@@deleted836 The person is young trans woman from the United States of America, probably born as a male, transitioned into a female, and this person says she is an "expert" in North Korea athletics all while studying in South Korea. A lot of foreigners may choose old-sounding names because they are reading from a textbook, and the textbook may lean traditional. The un-prettyness is probably so because the person has chosen the name without consultation from native Korean speakers. The guy probably just chooses the name solely from the Hanja or something, while native speakers will analyze a name based on Hanja meaning and sound.

They're not that closed. There are tourists there altough I believe they have gone lengthy administrative works and whatnot. International presence like here in the Olympics I think is necessary for NK. It may serve as a political move to show their capabilities and competitiveness against what they believe as their enemies (SK, the US, etc) I also think how the event could influence their athletes in some way or give them some new perspective about other countries. They are subject to a lot of propaganda and brainwashing, but I think there's still some human sense of belonging in them to connect to other people. The South and North Korean table tennis teams took a selfie in the podium the other day, and I think that's sweet
