
後はヤマハやカシオなど日本製品も多数
1:06:03 the blond guy was a famous American wrestler, Ric Flair
DPRK should know they’re getting commercials
You can see that they are happy... they have so much of that joy that you can see in their faces...
All the kids crying
@10:19 in 3 years I'd be on the other side as a US Army Soldier watching them.
that moment when 2 south korean guards are taking photos and looking with binoculars at the cameraman lol
Its so weird that people cant just walk around pick stuff of the shelves then pay at an actual checkout
Exactly. Even the tourists, who are brought through such department stores as "guests", aren't allowed to buy most of the items like clothes or electronics.
진짜 저기서 태어나지 않은 게 천운이다.
