My Final Day in North Korea – Is Anything Here Actually Real…
After spending five days in Pyongyang; I couldn’t stop asking myself, Is anything in North Korea actually real? Let’s find out.
Watch my full North Korea series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtJOOP5lIYJkdm0l6neTzL1G0hUaCx1iG
You’ll see visits to a study house and a taekwondo demonstration, offering glimpses into daily life and organized presentations. We’ll also try some North Korean pizza, which was suspiciously good… Throughout, there are moments that feel unscripted, like a dropped glass or an unexpected conversation, prompting reflection on what is genuinely happening versus what is being shown.
It suggests that perhaps the biggest misconception isn’t about the country itself, but about the ability to fully understand it from a brief, guided visit. Ultimately, the video highlights the ordinary humanity of the people encountered, challenging preconceived notions. Plus, there’s a small giveaway for those who follow along to the end.
