4 MINUTES IN NORTH KOREA | DMZ Full Experience

We're trying something new! We loved Seoul so much that we want to make sure everyone has an amazing time in this incredible city! So we put together a travel guide called 9 Things You Must Do On Your First Trip To Seoul. Check it out! karaandnate.com/9-things-you-must-do-in-seoul/

One thing I appreciate about you guys is that you do a lot to change the 'ugly-American-tourist' way of being. I used to travel a lot many years ago and I would often cringe when observing people from the U.S. Mostly because of their seeming arrogant and entitled . You two aren't like that . You're respectful and warm and polite when relating to people in the countries you visit .

[@Shmaples]

A lot of americans are like them.. it's an unfortunate stereotype sadly.

[@PerthTowne]

I agree. I like Nate and Kara for the same reason. But I know many Americans like them--open, intelligent, and both curious about and respectful of other cultures.

[@troyyoung8138]

Very true. I’m from the US and travel a good bit, just like Shmaples said most really aren’t it’s mainly just the noob US tourist that’s super cringe😂

[@amandag5388]

everyone with half a brain knows the situation already it's only a small amount of people that are completely ignorant on this.... but they just have to show their sorrow because people are so offended by everything these days that it's hard to even have an opinion or post any travel video without this fine print at the end. Were all living in a world walking on eggshells wondering who were going to offend next... I didn't think it was necessary, they seem like smart people.

In November 1989 the wall came down in Berlin and my dad thought it would be a good idea to drag me and my sister down there (we're Swedish, hence down) to celebrate new years eve on Brandenburger Tor. It was a crazy experience and when we got there people were still cutting down the wall so we got to see it with our own eyes and I bought a kilo of wall grout as a memento. I remember that there were guards with machine guns patrolling the subway cars as we travelled between the east and west parts of Berlin and that no one actually knew what the hell was going on and what the future would bring. All in all is one of my most memorable traveling experiences to date and I hope that I get to see a Korean unification within my lifespan. If it hapends I will drag my kids there to experience it on the spot...

I've been through both doors of the blue conference building. In 2011 I went on the DMZ tour from the south. Six months later, I went on a five-day tour of North Korea and visited the DMZ from the north. It was a freaky experience visiting the same place from the other side!

Her father is from Busan and he mother is from a small village in NK, where she defected from in the mid 80's. A few years ago they went to Korea to see family and Gen went on this tour to get a better view of where her mother was from.

[@larrybothe8246]

This video was a flashback for me. 40 years ago while teaching conversational English in Seoul I signed up for a USO bus tour to the DMZ. We got the same briefing by a US soldier: no waves, beckoning or T-shirts with slogans etc. We too realized things were very serious. Same short period of time in the conference room tho we experienced a NORTH KOREAN guard took pics of US through the windows..!! Glad you had that amazing experience!!!

I loved my tour to the DMZ for the exact same reasons you described. It’s mind blowing but at the same time tragic. I was there in November 2017 and we weren’t allowed in the conference area (I think because tensions were high due to a recent defector) so we only saw the tunnel, train station and lookout tower.

This is one of the first videos Kara doesn't have gigantic smile the entire way through. There is tremendous interest in North Korea as evidenced by the tourism to both the North Korea/South Korea border and the North Korea/China video. I also watched Fun For Louis travel to NK on a surfing tour and JaYoe (Matt) travel to NK for a marathon. Ive also watched a few journalism tours of NK (Vice magazine). I find the place fascinating but it's not on my bucketlist for the reason the every single visit I see goes to the same places with extremely little "exploring", and the food sucks.

My dad was active duty Col and he wasn’t allowed to go because who he was and what he did. I was 21 with shoulder length hair, it was 81! Typical 21 yr old lol. Anyway it was crazy! Armed police and military everywhere! I tried to exchange money and they wanted my passport. We were warned not to let anyone take your passport because people disappear for days.....so I didn’t let it out of my hands. They finally let me exchange money. It was so stark, grey and silver buildings, no colors. Clothes were all drab, only smiles I saw were westerners who were buying cheap things in East like comforters....I’ll never forget...what an experience!!

Please reconsider. North Korea isn't supposed to be a country on anyone's "bucket list" to cross off. This country is literally the site of one of the greatest human rights violations in recent history. They have concentration camps defectors have compared to Nazi camps, starvation to the point of the average North Korean being significantly shorter than the average south Korean due to malnutrition, and a regime so oppressive and manipulative the average person there doesn't even realize how much their life sucks because they have no connection to the rest of the world. Going there as a tourist and publishing videos of the places they have deemed acceptable for tourists to film is only furthering their disgusting "everything is fine here" propaganda

How fun it was it

[@oli8820]

I know im super behind the times commenting on this video 3 years later, but its super cool to see the experience from the South Korean side. I did a tour of North Korea in 2019 and we had very few restrictions when visiting the DMZ only one I remember is we were not able to visit the blue buildings. Essentially what you learn on in North Korea is the two sides of this war are North Korea and America. They believe South Korea is still controlled or heavely influenced by US. I remember when we were standing on the balcony of the building the guard was standing at, we were waving and getting photos of the South. I think the key thing to learn at the DMZ is that propaganda is not just feed to us on both sides of the devide but in our home countries too, we go there with a huge amount of preconceived ideas, more than any other country we can visit. DPRK is a beautiful country and if you get the chance to go you MUST do it. It will challange your way of thinking for sure.

[@NicoleLaurenBlake]

This is such an interesting video! I'm so glad you did this as I've been wanting to know more and more about trips into North Korea since I recently watched FunForLouis' videos when he went there. I don't think I'd have to guts to visit the country myself, I'd end up doing something wrong by accident, but I would totally love to do this trip you guys did!

[@KaraandNate]

You should!

[@WiiTiffTiff]

By touring North Korea you'd support their horrible regime. They don't believe in human rights and make their people suffer...Why would you want to support human injustice like that? What about all the people in the work camps? FunForLouis vlogs are nothing more than self promotion for himself. If he really cared about people he wouldn't have visited a country that abuses its power and also abuses and subjects their people to terrible living conditions and punishments. Plus that tour he was on didn't show any of that, yet was a cookie cutter version of north korea which is just a façade.

[@WiiTiffTiff]

John, I never told them to not express her opinion and I never said their opinions were wrong. But lets be real north korea is terrible to its people and by visiting their country that money you'd spend would go towards that. Also I never talked about safety in america compared to north korea so I'm not sure why you put that in your argument. That had NOTHING to do with what I said. But you can't ignore the fact that North Korea violates a lot of human rights. If its so "safe" then why don't you move there? So next time you want to be a keyboard warrior I suggest you actually respond to what I had mentioned in my comment.

[@melkorschmaggert820]

Doing our visit there to South Korea we also has the pleasure to visit have dinner with many of the military soldiers along with going to many of the memorials regarding the Korean War and paying our respects to all those who give their life for our freedom. It was the 60th anniversary of the Korean War so we also got to view the reenactment of the battle which was done close by the area we were visiting.

Kara you absolutely have the best smile! I love watching you guys travel!

[@vishnuprasad2843]

Thank you guys. 13 minutes of this video gave me information that I couldn't get from a book. And this was the first time I'm seeing at least a part of the propaganda village.

I love how SK messes with NK on the DMZ. They have their guards only half visible as seen in your videos, the ones next to the buildings. They have also been known to place ball bearings in the cuffs of their trousers(they make a metallic noise when you walk, like chain link armor) to let the NK guards hear them coming and that they are always watching

Heyyy I’m really hoping that you’ll come visit my channel. I’m trying to achieve my dream of being a creator here on KZbin and the only way that’s possible if I get noticed. Thanks in advance!!

That film spoke of the war in 1950. My father fought there at that time. Thru little snippets of conversations I heard he was pretty scared if not traumatised. As war does to soldiers. I wasn't born yet

[@stuartofblyth]

Best of your vlogs I've seen so far (came late to the party and am still catching up), and surprisingly moving in its way. Thank you for taking us where the rest of us are unlikely to go, and for giving us a glimpse behind the current sabre-rattling news headlines.

[@KaraandNate]

+Stuart of Blyth Thank you 💜

[@stuartofblyth]

My pleasure. A quotation for you: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page” (St Augustine of Hippo).

[@ffestivelizzie]

I would literally be terrified to do this. Props to you. 👏🏻

[@Wolfy-nz7vz]

Thank you for showing a part of the world that I will never see.

as a Korean, i appreciate your talk at the end about being a tourist at the DMZ. it's important to remember that there are real people suffering in North Korea, as well as Korean families that have been separated since the war. this is people's livelihoods and real experiences, not just a "crazy sight" to see. the politics of it are very nuanced, and no one can really say for sure what the higher-ups think on both sides. even i can't say, because this is such a complicated, drawn-out issue that has implications beyond my lifetime. i also don't appreciate it when people act like it's disgusting to want to go to North Korea because it "supports the regime." obviously no one wants to support the regime, but personally, i have family from North Korea and would love to see their hometowns there someday. as of now, as both a Korean and U.S. citizen, that's just not possible for me, but it's a personal desire for many Koreans like myself, and no one else should be allowed to judge. it's OUR history. North Koreans are still Koreans. people need to show humanity when they visit, not treat our division as a joke. so thank you.

[@johnblaesel5493]

As an American, I would have loved visiting North Korea, mainly out of curiosity. But since NK blames the U.S. for not being able to reunite with the South and for everything else, there is a risk they would concoct up a charge in an excuse to detain me and use me to gain concessions. That’s why shortly after the Otto Warnbier tragedy, the U.S. Department of State banned all U.S. citizens from visiting North Korea.

[@kitkat5339]

When I was stationed in South Korea years ago, one of my acquaintances was a wealthy businessman. His family was split when the war started. I will never forget his sadness when he related the story. Despite all his wealth, he could do nothing for his sister in the north. The division is a tragedy.

[@paulamatthey9878]

Good thoughts guys. Well done!

[@KaraandNate]

+Paula Matthey thanks! :)

[@ryanmundt9628]

Ten years ago I did a week tour of North Korea and the rules were oddly very relaxed on the north side of the border.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Congrats on 60K!!!!!! 🎉😎🤗

[@KaraandNate]

+Just Call Me Annie thanks Annie!!!

[@Prateekgnlu4]

You two need to talk to people from the Travel channel or something and get a show going! Great video as usual!
