Rare Drone footage over Pyongyang in North Korea (empty streets) | Exclusive

It's very rare to get the opportunity to have drone footage inside North Korea. This footage is courtesy of Koryo Tours and was taken during the Pyongyang Marathon in 2019.
It provides a rare look into the capital city of North Korea, Pyongyang. You can see various monuments and streets. The streets are deserted; yes - because the roads have been closed for the Pyongyang Marathon..!
To note: the drone footage is taken by a member of the North Korean travel company we work with. The footage belongs to @koryotours who are also the official partners of the Pyongyang Marathon (now officially called the Pyongyang International Marathon).

Great to see the channel growing Zoe. Cheers from Chongqing China Alex

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Hey, thanks so much!

[@Reporterfy]

@@ZoeDiscovers are you still with the travel company that organised tours to DPRK

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Yup, koryo tours! Although North Korea is still closed 😔

[@Vidyagameenjoyer]

Bro even the trees look malnourished 💀

[@ZapRowsdower47]

North Korea has the biggest sidewalks on earth!!! (The Roads barely have any cars)

[@intoscr]

i wonder if those building are even in used

[@Jeancarvalho153]

The US propaganda is so hard that makes us think that they build an entire city just to play a prank on us. Seriously, NK doesn't give a F* about what we think of them. They are just a heavily sanctionated country looking for sovereignty in an imperialist world led by the US. If we take a closer look to the history of the korean war, where US bombings killed 1/5 of the country's population and they still managed to survive and rebuild, it is quite an impressive achievement. Thus explains their loyalty for kim il sung who led them in the war against both imperial Japan and US

[@jhosk]

Wow, look at all those cars!

[@ZoeDiscovers]

The roads were closed for the marathon...

[@lukaswilliam97]

This video was sponsored by Kim Jong Un 😬

[@TresLucin]

Lmao what I’m saying

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Then at least it would be sponsored by someone 🥲

[@RumBuDum]

@lukaswilliam97 No, just because it shows a part of the DPRK as a normal place doesn't mean it's propaganda. It's really a tell that so much of the propaganda you've been fed about it is so often so negative that you can't even see a video of the country being normal without thinking you're seeing propaganda.

North Korea has its own rules to protect its country from the influence of a Few Global Elite Criminals in the name of the World and Neo Colonialists who want to seize and enslave the countries of this world,...…..and some countries in this world they become Slaves of some The Global Criminal Elite, ........North Korea is an Independent State in the True Meaning...

[@georgemadalincirjan]

Does they have the power to run?

[@shantech8079]

NORTHKOREA IN LEAVE ME ALONE MODE

[@CooTooF]

Sounds like the soundtrack for a Cartoony PS2 game. When people start making homemade PS2 games you could just rip this to a project like that

[@Comradpetito]

This city is a map of a ps2 game.

[@CooTooF]

@@Comradpetito Are you referring to how empty it looks? How unique it looks? Both, or both with also other reasons?

[@kennyyoung5282]

Would be amazing to able to fly a drone in the DPRK

[@NisseOhlsen]

WTF ?

[@isonic9479]

Did you fly over the boarder to NK or are you flying inside NK?

[@이철-j7r]

The street is no car?????

[@elchicovip01]

Aparently the streets are for people, not cars.

[@cherrycrushxo]

My dream is to go to North Korea! It seems lovely 🥰 lots of attractions and nice people

[@legalisecrack]

I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss?

[@Dero561]

[@jasmines.6325]

You'll like it so much you'll never be able to * cough* I mean you'll never want to leave hehe. Oh no sorry I misspoke don't send me to the gulag noooooo

[@NekoAerospaceSFS]

Hello, cheers from the USA! I one day wish to visit North Korea, but I doubt that I'll ever get to :(

[@ZoeDiscovers]

I hope you can one day!

[@aaronye4857]

Amazing!

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Thanks!

[@charlesk1089]

What are your impressions when you see such deserted streets during the day in the capital and largest city of the DPRK ?

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Well, this one is marathon day so it's not weird in that context to have empty streets - the streets feel particularly empty, though, because they're so massive. so it''s quite the experience... But also, unless you're looking from drone shots, you'll never feel it quite as much as you're running through crowds of people cheering you on!

[@spriteblood]

Cleanest town on earth

[@lagillas]

why the roads?

[@SEETORONTO416]

Where are all the cars?

[@kricku]

Oh, those Volvos not good enough for you?!

Amazing

[@NpcOfTheYear]

Creeeeeepy

[@bcshelby4926]

..interesting they have their own version of the Arc de triomphe.and mini "Volkshalle" Interesting that in none of the shots the triangular shaped Pyongyang hotel which never opened. I wonder how many of those colourful apartment towers seen near the end are even occupied.

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Yes the marathon doesn’t go past Ryugyong Hotel (the triangle hotel )

[@ZoeDiscovers]

Actually their Arc de Triomphe is taller than France’s too..!

[@sf6199]

Long live the DPRK! The only true, free, independent and sovereign Korea

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

i love north korea !

[@dextardextar]

gross

[@elwoodblues6314]

Have fun in Pjöngjang.

[@pizdrinkah]

unironically the no cars thing is a benefit.. no threat of getting ran over every time you go somewhere especially for kids

[@elchicovip01]

Not to mention polution, sound, stress, car payments, car insurance, car taxes and the high taxes for street repairs.

[@hugochavez1287]

Lmao. You made this video as clickbait for DPRK haters and the biased KZbin algorithm.

[@auggieeast]

What is it really, some kind of special event?

[@GARDENER42]

@@auggieeast No, every day life in NK, where everyone has to run to work because they can't afford the bus fare.

[@ZoeDiscovers]

sometimes you gotta play the game!

[@auggieeast]

@@GARDENER42 But there wasn't a single car. The rich and powerful have cars, plus not even a bus in sight there. The road looks closed off to vehicular traffic to me.

[@bcshelby4926]

@@auggieeast ...precisely, as it says above, for the marathon event.
