Mayday (Labor Day) Celebration in North Korea

[@Satorusan24]

There's no plactic girls like their neighbor at south. Authentic vs Artificial.

[@EstradaFranco]

Hahaha

[@Sambelyummy]

true

[@guns5625]

koment nya pd aneh aneh nih orang bule.. salam buat WNI di sana mas jaka, selalu jaga kesehatan, dan Insya Allah aman selalu

[@Ferifroyo]

seru ya disana.. banyak sekali Event yg mendidik dan mencintai budaya sendiri. hebatnya lagi bangga terhadap budaya nya..

[@MyFableVids]

There are a lot of cuties in North Korea

[@bryanholden1558]

Quite unlike plastic Americans

[@DPWrepublic]

in major city like Pyongyang? Yes.

[@TheEmagicmtman]

Thanks so much, Jaka! Another great post from you! I am glad you had the opportunity to get up so close and interact with the dancers. Looks like you were participating, too. Although I'll probably never visit the D.P.R.K., I feel your posts give me a better idea of what day-to-day life is like. In 1970 I cut sugar cane for four months in Cuba; for a few days our brigade cut cane with volunteers from the D.P.R.K., and had the opportunity to chat with some members of this brigade (now, 46 years later, they'd be senior citizens, like myself) our conversations were necessarily superficial. Your posts give me a better idea of life there.

[@zlayer12]

mas jaka, sy adalah penonton yg pengen liat sesuatu yg lain dan sy dapet dr chanel ini, sebagai masukan klo bisa jangan jawab orang2 yg slalu bilang ini adalah propaganda, lama2 liatnya eneg hehehe, apalagi terprovokasi untuk membalas komen2 yg berbau politik,salam dan trus upload video2 yg banyak yah :)

[@fahimtajwar1989]

look at these women, no hair color no fancy cosmetics still very beautiful and happy!!!!

[@muscariwhites]

FAHIM TAJWAR you do realise they aren't allowed , Jun allows 18 different hair cut no colours or anything that stands out

[@ptfodity]

FAHIM TAJWAR they don't look too happy

[@engespress]

Propaganda from Zionists. These Zionists are obsessed with fake hair stories about North Korea.

[@jordiherrera8211]

No Freedom too

[@bryanholden1558]

Jordi Herrera, define freedom.

[@ivanteo1973]

Natural beauties with no plastic surgeries.

[@felisextraterrestris4303]

this looks so different from first may "festivities" in berlin - antifa burning cars and smashing shop windows.

[@nlstudy]

Beautiful colors

[@kussjuriette5357]

I really really really dream with having one of those dressess, they're so colorful and pretty~

[@jeremytegouch676]

a peacefull country

[@johnturner5700]

Peaceful citizens. Stupid leaders.

[@sswiths5328]

North Korean chicks are the cutest.. Haters missing out..

[@sswiths5328]

Nah, they don't miss out anything.. a lot better than the south, where they have to work their ass off too many hours just to keep up with expensive rents and bills..

[@ikhwan7981]

berasa seperti liat zaman2 kerajaan korea gtu, keren juga

[@fabianlaguzzi4856]

Thanks for the video, Greetings from Uruguay!!!

[@squeegie]

I have always wondered why North Korean men don't wear their Hanbok (Traditional Clothing). In South Korea we have Hanbok for both men and women. I don't think I remember seeing any men wearing Hanbok in any NK documentaries or other sources.

[@shemphoward9153]

That what was fascinating Jaka, sort of Mesmerizing actually. Also some stern but nice looking gals waltzing around there. Some foreigners dancing with the locals too?

[@arieshwang8562]

waahh serunya coba diseoul ada perayaan sprti itu trs wanita korea utara bnr2 alami ya rmbtnya ga disemir warna pelangi cwo2nya jga serasa lihat korea th 70an

[@indym96]

[@pamandoblang.]

[@esthersanthi1477]

[@mdwimasnur7137]

how beutyfull they are. 😌

[@tonymontana5753]

i want to dance with a north korean girl.

[@austinfrancis836]

interesting culture 😍😍

[@-SUM1-]

+Slosh Mike Yours must be a culture of idiots.

[@usuariozero3858]

Slosh Mike ??? They dont sell smoke and mirrors, they are very hermetics.

[@serbanandreimarin]

2:20 What is the name of this song? Thanks in advance

[@Turnet47]

Sometimes I would like that other countries had a similar culture and perform similar activities. You know, like dancing to traditional music, play instruments, read books, traveling, sports, having healthy fun with friends, theatre etc. Our culture in some aspects is completely decadent. That is what I like about the socialists countries. People live an overal peaceful life and do healthy activities.

[@kuba9680]

In other words: what socialism tried to destroy before realising it was necessary, and then ham-fistedly enforcing it.

[@muscariwhites]

noledareminombreaunamaquina but not allowed to have normal internet or TV, even if they have one, having to abide to one of 18 haircut as set by the king, all songs are about the king.

[@Hagervily]

noledareminombreaunamaquina Russia? has plenty of music different varieties.. :v Its technically a socialist country?

[@djunior874]

No Dakota, no it's not. It has not been socialist since 1991.

[@NaturelDeese]

how is the weather in North Korea? as far as seasons is it ever hot as in you can wear short sleeve dresses( unsure if foreigners have a dress restriction)

[@vesnaKrasiva]

Who is interested, then most likely they do not dance because they want it. In Russia, there is still such a thing, if you work at a state enterprise (hospital, school, factory, etc.), then some employees should attend such events (Mayday, sports events). This is called "the order". Each department must provide a certain number of people.

[@njY2K]

Hey Jaka, were you a diplomat? You had access to Internet, so you must have been a VIP.

[@carlosvinhas4266]

njY2K asking the real questions! I've already asked what Jaka was doing there but he didn't answer

[@farrelfzeta6908]

+Gonzo W. How bad your moral is by judging people a propagandist without any knowledge. Jaka Parker was an Indonesian diplomat from 2012-2016. At that time, he and his wife were working for Indonesian's Embassy in Pyongyang, DPRK. Therefore, all of the video that he uploaded to his KZbin channel are all recorded while he was still there. They (Jaka and his wife) don't work for Kim, but they worked for Indonesia because Indonesia has diplomatic relationship with DPRK.

[@farrelfzeta6908]

+Gonzo W. Don't judge people with your basic and probably unproved knowledge. You don't know anything about Indonesia-DPRK relationship, details about Jaka Parker probably because you are not Indonesian, you don't even know how to speak well, don't know how to think before speak. What else? You should see yourself in front of your mirror and that is you. If you know all that I just said, you might not be like that.

[@sshark5007]

Stop and think about why you believe this is the only possible explanation for you. I'll tell you why: it's because you're completely brainwashed by the image the media have set for you of North Korea and North Korean life.

[@scream8448]

Pretty to watch and it does look like they are having fun. I sure hope they have a choice if they want to participate though.

[@sammcclelland8459]

Great video..very perplexing though..I enjoy your work..keep it up

[@Peloria]

at 9:50 there is the most beautiful lady in a black and yellow hanbok! I think hers stood out the most for me. too bad she will never know her true potential and worth. thanks for the vid, makes you think on deeper levels

[@anisasolikha6538]

mayday disana bisa begitu yak? nari, pakai baju kebudayaan, seneng banget lagi. warbyasahh..

[@pamandoblang.]

mereka bangga dgn kebudayaannya sendiri. ribuan orang yg menari tampak kompak dan sama gerakan tariannya. salut

[@jeremytegouch676]

kakak tinggal berapa hari di Korea Utara naik nya pesawat lewat Beijing ya naik air Koryo? untuk apa kesana??

[@ayuprabandari3535]

Hai mas jaka ,saya dan suami akan berkunjung ke korea utara,mas jaka tinggal di korut sampe th brp ya?

[@Lawi_Jake]

Juche is the best! Mandatory applause. #thank

[@bdenko]

feels like playing harvest moon when u participate in some dancing festival lol

[@squeegie]

Even in North Korea all you see in crowds are hands up in the air with their phones and cameras filming.

[@louiedelapaz1984]

9:23 very beautiful women ❤❤❤

[@johnturner5700]

Come on Jaka. Let's see some video outside the city. What are the rural areas like? Are they all dancing and dressed up in bright shiny dresses like in your videos? When will you show us around the country? We're tired of Pyongyang.

[@jakaparker]

+John Turner Why don't you record by your self? Do you want to pay me take a tour outside Pyongyang?

[@johnturner5700]

No Jaka. I would love to visit North Korea. From the little I've seen it's a beautiful country, but an American in NK with it's current leader in power would be dumb. I just want to see what it's like outside the city. I like to get out of the city, go camping and fishing in the mountains. I like the outdoors. All you show us is the city life of Pyongyang. Show us some people enjoying the outdoors. Camping, fishing, hiking, canoeing, white water rafting, kayaking. Show us outdoor music festivals, concerts, Barbecue cooking contests. Surely there is more to do in NK than attend festivals in Pyongyang?

[@bryanholden1558]

An American as a tourist and not a paid CIA spy would be most welcomed in the DPRK

[@johnturner5700]

A risk I'm not willing to take.

[@johnturner5700]

So I can just fly into NK, rent a car and travel the countryside on my own?

[@miriampena1445]

its so funny and beautiful thanks jaka 😛

[@bringitdown96t]

Ooh how cute theyre dancing with the journalists

[@DrVegasIII]

How bout the random white guy 6:41... left edge of frame in black shirt and jean shorts 🤣🤣🤣🤗

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Beautiful dresses. I noticed the foreigners, some can dance, some can't. I wonder all those dancers. Do they get rest periods? Do they get to eat? Do they have something to eat?

[@jakaparker]

Yes they do

[@Real_British]

whoa you got front seat and btw did Kim Jong un come to see this?

awesome vid

[@bsoddy]

What is the name of the song from 1:38?

[@723lion]

despite dprks military activities, these folks are just living their daily lives, enjoying every moments that are given.

[@IbnuHadidAzz]

Enak juga musik yang pertama

[@andyabdr]

Terimakasih mas

[@northkoreakp834]

thank you for your video

[@junie0893]

the haters are from south korea

[@60mmmortarcrewfdcs.koreana62]

America actually. I am south korean and I like these videos

[@aperezto]

That is beautiful, I would like to visit north corea.

[@ChristianJiang]

Love it! I'm going to NK this summer

[@SavitriRose]

do they have to dance? or are they doing this willingly?? also whats the 125 for?

[@Thunderboid]

if im not mistaken , its year 125 for them. not 100% sure.

[@heukmoon4156]

125돐=125돌(south korean) 125th anniversary for something.

[@locouk]

SavitriRose I doubt they're allowed to pull a sickie, everything is done under some kind of duress.

[@nikitantuma5596]

Such beautiful clothes and exact dance moves.

[@amnesia5468]

0:09 I see song hee kyo there

[@keresekplastik2272]

Kayaknya lebih cantikan org Korut yg terlihat natural dan mempunyai PERSI wajah yg bermacam..GK kayak Korsel wajah wanita hampir semua sama kerna cantikya akibat oplas..

[@YankeeZiggy]

Question does North Korea have it on fire department?

[@Nomad9657]

how about yours? what a stupid question

[@jennese125]

+ivan yau you don't have to be mean you know..... NK leader likes to keep his country isolated, so you can't fault us outsiders to wonder such small or trivial things...

[@NaturelDeese]

Midwestern_Law no such thing as a stupid question

[@YankeeZiggy]

How is it a stupid question? What if a fire starts, do the locals put it out? Or in the city area is there an actual fire department that can do that.

[@YankeeZiggy]

ivan yau You deal realize that NK is an isolated country right? How does us "outsiders" wanna know a question... smh.

[@3D4Ureel]

Yeah but what are you gonna do in case of sudden war? Do you have a plan c or at least where to run?

[@3dcrazy332]

They all know exactly where to go. Not like USA where it would be total chaos.

[@junclj]

Labour day just dance for whole day from morning until evening so tired.

[@TRNoobGamer]

How do you filming? I knew north korea as a ban country,how do you reach youtube..

[@malingote]

Jaka, is it difficult to practice islam in DPRK (Halal meat, mosques etc...)? Have you met any North Korean convert? Would it be legal for a North Korean to convert to Islam?

[@jakaparker]

+Greisa T You will find the answer on the next video about 'Muslim in North Korea. Thanks

[@Andf-kc4xx]

You keep saying it's peaceful. So tell me. How feasible would it be for a White European to fly over there to live and become a citizen and be able to do all of the things that one can do in the western world. Can I travel freely around the state? Can I visit Wonsan? Are condoms real there? What are cancer treatments like? How often does power go out? Does the power go out through the whole state? You should really do a Q&A video. Why don't you make a video also commenting on the false narrative the rest of the world has created regarding North Korea, and correct all of the misconceptions?

[@locouk]

GibsonSGfan462 666 Google "James Joseph Dresnok", he's an American who defected to North Korea. There are you tube videos about him too.

[@sshark5007]

Maybe you should get a dictionary and look up what "peaceful" means, because none of the questions you asked are directly related to peace at all. Access to modern conveniences of the western world aren't related to peace, in fact you could argue the opposite, given we are often taught in the west that we have the brave efforts of brave soldiers in past wars to be thankful of for today's prosperity.

[@purplehaze1560]

GibsonSGfan462 666 Except for "traveling freely" you just described every third world country...lol.

[@Andf-kc4xx]

S Shark you're diving too deeply into a KZbin comment that is not directed towards you at all. Stay in your lane bud.

[@Andf-kc4xx]

Green Silver Okay?

[@gaeshows1938]

in before haters calling this a propaganda

[@jeremytegouch676]

such a beautiful Placebo

[@Xeaza24]

The real korean 😂

[@iceberg789]

this looks like times from 70s or 80s, when capitalist firms did not force people to work on holidays and people actually knew to go out and celebrate with families. well, looks can be deceiving, but anyways, thanks for bringing back the feeling. :)

[@thejunkeraser5151]

LMFAO I love the comments that says everyone looks sad, Then I look up at the video and pretty much everyone looks joyful and happy. Americans gonna American.

[@fjxsu]

Hey Jaka are you allowed to Film outside of Pyongyang?

[@leoc439]

5:47 song name please??

[@GarnetStarz]

here's a game to play! It's called spot the tourists lol

[@ugurtekin8458]

North Korea 🇰🇵. I Love You ♥. I need a woman please

[@kd5txo]

@ 7:44 see one lonely Caucasian guy in the group....clapping like he belongs there... poor fool .

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Are these dancers average people, who have regular jobs, or are they professional dancers?

[@nigeldoong3001]

What do you work as in NK?

[@arsho7104]

I noticed the men didn't use the korean traditional clothes for the dance. Only the women. why was that?

[@canoiii7386]

salut saya ama videony bang Jaka. kereen pkoknya top deh saya suka ama korut.

[@jakaparker]

+Ichan Oi Terima kasih, cuma sayangnya sekarang di youtube banyak orang yang mengupload/mereupload tentang berita Korea Utara mau perang... padahal di Korut keadaan biasa2 saja...

[@yohnny8839]

Are they not allowed to dance another way?

[@jepolch]

I see your wife taking part in the dancing. Did North Koreans ever ask her why she is wearing a head covering? What did she tell them?

[@dabroj1710]

Are you even allowed to record in nk? And how do you upload it to youtube what if kim sees it lol

[@Sambelyummy]

Authentic vs Artificial, no plastic girls like their neighbor at south.

[@sandimandon7933]

I live in south korea...but i like north korea because its people are natural.if from indonesia whether to travel there

[@ilyasirman1052]

11:00 ada perempuan berkerudung apakah itu istri bang Jaka ?

[@jakaparker]

+Ilyas Irman Isteri saya juga ada di situ ikut merekam. Tapi yang mas lihat di video ini adalah teman saya sesama WNI, dia kerja di Korea Utara juga (bukan diplomat juga).

[@Framer_Mike]

looks peaceful and simple....

[@fatsackcat7251]

these people look like they were forced to be in the "festival" all sad dancing, almost like it was for a propaganda video

[@jessa8733]

very beautiful north korean girls

[@LaOuichA]

North korean women are sooo beautifull !!!

[@mirateo7548]

[@kuba9680]

Very nice music.

[@noddyg8091]

How come not one north korean woman have long hair? All have short hair

[@johncuervo3019]

The one in the thumbnail is mixed race. 00:08 she is white and Korean

[@omukade4431]

No,she isn't. Just because she has similar european facial features doesn't mean that she's white.

[@Soralella71]

Labor camp day?

[@Bab0ausBeton]

I thought religion is banned in NK. How can your wife wear the Hijab and show that she belongs to 1 of the big 3 religions?

[@kawanosoba5662]

just beautiful

[@andreas007x]

Orang Korea Utara Ramah Sama Turis Ya?!

[@aqilakbar1220]
