This song reminds me of my grandma. Her favorite song

I’m guessing this is your favorite

My first expirience with Park was actually that speech you open with and I'm not an expert on North Korea, but I remember seeing a very short clip of some of her claims about north korea and im like "hold up, that sounds sus", I'm gonna look into that. I was unsurprised when I found out later she is essentially a grifter. She reminds me of a number of famous defectors, particularly defected spies from the cold war era who made all sorts of outlandish claims after their defection. In particular, Ion Mihai Pacepa, who was the highest ranking Eastern bloc defector, but who's claims in his books are widely regarded as dubious at best, such as his claims about the JFK assassination, Yasser Arafat and the Vatican. And much like Park, Pacepa became (and until his death was) a bit of a darling on the American right.

They should be bombed to the stone age

BULLSHIT!!!!

My God just reading some of these comments i think how ignorant people can be . Its propaganda.. other countries who dont bow down to the US get demonized. This dream that they makes others believe we bring "democracy" or liberty to others is purely to destabilize, for interests like resources, iraq, libya, afghanistan etc arent well off today.. its even sad some soldiers realize these things after they go off to wars.. we dont know unless we were there & we go off what we are told & we really believe that is true?.. sometimes thats really not the reality on the ground. Go & see these things for yourself.. the haircut thing sounds idiotic. & it wasnt true if 2 Australians went to NK just for a haircut & disprove that "fact". Know the difference because there are somethings that sound so outlandish youd be stupid to believe

Wow excellent, ive been looking for so long for a channel like yours. Such a fascinating topic. You do an excellent job breaking down this. I have subbed and turned on all notifications. I very much look forward to watxhing all your videos

I love your reviews ^^

Homophobes are also gays they just hate those out of the closet & don't want competiton

please make mulberry ballad😟😟😟

Being Russian, I hear myself being called a d*ck

This song is epic. Next translation when? ;)

Their world is tough, but doesn't lack determination, something I can envy

what is the intro song

Recently watched this with my wife who is from Busan. It wasnt what we expected, except for one major speech on socialist state it wasnt the propaganda fest we expected. Instead it was a very normal movie about people. We were sad at the end, hoping the captain would find more happiness in life, like her friend beyound keeping her street safe.

WE'RE DISAPPEARING WITH THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your mentioning the Korean superstition of the sea’s shoreline being a magnet for ghosts and spirits reminds me of my time when i was in the U.S.Army(01/1969 - 02/1970) stationed right on the port of Busan, spelled Pusan back then, on the Sea of Japan, our American troop ships regularly ferrying R.O.K. Army troops to and from Vietnam. During one of the summer months, a mother who’d lost her son in Vietnam, would come down to the shoreline adjacent to our Pier #3 and keen for days on end while beating on a large aluminum pan. I’d, and we assumed she was practicing what we heard was the shamanism religious practice of South Korea, not aware that this could’ve also been the shoreline superstition.

a solution for clothing or wasteland would be natural fertilizerlike human dun cole and alges from the coast. hemp would be great for seed to eat and clothingproducement. well the lack of technologie to mine the goods would be solved ir they can export more or make them more selfsuficient. maybe a farmingrevulution hemp for paper clothing eat for humans and animals. u can make land fertile with old tech from long ago civilisationen to embrace the history more they even can claim itas their own.

wonder when the northkorean explore warthunder xD there they can get awsome blueprints for new weapons i guess?

Joseon along with Juche is the way to go and they must maintain their strong military.

The one moment that stuck with me the most was from a video of a show (possibly On My Way to Meet You) that has her mom saying Yeonmi told her all the other Korean defectors in the show are lying about their experiences" which kinda tells you a bit about her character (not diagnosing anyone, just a thought) But I'd love to see the goings-on behind the scenes of these talkshows she's in. Like what did the other Korean defectors that came on the show think about her and her stories? Edit: it's 15:42

0:28 Freudian Slip?

Your hypothesis goes all over the place... In the end you say the reason for homophobia in RoK is because of christianity, but meanwhile the traditionally christian countries in the world are the ones with the biggests LGBT movements: USA, Argentina, Spain, Germany, France, etc. If any, christianity is the most open traditional culture in the world towards sexual orientation of the people

6:12 the DPRK wasn't always self reliant, before 1991 they heavily depended on the eastern bloc and USSR. That's why they have an industrial base today

Honestly, what a petty and stupid leader.

This is going on my playlist

When will you cover on the North Korean Song of the other types of "Arirang" my favorite one being "Yongchon Arirang".

damn these are GOOD urban legends

THIS IS RAD!

NK: "we're nothing like those greedy capitalists! " Also NK : *endorses not treating laborers like human beings*

No man love doesn't exists in North Korea

"There is south korean defectors in north korea" do you have a source for that??

Do you have sources?

I'm three years late to the party, but I appreciate your insight into this! I've tried to research women's rights in NK before but found a lot of the coverage to be quite dismissive of either their intelligence or their suffering, sometimes both. Great video!

Ghosts are so boring

This channel really tickles my autism. Thanks alot for making these videos

This is the first North Korean romantic (?) movie in which I feel the girl deserves the guy because he seems like an actual sweetheart. The guys in Urban Girl and Traffic Controller (altho that one isn't outritght a Romance movie) got no game 🤣

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing this beautiful song.

North Korea is a ghost story

0:49 I'm sorry but I think you meant dissidence? Dysentery is a type of gastroenteritis. Great video though.

Original research deserves more views!

In North Korea there's an urban legend that sometimes people have food...

Your research is spectacular, many CZcamsrs just copy each other or read Wikipedia. The alien story reminded me of the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast panic in America

she might be in it for more than just the money.. and in the end I think her book and coming out has been a net positive in bringing awareness to "normies" who are not so in tune with whats going on in the world to even notice how bad things are in N.korea.. so while I agree her story seems a bit exaggerated, its still doing some good... and who knows maybe she was just brainwashed by us "weasels and mice" from the western world into being obsessed with money :P

I hate the scary music it’s just so scary

1:37 I have bad news for you Monarchies are incredibly stable

0:52 oh your a anarchist

I can’t read what does it say ?

10:50 that’s more bullshit than saying North Korea has concentration camps

4:08 that’s so sad I wish my country was like North Korea : ( and now it’s too late
