We Tried Sneaking Journalists Into North Korea

- Sneaking into North Korea was one of the hardest and weirdest processes VICE has ever dealt with. In North Korea, if you get caught being a journalist when you're supposed to be a tourist, you go to jail, or worse. Our rare footage is some of the craziest ever captured, providing an honest look inside the hermit nation.

looool
Every radical source of information gets infiltrated and internally compromised. This is common procedure for intelligence agencies dealing with troublesome groups, especially groups of uncensored, raw journalists. They can't stand info coming to light that doesn't fit in with their made up story.
They switched the serious stuff to Vice News. The main Vice channel is hipster stuff, bur Vice News still has some interesting journalism. The stuff with Isobel Yeung is amazing.

Technically, they said pictures, not videos, so he’s clean
Respect to everyone who did this, especially the cameraman, or woman, who risked their actual lives filming this for our sake, so we can get informed on what happens in that place
that is barely even putting a fingerprint on the surface
so cringe "or woman"

It's crazy how far our camera technology has came in such a short amount of time.
Yeah you could totally fit an "advanced camera" in the case of a really junky camera from 20 years ago and sneak it in
@@JinnaiT and they would never know
@@garbagelifeoftheboringwife exactly because they don't know Bs because their blocked from the world
And you can guarantee that the twats at the top of the NK hierarchy still think 80's tech is the very height of sophistication.
which brings me to reverse Enginering but I wont twist your mind with that rite now ! lol , just wish Bigfoot hunters would stop using the old Disposable cameras !!!!!!! I really did LOL on that one !
“We had nothing to lose”
....... yeah besides your lives
That'a what I exactly thought!

@@shottyhottie pretty small tbh
this is the owner of vice, he didnt force someone else to do it
I'm acquainted with a gentleman who escaped N Korea about 15 years ago and as crazy as you found N Korea, he found the U.S. even more so. He made his way to china and then from China through a few more countries before he made it to a U.S. consulate and told them he was from N Korea and wanted to defect. Seems he had a lot of knowledge about the military having once served in the N Korean army as an officer so they let him come to the US. He had spent so much time hiding and stealing food that he never actually saw the inside of a grocery store until he got to the U.S. The moment he stepped inside he dropped to his knees and burst into tears. He said there was more food in that grocery store that day than he had seen in his 52 years living in N Korea. He said that he thought there was probably enough food in that grocery store to feed the whole population back home. He could not believe how much food there was and all the other comforts either. He was shocked at all the things we throw away. Next he visited a Walmart then a shopping mall and he couldn't deal with it emotionally so he had to go back to his little cottage where he was staying. He couldn't believe that he was allowed to unplug the TV. In N Korea TV's and radios are on 24/7. You can't turn them off. If you get caught not watching the propaganda programming you can be sent to the concentration camps up north. And when you are sent there they send you and your children and their children and your siblings and their spouses and their children and all your aunts and uncles and first cousins. They all go to the concentration camp with you and there you are worked to death or starved to death and if any of the women happen to get pregnant and the guards never find out resulting in the baby being born in the camp they grow up in the camp and live out their lives in the camp. Your whole family is socially quarantined forever which tends not to be very long because it seems the average life expectancy in one of those camps is around five years. He says you don't ask about the Park family who suddenly disappeared last night from their 20 sq meter apartment. If someone you know all of a sudden isn't there any more you don't ask. People who ask questions also disappear. As for the food, it is very scarce. He informs me that it is not an exaggeration to say they eat grass. They eat grass, flowers when they can find them, leaves, tree bark, insects, worms and anything else. A fish or bird is a rare treat. The government tells you that you should be grateful for the bounty they pretend to give you and you pretend to be grateful for it.
What an evil government, I can't believe it just doesn't collapse under it's own putrid weight.
Yup, rationing was goin on years ago! Uncalled for, sinister and involves control.
So what if we just "level" that place out?..... You know all it takes is 1 MK-10 Warhead and then N. Korea is no longer a threat or even a place that exists anymore! Easy peasy lemon squeezey problem solved... I would imagine if the "devil" exists; he resides in North Korea and or Afghanistan 😂😂😂 garbage countries
this is crazy, makes you so grateful to be born on a better side of the world. thank you for sharing this story bc i for one will definitely reflect on this and be much more grateful that our tiny first world problems are problems that people in north korea would do anything to have instead
absolutely true story.
Crazy how 10 years after... this documentary is still interesting.
because its the only one? 😂
Respect to the cameraman who took the real risk and got no credit
Unfortunately, they never get credit.
@ValePC I think that it’s possible to ask if you can bring a camera. Either that or it was smuggled and their tour guide told them to take sanctioned pictures.
Ccrt
@@t1ara_tw1g I think it's better they got no credit for safety... but they are out of the country but still...

vice in 2012: Sneaking Journalists into north korea and legitimately risking their lives
vice now: Ive eaten only mac and cheese for the last 17 years
Is literally what I was about to see after this video
They still do documentaries like this... also, sometimes you just wanna watch a dude eat Mac and cheese for more than a decade
*taking the official propaganda tour for journalists.
Florian Rabe *and pointing out how much this tour is propaganda, and breaking rules and going off the path multiple times but whatever*
@@jmadmaxx7295 Breaking news. Their cheesy propaganda tour is propaganda. He still pretended to have "sneaken in" in some kind of undercover way, which is misleading on his part. And chances are he was briefed with what he could get away with and with what not. I wonder how many people there got in trouble because he filmed them for the lulz when he wasn't supposed to.
Basically everything he did would have got him killed.
Yes, pretty much. They are very down on any kind of bad press.
this is nothing dude , he fucking went to libaria where there are a lot of cannibals
Yep
EXACTLY!!!! 😵💀
SupraX good
The division happened many years ago so the generations who remember strolling freely around the entire Korean empire without boarders are already old by now, or were mostly kids during those days. I can't imagine how it must have felt like for those who used to live in the now other side of the boarder, worse, having your parents, siblings, relatives, childhood friends, teachers, etc. on the other side of the DMZ. It's really sad when you think about it.
technically no.. before the war Korea had been under Japanese occupation since 1905, so for the North this is all they are used to
Actually, you can take your cell phone into North Korea now, and actually, at 2 hotels, tourists can pay (large amounts of money) to access outside international (yet very slow) internet. and can even bring a computer. On;y thing is that sometimes they will want to check the pictures you took on your phone to make sure its not something that is a negative appearance of the country. Edit: didnt realise this was from 10 years ago
Hey, where would i find footage/people that have done this?
@@Aj-mz8on I think Koryo Tours has some information on this. Idk if they have videos or not. But my trip there back in 2018 I was able to take my phone and take pics. Again, this was like 11 years ago that this viideo is from, Way different rules now. Cellphones were not mini camera's back then.
so this footage is safe?

"Don't point". Immediately starts pointing after arriving at the DMZ
I was thinking exactly that!
Don’t worry he kept an open hand so he wasn’t pointing
many time to be exact🤣 he really want to be shot at
*no finger point*
@@akmazaary9197 I don’t think so. Cuz on the northern side while touring dprk he was allowed to point all he wanted,

@@burnt968 the developers added a feature so that if you sneak it goes away
@@gabandreialcantara4649 Oh, I didn't know that.

This was terrifying, and I wasn't even there.
I feel like more than half those buildings in North Korea have absolutely no reason for being there other than visual appeal to outsiders.
yep, they look way too dead to be inhabited.
Yes - I worked with a colleague who was stationed in the DMZ during his Army days. He hated every damn minute of it. Every building was a facade, and a competition was on. They build a structure in the north, they build a bugger structure in the south, etc. He was go glad to get out of there and he said don't bother visiting it - as he called it "the most depressing place on earth".
They are all fake.
They are actually just giant hollow cardboard structures
Only thing is they're not visually appealing in any way
"No pointing please you could start a war"
literally points everywhere atleast 10 times throughout this whole video.
kawaii-pinkdoll right
kawaii-pinkdoll 420th like
ARMYYY!
Holypapihoseok No pointing please could start a war
Flies in to fucking North Korea xd
Same thing happened to a sgt who was tasked in the DMZ
Keeps telling the tourists to not point out but he himself was pointing.
i've seen this video like a hundred times and it's still so amazing and well produced. i really wish that vice still made videos this way: reporting about a very serious topic, but making it in a way that is super fun and enjoyable to watch.
How to escape hermits
- Become Solider
- Become Stationed at the DMZ
- Run across the side
- Attempt to get the south to let you into South Korea
- They take you to South Korea
- South korean citizen
- Get South Korean Passport
- Now you can attempt to become a citizen in a lot of places :)
Thank you! I will use this advice and try.
will update
@@weeeeee831 lol
Forgot a step
-Dont care about any of your relatives, because they will be executed or put in political prisoner camps
@@sawmill035 Yes! This too! Or grow a hatred for them because they raised you in that place without attempting escape with ignorance, get them executed, get stationed, then follow the steps
Then know that the rest of your relatives got executed
Does airline companies charge him extra bagage fee for those balls he carries around?

Holy crap, the hotel is bugged so the guy goes around the room laughing and saying 'hello' over and over???? I mean, that's hardcore as fuck, I would've just sat in the corner and not talked

+DO NOT WANT They're in a nation where every single visitor has a personal minder. I don't think it's too paranoid to assume that there are bugs.
He means, bugged like a microphone so they can hear him in the video dumbo

-Go on international duty
-run away

its funny because my grandmother was from north korea and she resides in a small village next to the north korea-china bridge. the number of north koreans in that village is actually a lot, they speak korean and they also have korean food and stuff. my mother has visited our relatives in north korea once when she visited the country and she has told me that they are living more miserably than any of my family members in china, but they are still scraping by. the funny part is that my maternal side is the one from n.k, but my paternal side is from shenyang LOL, both mentioned in this video

My friends husband who was in the army has been to North korea, he refuses to talk about it. All he will say is that he went in, he repaired something, then he left.
He does something in the communications industry now so she thinks that he went in to repair some spy monitoring equipment given that he was an army Air ranger.
He will not say anything else about his experience there or how he got in or anything. Just simply nine words in three sentences.
We went in, we repaired something, then we left
10:00 I love the fact that he’s giggling like a little kid
The whole bugged thing in the hotel room is so creepy to me. My uncle used to tell the story of when he was younger he and his college friends somehow ended up in Russia (having just stopped being the USSR), where they were sure the hotel room was bugged. He said that they would stay super quiet, start murmuring gibberish to make the listeners suspicious, then randomly all start screaming right next to the bug. Probably super dangerous but it all gave them a good laugh.
my civics teacher played on the USA lacrosse team and when she was in Russia w her team they met these guys that they snuck back into the hotel cause technically there not allowed to be in there and the dudes showed them where all the bugs and stuff were. it sounded crazy
Yeah I read a news article once by a linguist who went to Russia. He was fluent in a very rare African dialect and just to test to see if there were bugs, started talking nonsense to himself in this dialect in his hotel room. He got taken to guards who grilled him asking what he was saying....

There is a great doc about a South-Korean woman named Lim Su-kyung, that as a teen traveled to North Korea with no permission to assist the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students and returned by crossing the border on foot, then arrested and considered the "flower of reunification" by some, and a traitor by others. It's called "La chica del sur" by José Luis García
When a North Korean soldier runs across the DMZ to the enemy side, its the North Koreans that start shooting at their own soldiers trying to escape and the South tries to assist any way they can and provide emergency treatment. Think about that. What a strange dynamic that is.
Crazy honestly
Reminds me of the berlin wall, people trying to escape the communist side
@@judewhittaker1200 similar reasons why both walls exist
I think a lot of Americans would do that to each other in that situation. Shouting “Traitor!” Soldiers gonna soldier

And this is why Vice is Vice. Thank you for the entertainment.

My dad was stationed in South Korea when he was an army ranger. The north and south took turns cleaning the room on the border that both countries met in. My dad was on the cleaning crew. When they entered, they had to form a human chain with their arms to reach the North Korean door and lock it, because they were known for grabbing South Korean/American soldiers
Are you sure it was with their arms?
Omg that’s so scary, imagine going to lock the door and someone drags u across the border and boom, ur under their rule and like ur life is ruined.
Why was a ranger on cleaning duty!?!?

Its gonna be 2 scrawny north Korean arms reaching out to grab you. Think I'd take my chances. I would be pulling the guy onto my side if they attempted something like that.

@Ludheim triggered
still wondering how he sneaked cameras in
Me too.
its prob like a hidden small camera
*snuck 😂
I’m pretty sure they allow people with cameras in but they check the SIM cards on the way in and out so people hide the sim.
@Ben P what? he literally said "they only allow something like a point and shoot" before smartphones, point and shoots were prevalent. They are small handheld cams with limited capabilities
Vice you deserve the whole Journalism world....... period tht
Was wondering why Vice seemed unusually based, then I checked when this was uploaded
This dude is very lucky not getting arrested in N. Korea. He should be counting his blessings. Video tapes the country while getting drunk, whoo boi you lucky...
SDoGG420 maybe you should see his 'trip' in Liberia. That's real blessing
Yeah this guy is unbelievable, he befriended someone who killed 20,000 people and was called general butt naked
@@putinsgaytwin4272 bin laden **
ToC ShamarYT-_ No he also made friends with General Butt Naked

venomkiler it would be almost impossible to leave North Korea because china or another nation would shoot at you
because they don't want "WAR"
And thank you guys for the risks you took to show us the forgotten prisons of the world.

tHIS NEEDS MORE LIKES
The winner get lead medal
I feel bad for people who live in North Korea, it seems like such a dull place where each and every one of your steps is controlled. It's sad.
People who have never knew freedom will not crave it
@@tulayamalavenapi4028 well yeah, if you grow up in oppression and heavy censorship, you'll think that north korea is a safe haven
@@doublestufforeo3282 Did someone manage to sleep through Psych in 9th grade? Autonomy is one of the most innate human desires
@@VinylUnboxings Yes, but what you call autonomy is only what we make up of it, due to our surroundings and experiences. A newborn has no sense of autonomy. And all that is normal for us is completely unthinkable for many NK citizens. Simply put, with your entire life being censored and controlled, you don't necessarily get the idea that anything is wrong, since that is just the way it is.
@@tulayamalavenapi4028 Why do you have to bring religion into something completely unrelated to it?
😂 always gotta laugh at the
" Do u have any weapon or explosive" box on immigration checklists...... Do they expect anyone to actually tick it
