This olympics will have a lot of reports of "lost people"

For Pyongyang airport that is probably one of its rare busiest days.

[yehsuhm]

This is the North Korean video that isn't propaganda.

Don't even think about it, remember, we have your family.

0:02 - 0:07 genuinely thought that was Kim Jong Un with them for a moment in the back left 😂

[rachelcookie]

0:30 can’t help but notice the lack of New Zealand on that map

Their airport looks empty and sterile. They look strange too. Their dresses are very strange.

How many will be defected in 2 weeks? Are they wearing ankle monitors?

[roryh]

I’ve never seen people look this unhappy

[benatroxxyt]

The biggest chance ever to get escape 😂

[be_like_aghorie]

The actual "do or die" scenario

[javierpacheco]

They look like they are gonna work at the airport, not participate at the Olympics 😅

[thekevguy]

One thing you must recognize, even with the limited access to international participation, they still get medals when they participate.

A total of 2 flights on the departure board in the airport. I guess they've reached the airport handling limit.

My grandfather was from South Korea but was always happy to see North Koreans on tv. He said it reminds him of his younger days. He left South Korea when he was 30 but he said that South Koreans today do not look like him. North Koreans look more like his people.
