In another documentary, from one moment to another, the tour guide ‘disappeared’ and was replaced with a new, stricter tour guide. Interacting with foreigners is one of the riskiest things to do, living in NK, as before you know it, you’ll be in a re-education facility. These things are no joke, which is why tour guides get so pissed off if you don’t follow the rules. It’s their ass and their family’s ass that’s on the line.

Wow, I’m coming to this a decade late but this was some incredible journalism. Nothing was real here. He pulled back layer after layer of this choreographed performance they put on, yet we still never quite reached the true North Korean experience. It was interesting to see that the people of North Korea were not all that different from the rest of the world, only living in an antiquated society. Strangely, I don’t feel sad for them. I still wish they could experience the culture and technology outside their country.

12:40 I am currently 16 years of age and I was born and I am still living in the country of croatia which used to be part of yugoslavia. my parents and grandparents lived in yugoslavia (which was a communist country). I showed my mom this video and she said that those types of orchestras celebrating "the great leader" and their country and such orchestras were a completely normal thing. Since I was a child my grandparents had nothing bad to say about yugoslavia. After watching this documentary I understand why

[@1HUSEINKAPETAN1]

Can't say that Yugoslavia and North Korea were the same, I'd dare to say that they were not even similar. North Koreas is a Communist Monarchy, as weird as that may sound. It's almost a Communist Monarchy Theocracy, because they worship their Monarch like a God, while he promotes Communism. It's really weird. None of that happened in Yugoslavia, in fact Yugoslavia was the most Liberal Communist country you'll ever find.

[@skippydinglechalk1948]

The only difference is in Yugoslavia the leader was loved by his people because he actually led the partisans against the nazis, and was elected. Oh and didn’t commit any crimes against humanity

That's how a lot of South Koreans also say it; even the young ones (I lived there 2012-2014 and taught various ages from grade 2 > adult professionals). It's so weird because it's not like they don't have "ya" or "iya" sounds in Korean. But I guess the English "r" is hard enough to pronounce (their "ㄹ" is between our "l" and "r"), so then they have trouble with the following syllable? IDK, I never quite understood it.
