"How's North Korea"
"I can't complain"
"That's good"
"No I literally can't complain"
lol
Life in north korea be like:
That sounded like an Oblivion conversation at first.
AND WE SAID THAT'S GOOD. God, this guy. Doesn't he understand engrish?
Glory to North Korea and the great Juche idea
Being born in North Korea is the equivalent of starting a game on veteran difficulty.
The game: Scorn
is it true that the general population of North Korea is clueless to how poor they are? Or more importantly what life is like is the rest of the world?
@@JusNoBS420 I mean they do have some idea, the NK state media is always railing against the west and South Korea. There are also government programs where NK sends labourers to work around the world, I'm sure they can shed some light about the world when they come back and the fact that there is significant amount of SK brands that are imitated in NK means that they clearly have some contact.
@@googane7755 some heavily censored contact that's probably few an far between.
i would probably escape or kill m1self lmao
No matter what we faced in our life, we should be thankful that we are not living in a gruesome country
Or we're not an animal.

I'm Korean and my grandfather on my mom side was an officer in North Korean Army in the Korean war era(1950) but he took his platoon and surrendered to south korean troops. He started a business in South Korea after the war and met my grandmother in Seoul. But according to my mom he would always cry in the middle of the night, being drunk, longing for his wife and children who were back in North Korea. And he suffered from a stroke for many years until he died when my mom was 14.
It is still hard to believe that I have a semi related family who I have never seen in North Korea and I don't even know if they are atill alive or executed.
Thanks for sharing. I feel for your grandfather. That must've been really tough.
@@Arctagon Thanks man. I have never met him personally and I can feel his agony that he had been through as well.
He was not a great provider for the family in the last couple of years of his life but he was just a victim of this bullshit war of ideaology
They are alive and thinking about you
I highly doubt that. His grandfather came from N Korea and so his family there would not have heard of him.
@@prodigalpriest You are prob right. I don't think he had seen or heard of his family back in NK ever since he escaped from there. So there's no way they would know my existence.

I’m half Korean on my Mother’s side. Her parents escaped North Korea on a wagon in the early 1960s. They had actually lived quite comfortably in a large house near Pyongyang. However, they felt things could worsen in the future and fled south. Their relatives decided to stay behind. I often wonder what became of them. My Gran seldom spoke of her homeland. She was born under Japanese occupation and then Communist rule. One day I hope the north will be free.
I hope the north becomes free In our lifetime, the people deserve to see what the world has to offer

I was born, grew up and lived in the GDR. My dad is a physician and worked in a huge hospital. This hospital often trained and educated doctors from other, socialist 'brother' countries. There were doctors from the USSR, some from countries like Nicaragua or El Salvador and then, in the early 1980's there was this doctor form North Korea.
I was still quite young at this time, but I still remember him. I remember a very nice, polite and quiet man, the brooch with the portrait of Kim Il-Sung that _every_ North Korean always wore on their lapel and that he was always in the mood for a joke. I remember that he bought everything he could get and took it home to North Korea - canned food, a cassette recorder, a water kettle; flar iron; hair dryer; cookware; pans; ... He was _never_ very open about that, but he always hinted that those things were... a scarce thing in North Korea.
And he brought gifts. There was that beautyful little porcellaine rabbit that is still sitting on my shelf and there was this book with pictures of North Korea, in the typical beautiful, almost photographic and slightly cheesy korean style, which I also still have. In this book, there were also pictures showing Kim-Il Sung, which always came with an extra page, containing a story from Kim Il-Sung's life, praising him and his feats to the skies. And every picture showing Kim-Il Sung comes with a broad gold edge.
I also have a book that explains the Juche ideology, praises the capable North Korean economy, industry and agricultural sector, shows _incredible_ export figures and also shows pictures of an industrial fair, as well as pictures of Kim Jong-Il visiting said fair. Those pictures also have the broad gold edge _and_ it's quite striking that all pictures are black and white and often quite grainy, whereas the pictures showing Kim Jong-Il are in high resolution and in color.
I was quite used to a certain level of personality cult as a citizen of the GDR, but _this_ was and is a whole new level.
Sorry for this wall of text, in case you've made it this far; thanks a lot for your patience and interest, but I thought this is an interesting bit of information that I thought I should share.

Rare fact he actually invited Larry Bird and challenged him to a 3 point contest. Larry said in an interview with time magazine he's never been more humiliated in his life.
North Korea is a tragedy. It's truly upsetting to know people live like this. Even if you're upper class, you must live in fear. I can't imagine being trapped in such horror. May God have mercy on the people of North Korea. My Grandfather was captured by the Chinese in the Korean war. The atrocities and torture he experienced were horrific. The only reason he wasn't executed, was because his last name is Dragon, and the Chinese will never kill a Dragon. He was told to hike for miles with a blindfold on, and he eventually rode home in a truck full of dead American soldiers. Some of which were his friends. He was never the same again, and left his family when he returned home.
No..... isn't a tragedy... it's a good thing for comunity.. no homosexuals, no genders, no drugs on the streets, no pain, no thiefs, no mass school shootings....... south Korea lost dignity, honor and culture.... China is life and behemoth for civilization
that is a crazy story! thank you for sharing a piece of history and God bless your grandfather
The only silver lining for the poor North Koreans is that they don't know any better way of life, they're actually brainwashed to believe this is good. Maybe their forced ignorance of western culture is the only think keeping what little sanity they have left :`(

Little-know fact: Kim is the true author of The Shining and all of Stephen King's supposed best novels, and of the Harry Potter series, and the real reason that no new Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) books have been published since 2011, a dozen years, is because Kim died before he finished the series.
He also wrote the Star Wars Original Trilogy. “George Lucas” is just some guy he hired to pose as the director so the movies would do well in other countries.
Also the Lovecraftian books
Plus the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series.
Not to mention the Lord of the rings

"You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at McDonalds."
"Hohohoho, no! Patented Kim burgers. Old family recipe!"
"...For double bread with meat?"
"Yes."
They are called kimburgers.
"But what if I were to purchase fastfood and disguised it as my own cooking? Ohohoho, delightfully devilish, Jong-Il."

That one made me laugh out loud. "Ohohoho no. I said two pieces of bread with some meat in it. Thats what I call Hamburgers. Old Jong-Il recipe."

“And you call them double meat with bread, despite the fact they are clearly hamburgers?”
Peaktu mountain is actually a volcano that has experienced very large eruptions (VEI 7) in the past, which is why there is a lake in the middle of it, the lake formed from the collapse and formation of the caldera.
That’s so cool tbh
And it serves as the borderline between China and Korea, so if you take a trip to the Chinese side of the mountain, there's a slight chance you might see Kim Jong-un staring at you from the other side.
IT BECAME A LAKE WHEN THE SUPREME LEADER KIM IL SUNG WAS BORN

The North Koreans for Pulgasari also kidnapped Japanese actor Kenpachiro Satsuma who was the actor for Godzilla in the Heisei series in addition to this the film is also heavily inspired by The Return of Godzilla.

That story with the rabbits is true. He ate them & then wanted more but the breeder was pissed & refused.
Good thing they did not try and kidnap the breeder.
@@markcab2055 The whole thing was pretty fucked.
The breeder was thinking he was helping them to set up a program to save them from starving to death. I mean he wouldn't have thought otherwise. So he gave them great rabbit stock.
But then for NK to eat them on a whim as a rare dish & that the rabbits weren't going to help anybody after all, is a real tragedy.
Rabbits are a very good source of protein. They breed very fast, make no noise, they're easy & safe to handle, they grow very fast, & they require very little space.
The only negative is they have no fat & you need an outside source of fat or you'll die.
So yea Kim ruined a breeding program that caused a lot of people to die just from that little whim of wanting a special dish to eat.
Unbelievable.

I'm afraid "gojigo pang" isn't the North Korean word for hamburger. In fact, it's "gogi (meat) gyoub (double) bbang (bread)". Although it's Korean language, the word is only used in North Korea as they normally avoid using English, the language of their enemies. Therefore South Koreans would not associate the word with hamburger immediately if they heard it for the first time as it literally means "meat double bread". South Koreans simply use the word hamburger.
Yup. The South uses lots of "loan words", while the North uses a more "strict" form of Korean. Learned that from Geography Now! LOL
Haem-boh-goh haha
It's called '고기겹빵' if you understand Korean
...that reminds the world of Germany ruled by the Adolf H regime...
The word "Hamburger" is German not English.

@@poketz100 How? With all the guns they have? For that matter, why? Because they know things could be so much better?

I'd sure like to see them throw off the Kim regime, but that can't happen without external support.
@@poketz100 how? Like bro tell me how? Fucking underfed people would have to fight with one of the biggest armies in the world
Except most kingdoms throughout history were fairly benevolent as most monarchs realised that you live longer if you rule through love rather than fear. People seem to forget that dictatorships were the default form of government for 10,000 years.

I remember back in high school about how there was something about North Korea threatening America for food or else face war/nukes (might’ve been propaganda).

I lived in South Korea during that Submarine incident. You should have covered the 1996 incident as well. There was a manhunt looking for the North Korean special forces. All of South Korea was on lockdown with checkpoints everywhere. News would talk about clashes with South Korean forces locating the Special forces and having gunfights with grenades being thrown. Wild times
SPAGHET!
I’m surprised that South Korea didn’t restart the war right there, i don’t know about you but when a submarine blows up a ship i don’t immediately try and find the special forces I see that as a HUGE act of war
I remember that. I was stationed at Camp Eagle and we assisted in flying ROK troops through the mountain areas they were hiding. Very few, if any, prisoners were taken

I am thoroughly impressed; very accurate.
It's so weird to have what is essentially a highly militarized communist monarchy.
I served with some guys that did a tour in S. Korea and they trained with the ROK soldiers and said they were some of the toughest troops around.
Of course they are..born and raised in steel
Check out ROK service history in Vietnam. Pretty brutal reputation, the Vietcong and NVA feared them.
I've done naval exercises and also sports with South Korean sailors. They beat us in baseball and soccer, we beat them in basketball (height may have had more to do with it than skill). I wouldn't bet against them in a hot war with the North, despite being outnumbered. Of course, we'd back them up, and rightly so.

9:40 My grandgrandmother fell down the stairs, this pretty much "ended" her life. After that she was a broken person, constantly dependent on very strong opioids and in the end she starved because her neck "dissolved" and blocked her esophagus.
Walking stairs being dangerous might sound funny when you are young but it can kill you when you are old, such injuries do not heal espicially when you are old and weak.

Absolutely. Hip injuries, in particular, are often a death sentence for the elderly.

It is disgusting to see this and to think these people are still living like this. It feels like a crime against humanity and the fact that we all as humans have just strood by and watched it happen, as well as it still happens is horrifying. It feels like on a micro scale when you are neighbor to the drunk father that beats his family. There is some time before it hopefully gets fixed or maybe they move away under pressure of law enforcement trying to end it. Just because they moved away the pain it still lingers and that secondary guilt survives because you didn't intervene when you could have. I know it would have been dangerous, and you know all the family had to do is leave, but it would get very ugly before it got better, and we all know those wounds will never ever heal.
At some point you have to step back and understand it is thier challenge, and empower them when you can, and try to think of clever ways of dealing with it to pass on, but that guilt is tough to live with.
Worse yet is these ragimes that were set up were based on dictataorship of Russia that failed, and gave up long ago. Due to rising ways of intellegence gathering they eliminate the enemies within before they get very far and it is self sustaining. Like you want to think there is hope, but years of it has created structure that holds it all up.
We have learned that the cost is great and near impossible to help provide the people with ways of changing it, and those put in place are wiped out. But still the guilt lingers, the pain lingers.
Wow.. perfectly said!! It is mind blowing that the rest of the world are not doing anything about all of those people practically being held hostage.
@@archer8288 Come to think of it, I think we have, tried arming initiatives that want to topple a corrupt government only to install a worse one. Isn't that what happened with the US in the middle east?
I guess there is that problem and what it would cost as far as lives lost, so I am sure they would rather be alive and captive then dead and free.
I would guess after such a long time riased in a dictatorship, I wonder if people would be able to even function as a democracy.
Here is the US it was kind of a perfect storm because we all invaded the land, and we had to coexist. But we are dangerously close to the possibility of it turning toward a dictatorship. Given what Trump tried to pull, who also was improving relations with the other dictators of the world.
I also live in ohio where blatant Gerymandering is occuring. But we also just had one of the worst environmental disasters here. Hopefully we will be forced to restore the balance.
Otherwise it can and will become the dictatorship. With a facade of democracy.
@@archer8288 two words to answer your question: nuclear bombs
I think the problem with that is the isolationism of NK. In that analogy it's basically okay, I've called the cops and they're arriving. The kids start fighting the cops because they've been taught they're evil, the husband drives a tank out of the garage as the battered wife starts shooting out the window at them. There is no easy fix to NK's decades of brainwashing and isolationism.

I love how the animations, though basic, are excellent but the LIFE magazine was actually just a small picture of the cover.
Years ago I read somewhere that the golfing thing was a misunderstanding of how they/he were keeping score, and that misunderstood scorecard was then spread far and wide by media because it was so outrageous. It wasn’t that he scored 11 hole-in-one’s. His scorecard read 11 1’s in a row, but that was because he supposedly recorded strokes over par per hole instead of total strokes per hole. So if it was a par 3, he was 1 over that which meant 4 total strokes for the hole. If was par 4 and he was 1 over then it was 5 total strokes. That could all be complete bunk, but I just remember reading that years back. Even still, that isn’t much better because there’s no way that would happen to a first time golfer either, but it is slightly more reasonable than 11 hole-in-ones.
Yeah, it's just as made up as the double rainbows and him not pooping, dude. It's just a wholesale lie lol

When the supreme leader died I was pounding the pavement, punching stop signs, drop kicking high ranking officials.....I was so sad!
I actually took my own life in hopes that it would reverse his passing. Not sure if it worked
Democracy:
Kim Jong-un: And I took that personal
So that was most definitely a clean hole in one to start off the video I heard he only hits them no matter how far and first try every time no matter the weather even in a storm with heavy winds.
The channel releases videos regularly, with an easy to understand and interesting historical recap. Hope the channel produces more interesting historical videos☺☺
It’s crazy to think that we know more about North Korea than North Korea knows about the world.
Not really, This channel regurgitates alot of propaganda. The cause of the "arduous march" of the 90's was U.S sanctions. The DPRK lost its socialist market and partners in the Soviet Union. The U.S then tried to stop the DPRK from obtaining hard currency and blunting their ability to feed the people because they wanted "regime change". They did the same thing to Venezuela and now they've reversed their sanctions because they need oil.
It's bullshit history but it's easy to consume.
@@jdos5643 it's quite idiotic to think that.
@@LiterarischeAktion why. It’s the truth….
I think I can say with confidence that the guards who escourted the 2 South Korean actor and movie producer who escaped were either executed or worked to death..
Got to star in their own snuff film
Or,if they were smart, immediately defected themselves.
@@paulohagan3309 but then both of their entire families would be killed/ worked to death.
@@andrewrussell5360 Yes, there is that. However, they could go back and still they and their families could face the same threat.
You cannot trust such a regime. Human life turns on the whim of an over-fed tyrant. A horrible dilemma, to be sure.
Dang, I loved the Three Ninjas growing up. Didn’t know it was tied to these two
Tiger Woods was relieved his crazy golf game was a one time thing
It's wild af that the Simpsons steamed hams gag where Skinner pretends to have cooked Krusty burgers is something Kim Jong Il actually did
Lmfaooo I really didn’t think anyone would
Make the connection
Even still, on a video about North Korea I can’t get away from steamed hams
Oh, no, I said "gogigyeopbbang". That's what I call hamburgers.
Stupid cartoon
Well I'm from Hamhung and I've never heard them called that.
No, it's a Pyongyang expression
Thank you do you in depth videos and animations. It really shows my cultures struggles between north and South Korea. I really feel to the north as those civilians are really.. victims under Stockholm syndrome
I can’t believe how brainwashed the average citizen is in North Korea. I heard they even believe there are more than two genders lol. Can you imagine how stupid you’d have to be to believe that!?
I think that's an understood fact
🤡🤡🤡
@@BVonBuescher also how some people
Believe the earth is flat. Also those who believe in god. Everything is stupid to another if you don’t share the same beliefs.. also when you are raised in such strict mind controlling conditions.. you can only see and hear what you are shown
Rather than sending kdramas secretly, south koreans need to send this video with korean translation
Bro imagine being sent to death via pipe bomb exploded in stomach because your grandma’s cousin watched Toy Story 💀💀
I'm only 7 minutes into this and it seems like I'm watching an animated horror movie.
Imagine having to live there ..
This video certainly has no bias to it
I did not expect this to be so terrifying.
…horrifying
Thank you for the content 🤙
North korea needs to open a university for foreign students who will gladly pay big money to be trained there and will in time that their personal feelings dont matter as they see what true oppression really is
The sounds of them gulping down the wine sounds so satisfying
Love the video history, thanks! FYI, some of the North Korean films had in them American GIs who defected to the North in the 1960s. The documentary Crossing the Line (available online), about James Dresnok, shows some stills. They played the villain of course.
I wonder if they regretted their decision to defect
@@viysnjor4811 I don't think they can regret anything any longer
There needs to be a military revolution in North Korea.
maybe its just because im a democrat and not a gullible republican but i can see right through all of kim jun ills lies. like cmon you didnt write all those books, golf that well and write operas. but if trump told republicans that itd be a waaaaay different story lmao.
@@EyeOfThePhi Its because you are a democrat that you and your ilk will lap up anything Kim Jong Il's would say. You are literally doing that right now.
I have noticed that there have been alot of compilation videos lately. I hope this channel will still make new ones in the future.
I was just going to say I feel live I've seen all of this before...
@@50DesotoCoupe Yeah, shameless rehashing.
The channel fell off with anti Korean propaganda
The dog part got a good nose exhale outta me there
Huge fan here. Just need to recheck your videos thoroughly as you have clearly repeated alot of stories in different videos.
haha, the idea of taking your enemies malfunctioning spy sub, and turning it into a national public tour, is just really rubbing their faces in it XD
The Norht Koreans have done the same with an American boat they captured in the 60s.
You guys have to make a history video on Khmer Rouge and Democratic Kampuchea.
Richard Nixon started the Khmer Rouge. The end
The thumbnail is just, crazy to say the least 😂
