Thank you for showing the world our superior and glorious stores
How's your Harem going?
I am ashamed that our American stores are like cockroach dung heaps compared to your superior and glorious North Korean stores.
Are you Real Kim Jong-Un?
@@noobmaster936 bahaha haha
@@noobmaster936 wahhh gawatt
for some reasons I'm obsessed with these North Korea videos.
Me too lol
somehow I am too, I think that I was a North Korean in another life :)
It’s cool to see what living in a cult of personality is like
bc socialism is the better system
Bizarre world over there
This feels exactly like the department store of 90s in my hometown in China: everything in glass shelf, with a paper price tag, clean concrete floor, dull lighting, more service counter than customers. I was a kid back then and it kinda scares me to walk in. Think about how much my life has changed, this almost feels happened in my past life.
And in the 90s we had even worse)
It reminds of me of any Importation Store in Spain
But It looks like an Andorra style mall
This story fits almost any socialistic country. In Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine and other ex soviet republics you can find this kind of stores ( but with more customers )
Same in Russia in the 70s. A big ass store with more workers that are bored than actually customers. I guess that’s why it fell apart
@@king1odin760 Spain isnt socialistas and have thia stylw
That was the longest cash register transaction I have ever seen
She was saying that they didnt have enough money to give back in cash, so she offered to give it back in RMB
I think he got jipped personally, she gave him crappy exchange rate
@@whitealliance9540 remember she's only an employee she has to follow the rules of the company when it comes to the exchange rate
@@robertsilva8097 there is no company. Just government' property
@@faisal230I was about to say. lol
What really trips me out is the absence of music almost everywhere.
Because companies use music to psychologically manipulate you into buying more. North Korea doesn't need such.
The store is stunning enough! You dont need any music when visiting the finest cathedrals! This is an awesome hyper store, nothing similar you can find in Europe or the USA!!
@@AodhMacAuliffe I never knew that, lol probably cz it doesn't work on me. Lol
@@SkaterOrnez I mean nk torture would most likely brain wash you
thank God - in the west the music is fkin annoying
The store kinda has a 50's downtown store mixed with 80's mall look to it.
Alexandr sall,esti din Romania?
Much of North Korea looks stuck in the 80s (also probably because it is)
You can blame that on its mostly, let's say, "soviet" design that the country has adopted since its foundation.
I was thinking the same. Then I remember how NK has a lot of outdated stuff
They always seemed like they were stuck in the 50s to me because that's when they became isolated from the world.
I'm from Bulgaria and I remember when I was a kid the atmosphere here was very similar. I feel nostalgic about those times, socialism was over but the feeling of it didn't disappear till 1996-1999.
It was so quiet you can almost hear the clouds in the sky.
И аз съм от България
i think most people here are crazy, because i remember when i was a kid it was the same thing here in mexico and we were not communists. Theres just so much stuff now in the stores that feels overwhelming. Too much china made crap for sure. 😅
The atmosphere in this video somewhat reminds me of my childhood here in Russia, when the soviet regime has collapsed, but the retail industry didn’t adapt yet and still used soviet-style uniforms for the workers, signs and overall dull design choices contrasting with vibrant products on the shelves. Quite nostalgic!
The uniforms here in the UK are very interesting (although I have no idea what they look like because I don't look at them) but the shelves are empty and groceries are unaffordable, also no eggs. Maybe this is more your thing, come and enjoy it.

Supreme Leader did u CZcams force you to change name ?
skull@@Redstripe921
Reminds me of early 2000's Beijing. 😢
They're like NPCs in the background, nobody is actually shopping except him, so weird
Its all fake. Those are all holograms
I'm pretty sure he's in an area for diplomats
Did you even watch the video? It clearly shows other people buying stuff...
Are our supermarkets full of people 24/7? People gotta go to work, gotta go eat lunch, go home and take care of kids etc. No supermarket on anywhere in the world is crowded all the time lol.
They pay 10,000$ to stage everyone every time a foreigner wants to buy 6$ worth of stuff.
I love these videos, but I would love to be able to understand the conversation between the parties. Think about adding subtitles in the future.
Thanks for another insight on NK
I think its bc it only upload like an hrs ago so theres no subtitles, i can tell you what they talkin bout tho since i speak bahasa myself :)
I've been watching Mr. Parker for years, and I have said the same thing all along. Obv some people are in on the show, notice that him and the woman behind the service counter were bantering in English of all things.... i get the impression that if u know English in NK, and u are working retail. You are either in show biz, or the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK.
I obviously understand that it's probably not easy to upload these videos, not only security wise (I'd assume) but because of a lack of a good internet connection or a connection at all. So time urges when uploading the content and maybe there's not enough time to write subtitles
At least for me, and I guess to a lot of other people that have a deep curiosity regarding North Korea, one of the most interesting things to see is the interaction between two parties because a genuine interaction will go a long way in terms of us understanding what a real North Korean is like when not under pressure from a state-sponsored minder like we see in the majority of the videos out there.
And although the video is great, keep in mind that without the understanding of said interaction, we're pretty much just looking at a NK store while a dude buys tea and tries to get a good deal on tissue papers.
From what I see out there in terms of content about NK, and prove me wrong if you can, Parker's videos are the most truthful and the most up-close we have when it comes to the people in North Korea. the most genuine at least, although I also understand that he gets special treatment being a foreigner
@@JackG79 thats pretty paranoid my man, the know english because this is a ultra high end store where only elite and foreigners shop.
JackG79 Everything is in state security in that place
유툽 알고리즘 타고 와서 영상들 봤는데 조마조마하지만 재밌네요ㅎㅎ 몇년전 영상이긴 하지만 북한 백화점은 이렇구나, 쓰는 단어들은 이렇구나 재밌게 구경했습니다😊👍
Fun fact : this dude and her wife in the end are arguing about where's my wallet?! lmao
I believe this guy is well connected, I think his wife works for a foreign government. He has a car (not many do in NK) and he's been posting these videos for years and isn't in a gulag.
@@Gigacyy it's not tho. It's the intended use for the word gulag and not used in a joking manner as NK has plenty of them. VanCleef when are you gonna level past 21?
This channel is propaganda, to put it bluntly.
He's an Indonesian diplomat in Pyongyang.
@@-baldvegeta no, he works at the Embassy
I'd like to apologize to everyone here for spreading misinformation
The propaganda about North Korea is unfounded; it is a beautiful place, with beautiful leaders and people. The mass media network loves to slander them and Belarus. I realize this now, and will not be deleting my earlier comments.
It's been a long time since you uploaded a video, congratulations on today's video!
Love your videos - thank you.
If you think about it, they do a good job doing conversions and calculations. The cashiers have to be on top of their math and cash handling to accommodate all types of currency.
Love your NK videos, they offer a different perspective. (must be old video, snow on ground, current temp in Pyongyang 29 'C)
*Wow the no music silence, children are perfectly behave no noise or talking, plus every one wearing thick jackets, means no heating service, it must be freezing in that place.*
Shops aren't exactly Saunas in most countries
I also wear thick jackets inside stores during winter... like everyone else. Where would you put them anyways?
8:00 Look there is a children
In Serbia, you can wear T-Shirt and walk in supermarket while it's snowing outside. Maxi supermarket has the best vent system/air conditioning. It's warm during winter, chill in summer.
@@laris.official Da...veoma
Love these videos! It's so interesting to see how things function in North Korea. It's quite comfy for some reason, and makes me feel a bit drowsy when I watch these videos. 😊
you probably get ASMR from it, I do
Doing that tonight this guy is so chill
i really like the inside look into NK :) looks like a PRIOR department store back in the days of Czechoslovakia just bit upgraded
Wow I came to your channel last week to see if you had posted anything new lately, and you must have posted this right after. Awesome to see you’re still in Pyongyang and documenting it for people like me who are fascinated by it.
He's no longer in North Korea by the way. This is just an old footage.
Let's go there and settle if you want
oh my God youre back, glad to see you posting again
I want to thank you and your wife for taking your time and helping this worker
Mas Jaka,kasih subtitle mas,pada ngerengek tuh temen² kita dari luar wkwkwk
baru sekali ikuti acara Live, saran nih om, kalau acara live kayak tadi jangan lupa beli power bank untuk chas hp, mohon maaf bila tidak berkenan
It's weird nobody else is actually buying stuff except for him.
You clearly didn’t see the video or you are just lying
No money
Watch the video, idiot
Just like in western countries. Most people go to a mall to walk around maybe try some things or look for sales but it doesn't mean that if you go to a mall you gotta buy something. There's a small percentage that actually goes directly to buy something.
Every big store aka "supermarket" in North Korea, mostly people doesn't have any money to buy something they need, unless rich people can afford to buy. Unlike other countries are so crowded buying any kinds in any stores.
I really do enjoy watching these videos thank you for sharing this video
Thank you For The Great Video
Can’t believe I missed this one. When did you go back?!
I find it hard to understand the whole checking out process , there are so many currency and calculating involved
I guess it's because the local currency is not strong enough to buy many things. It's only used to buy national products so they you foreign money in order to buy the imported goods
Because he's paying in foreign currency I believe
They need to do extra an process to exempt sales tax.
Well keep in mind this is the capital. Most of the people who go to this store are high class and or some form of government employee. Which would explain why nearly no one buys anything here. Most of the shelves are fully stocked, and what I know from working at places like these in the US, if something is fully stocked it normally means no one is buying or it was just stocked like a few hours ago. Either way, in North Korea, only the most privileged tend to live in it's capital.
tourism is one of the major income of NKs foreign currency after the collapse of soviet union
I really Do enjoy watching your videos
How can you even upload this in The DPRK..? I'm confused plus nice channel! I enjoy your content brother
Did you catch* a cold? If that’s the case I wish you get better! : ) btw, really happy to see a new video
LOL, it can't be CoViD-19, because _officially,_ it hasn't reached the DPRK!!
Did you catch
@@peterhigginsson9875 thanks :)
One transaction of a few items takes ages. No change in the till.
it's because foreigners aren't allowed to use the local currency, so he had to pay in Chinese Yuan, bit it was hard finding change because it's a foreign currency
@@reubenlouw7967 I believe he used a hundred dollar bill from the US. I recognized it
Because he was paying in dollars
@@Apodeipnon foreigners are not allowed to own North Korean Money as far as I know... They have to use foreign money so Euro, Yuan, USD. Which is brilliant because the Won is actually non interchangeable so the rates are artificial anyways.
Thank you for ur sharing this video. It's amazing
Thank you Jaka!!!!
The real question is: is that Mercedes actually broken down?
he parked next to it, not the other way around, so in THIS case yes ;)
As a old Mercedes Benz mechanic, that car is not going to run anytime soon in North Korea.
... its a Mitsubishi broseph
@@Merc399 The car the photographer parks next to, with the hood open, is a Mercedes W114 or W115, so 1970s. I don't doubt they can get that thing to run in North Korea. Well before super-specialized tools and engine electronics.
the guy that's working on the broken down car is a secret agent from Starfleet command Headquarters
did any one else notice the sales people are wearing heavy coats INSIDE the store, i guess heat costs too much, i guess they figure if they can afford to shop there, they have heat at home.
You can also hear him shiver a few times in the beginning, so thats likely the case
Lol what i wear jacket in russian store too but its not that cold inside i just dont want to hold it in hand
Such problems with heating were in some stores in our capital Sofia in the end of 1980s, near the end of socialism
Thank you for the Great video
Hi Jaka, another fine video. Any covid concerns when there?
Did you move back to the DPRK or is this just an older video by unused footage?
This from november 2015
setelah sekian lama baru upload lagi
Thank you for sharing this beautiful store thank you for letting us join you on your adventure
We know you aren't a native English speaker
the way i keep comeback to these channel
와우. 따끈따끈, 뜨끈뜨끈. 우연히 봄. 한국어 발음이 귀여우시네요. Thank you for uploading.
Nice video bang jaka
Semoga sekeluarga sehat terus
Interesantes videos, deberías subtitularlos al español
Interesting upload 👌☺
you are unique in your videos ...
I don't know, I feel something right and wrong in one place, but I love watching it
He is shivering it's so cold, inside the store. The worker's all seem very nice, but shocked their actually selling something. Cool video.
Vlog ke korsel udh biasa .ini baru greget ke korea utara. Lanjutin bang
Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos you deserve more subscribers have you ever shop at Safeway grocery store or Trader Joe's
Finally, a new video 😂
Currencies used in North Korea :
• United States Dollar - USD
• Euro - EUR
• Chinese Yuan - CNY
• North Korean Won - KPW
Ali Hasan Umar Interesting. I was surprised when he pulled out a $100.
More vlogging in korea please
Btw 711 is more crowd even in pandemic than that store
Yang ditunggu-tunggu akhirnya 😅
Nice video bang!!!
Glad it's you there & not me. Surreal experience.
They put tea in a locked display case? Is it worth like $5,000 or something?
Not sure how tea works in NK but there is very expensive tea in China
could be, tea can go much higher
Some tea in Asian country are very vulnerable, like people would gift a box of tea on someone's birthday or something
@@zuluniner6164 Don't you mean "Valuable" , And that 5000 ain't US dollar or any other currency but local
@@Sr_Cozy Yeah I looked it up. The price tag said 1,300 which I assume is North Korean Won which is about $1.30 USD or roughly 1 EUR.
I know this is 2 years old but thank you. I appreciate above all your bravery in doing this as I know the risks involved. Bless you 🙏🏼
he lived there for years , he knew what he's doing
there isnt a single risk in doing this, western media speaks so much lies about north korea..
Lol he is live there for years works in our govt embassy, Indonesia. North Korea and Indonesia has great relation fyi
There was no risk, he uploaded these videos after he had left the country.
@@Josip-Broz-TitoThen why is it that they forbid tourists from filming anything not directly related to the state mandated tour?
I would love to go shopping here at this beautiful store into the Next video have a blessed day
I think your video will be better if you add some subs on it so we can understand what you are talking to them, or you can add some information about the building or telling us what u doing with a caption from the video. So we're not just watch your activities while traveling (that make me confuse actually) but you give us new information about North Korea.
Gosto muito dos vídeos sobre a Coreia do Norte.Saudações ao seu povo.
Hello, Surprise you possibile upload the video in live!
Hes ambassador if I'm not mistaken.
@@jamesmadison7551 No. No. He worked at the Indonesian embassy, but he was not the ambassador.
@@javierpaque1814 propaganda of North Korean gov
@@javierpaque1814 Close! His wife worked at the Indonesian embassy in Pyongyang
@@javierpaque1814 ah, still makes sense.
Very interesting to see... (i know this is only 1 part of N.Korea but it does make it fascinating to see stores that run like actual supermarkets in other parts of tbe world)
Jaka, after watching 3 of your videos I'd like to know what is being said. I do like your videos but for that reason alone I can't give you a thumbs up.
Nice vlog pal🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Imagine in supermarket in indo and you create a moment in front of cashier, the queue will be long and people will frown. Thank god none queueing at your back
That glass door is dope!
That revolving door was very fancy. Haven’t seen anything like it

At first I thought it is strange that hell has internet. But then I realized they probably only have one provider, and it is Comcast. Well played, Satan!
Dah brp lama GK upload, kirain kang Jaka dah balik ke indo
Cantik2 ya spgnya, sama makeupnya jga tipis2😘😘 tmbah ckep.
That's so cool, You paid in dollars and euros and got rmb back xD
they only let you pay with currency that's valuable to them in dprk
$100, the " Franklin's Whisper " :P
Corkoth55 wow I never thought of that that’s actually right on why they don’t let foreigners pay with their cash interesting
He's in a diplomat area, the different currency is expected there
What .. even china wants that American USD flowing in. This is too strange.
That cashier was terrified when you gave her 100 dollar bill
Utk video spt ini anda mempertaruhkan banyak hal.. Salut..

Bang baru muncul lagi bang,
Sering sering bikin vlog di Korut bang,
I would really love to go shopping here
I’m surprised that the store workers speaks English quite well
Smells strange ....
A lot of people in NK speaks english, it's better for them, to make money with visitors
@@sensacionsombria5125 As far as we know, they are not allowed to approach turists .....
@@LovThatThing not exactly
I mean they have to learn British English in schools I believe
Thanks for your sharing 👍
It's also very interesting they don't just add scripting/coding to calculate currency conversions. They always use the computer cash register and the calculator to complete all transactions
Gimana rasanya hidup di korea utara om? Sering sering upload om,biar yg lain tau kehidupan di korut kaya apa.
Indonesia memiliki hubungan baik ke Korea Utara terimakasih TELAH membuat Vidio edukasi kapan² pulang yah ke Indonesia bang
udah lama gak liat tayangan terbarunya
Wow, you are so lucky they allow you take videos.
Jujur, aku suka lihat vlog2 ttg Korut adalah sikon kotanya yang tdk ramai, sepertinya damai, tdk terlihat orang yg terburu2 dan tegesa2 dalam antrian atau kemacetan.
I love when he goes to stores!
Jaka, saya mau tau adakah kamu uploading videonya dari Korut? Saya tau juga kamu diplomat Indonesia kayaknya tapi saya curious dengan sambungan internetnya.
Salam dari Malaysia. Ya udahhh subscribe aja sama kamuuu~
*Salam kenal...Kalau setelah kehebohan covid saya mau jalan2 ke DPRK apakah aman mas? Package tournya enaknya kemana? Ada tips kalau mau kesana? Makasih banyak mas*
Interesting that they are chatting with you in English when you asked about the tea. You speak Korean don’t you Jaka?
Wah, prices are very high here. You dont show the prices in the video but I think the box of tissue paper is US8...
영상 내내 ~~ 헉헉 거려~~
I grew up privileged in the states, California, Hawaii, and Florida. This video and the comments are so eye opening. I’m in some sort of movie it feels like.
you definitely weren’t privileged when you lived in florida😂 with all the insanity going around. i’m kidding LOL
Its strange at the beginning of the video it can be seen that everyone who comes out of the mall doesn't carry any shopping bags even the visitors look like they are not shopping maybe just looking, and I wonder how a large mall with a few visitors can pay a lot of its employees
Honey, they only allowed in there 2 times a month lmao imagine if you needed an appointment to go to macys... I would walk around looking as well once i got in there
You videos always gives a glimpse of what most other can never do. I have read 11 books about the DPRK and have been fascinated by this place. It would be interesting to know what the total cost for the items was.
not much for u but much for them
Mas jaka, saya penasaran deh dng kegiatan artis korut di saat mereka lagi syuting, krn di korut hanya ada satu stasiun tv aja kan.. jd Saya penasaran, boleh gak org luar nge vlog dari jauh kegiatan mereka? terutama seniman2 di korut atau mahasiswa2 seni nya, atau nge vlog di daerah lain selain pyongyang
thanks~~~
Our supreme Leader built the store, all by himself
