I like it, but I was surprised at first. By the end of 1 video I actually forgot it was a new voice lol. It fits in well, I think, but I understand why some may need some getting used to.
You keep referring to Kim Il-sung as "Sung" (earlier as "Ju"). Korean names are structured with the family name first - "Kim" is what you would call him in this context. Il-sung, Jong-il, and Jong-un are given names always said together. Calling him "Sung" would be like calling Donald Trump "Ald" or Joseph Biden "Eph". Doesn't make sense.
I know next to nothing about Korean, but I wonder whether referring to that leader as Sung might be more like referring to Trump as Don and Biden as Joe.
@@Roger_Gadd Not really, because "Sung" is the 2nd syllable of a 2 syllable name. It does happen in western culture, where someone named Albert for example prefers to go by "Bert" or William prefers "Liam", but you would never just assume that preference nor use such an informal nickname in this context.
Kinda of hard to be credible as a Korean expert if you don't even know how the names work, when you say Ju and Sung that is truly cringeworthy! Delete.
In NK his birthday is revered but the Titanic sinking is comical because limey terrorists caused the sinking and couldn't navigate the liner past an iceberg. Workers of the world unite. 🌎
Did u guys know that Kim join in actually has 3 kids his youngest is a boy so i think he will be the next leader bc his grandpa was a man and was a leader his father was man and was leader now he is maybe his youngest son might be next leader
There doesn't seem to be a Europe or whatever style, the oldest son will inherit kinda deal in NK. Seems like its the most capable of not fucking up the status que will inherit. Maybe it will be his daughter, maybe not.
The future of North Korea depends upon Kim Jong un`s health. If he passed away or became sick, unity of North Korea would be deteriorated, and it could develop into an internal war. What we need to worry about is that who would obtain nuclear arsenal.
@@ChinnuWoW I`m not sure whether Kim Jong un`s successor has a charismatic power to unite North Korea while more than 40% of North Koreans are suffering from malnutrition.
@@MrEjidorie I think they'll still remain just as authoritarian but maybe with a downwards trend over time if his successor is more empathetic. I don't think they really need charisma since they're brainwashed into believing the family is so godly. The majority of the population never even get to see the dear leader let alone hear him talk. He just needs to look cool. Kim Jong Il couldn't even speak proper Korean. What charisma did he have? The country operates on power and control, not unity.
To state a few facts: Capitalism and the United States WON the Cold War while the Soviet Union disintegrated under its own weight without a single shot being fired; Socialism is the obsolete ideology that failed miserably in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Grenada, Vietnam, North Korea, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Libya, Sri Lanka, Chile, Hungary, Nicaragua, Poland, El Salvador, Mozambique, Romania, Honduras, Mongolia, Bolivia, Afghanistan, Angola, China (which has been Capitalist in everything but name since the economic reforms of 1964 by Deng Xiaoping), Russia (of course), and everywhere else it has been tried. Capitalism continues to be the best and only option while Socialism continues to be the worst, the most failed and most lethal after having caused at least 120 million deaths in less than 90 years which would translate in more than 1 million deaths per year. BTW, how come reds keep bitching about American "imperialism" but never mention Chinese imperialism in Vietnam or North Korea? Or Soviet imperialism in Afghanistan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, East Germany or Yugoslavia? Or Cuban imperialism in Angola, Mozambique, Grenada, Nicaragua or Venezuela? Or Yugoslav imperialism in Albania? And let's finish with the Socialist prayer: If it's a Socialist atrocity, it never happened If it happened, it wasn't that bad If it was that bad, they deserved it If they didn't deserve it, mistakes might have been made If mistakes were made, that wasn't real socialism.
The Kim Family Bloodline: Kim Bo-Hyon ( 1871-1955 ) Kim Hyong-Jik ( 1894-1926) Kim Il-Sung ( 1912-1994 ) Kim Jong-Il ( 1941-2011 ) Kim Jong-Un ( 1984 - present )
Every man is a mortal being; no one stays on earth for ever, end must surely come one day, and even for a typical tyrannical President Kim Jong Un. Life is described as a "stage"
It's not so much that he was "weak" per se. President Jimmy Carter was a humanitarian, and you can't be a humanitarian while simultaneously being in charge of the most powerful country in the world. Because you don't create the most powerful country in the world by being nice about it.
Communism & monarchy are in direct opposition with each other. The Communist Manifesto was first released in 1848. It was a year of upheaval and revolutions all across Europe. The people were tired of the status quo and wanted more rights and freedoms. Marx saw all this but wanted to take it even further by eliminating monarchies and hierarchies in general along with banning private property. A supposed utopia where everyone was equal. I say this bc North Korea has formed a Communist Monarchy in all but name. Even monarchs who were absolute rulers weren’t treated as living gods. North Korea has taken both communism and monarchy to the extremes.
Any kind of government is useless if it's not run by a patriotic man who can anything to develop his nation North Korea is one of the worst outcome of dictatorship whereas china did really good with communism(it's more of a dictatorship).
:D So, is it anti-semetic to say "The Ju's control the news in North Korea" dumb joke.. sorry.. I love everyone so much, if I could.. I'd hug Kim Jong Ju and be like "Make sure your people get fed, okay buddy?" cept.. if i met him, it'd mean I was in North Korea.. and I don't foresee any encounter like that being a cheerful one... i made oatmeal cookies, with too much sugar and with coffee glaze.. Yowza. I don't know if I'll ever sleep again; at least for a couple hours.

Might make a good movie plot.
@@Roger_Gadd They should make one together
@@Roger_Gaddeven funnier (and sadder) was that Shin Sang Ok was born in the Northeast of DPRK, but became a South Korean citizen instead.
An incredible story, considering the backdrop. Yes, make this movie, someone! it will stink in Kim Jong Un's nose.
New voice feels a bit off. It will take some getting used to
You feel a bit off mate

I like this voice very much. It's so relaxing but still grasping my attention. I think it suits the history channel very well.
Thank you for fixing your mic it sounds great now , love the vid
Can’t watch this, too many errors. Can’t even be bothered to know that Kim is the last name not Ju…????!!
Another Kim Family that need a reality TV show :D
I enjoy the original voice much more. Please bring it back
the new voice is still kinda odd. But it is a second channel so fair enough i guess
Did yall realize Kim Il Sung was born the same day the Titanic was sunk?
Yeah, someone was reincarcerated
