5 Creepiest Places in North Korea

Many North Korean defectors who have managed to escape by traveling through China think of their secretive home country as a haunting place. Five particular spots within North Korea stand out to those who know about them for their propagandist nature and strange history...

Imagine holding an entire country hostage so you don’t get killed

I think North Korea itself is the creepiest as a whole

Your thumbnail is literally a restaurant with three hamburgers on top of eachother. And you circled them.

When I was patrolling the DMZ, we would watch them bus people in to make the city seem alive. It was the weirdest place I’ve ever been to.

narrator is having a one man rap battle with himself

I bet you nobody knows what the creepiest places in NK are. These are just the ones we're aware of.

Kim's probably got some torture dungeons that make the Saw look like a Sunday brunch with the Temperance Movement.

It's so odd. I remember this channel only being text music and a picture.

Eric Cartman would love that empty theme park.

This man talk like his rent due in 10 minutes. He even slur some of the words because he talk too fast.

I was a Combat Engineer in Korea 1977-1979. I attended a briefing on the tunnel systems the North had built under the DMZ. At the time the South Korean military and the U.S. Army had publicly identified (from what I remember) a total of four tunnels under the DMZ. At this briefing we learned there were actually fourteen tunnels that we knew of, some were "under observation" to catch any infiltrators that emerged. One was discovered just before I left the country and I was called up with a team of Engineers to sweep the entrance for booby-traps. Upon discovery, the North had flooded the tunnel, and South Korean Marines were attempting to explore it in small three-man rubber rafts. Some of the tunnels being watched were wide enough for four men to walk abreast and had a narrow-gauge railroad down the center. Tunnel three was the big one, bored through rock and big enough for APC's to move through.

lol "an insufficient quantity of affordable food" quite the fancy way of saying "starvation"

[phuturem]

This is so sad. Imagine being born there and being unable to escape. These people need our compassion

[risakyu]

the only thing i'm grateful for being born is the fact i wasn't born in north korea

[LtRyanPYT]

I'd love to throw on an invisibility cloak and just explore North Korea.

It's basically a Dystopian Narrative, and is so mysterious that no one really knows what it is like besides those that defected.

It's like some primal side of me that really needs to see what it's like, there.

Kim Jong-il: "Guys hear me out, I have a whole new recipe that shows off our great North Korean cooking. How about we cook a meat patty and slip between 2 slices of bread?"
His chef: "So like a hamburger?"
Kim Jong-il: "Ok buddy you just bought a one way ticket to the stadium"

Curiosity. Volvo cars send a bill every six months for cars North Korea bought in 1974. The bill is now over dollars and the country has never taken an effort to pay it. Lesson is. Never sell anything to Kim

[이동연-cd]

All places in North Korea are the creepiest place on Earth.

My dad always spoke of his time in the military while in South Korea. His base was on the border of South Korea, so close that looking out you could see the woodline that led to North Korea.
He always speaks about how at night hed stand guard watching the woodline at night. He said that you could hear opera music playing, and that there was always a sense of being watched. Very creepy stuff.
Thankfully nothing ever happened, but damned if something like that isnt creepy.

[NoelKerns]

it should be noted that a LOT of the footage used in this video has nothing to do with anything in North Korea. As an example, the abandoned buildings shown at 3:35 are in Pripyat, Ukraine.

[garymckee]

It's hard to comprehend how dictatorships like North Korea's still exist.
