The Dark Side of North Korea

One of the most prominent figures from North Korea is Kim Il Sung, who was Kim Jong Un’s grandfather. He was born in Korea but moved to Manchuria and it was there he joined the anti-Japanese fighters. He successfully moved up the ranks until he joined the Soviet army and became a captain...

I didn't know North Korea had a "bright side".

[BeSm-qqrs]

Kim's own people would rip him into pieces if they ever got the chance.

[Krutchly]

They make the Nazis look like boy scouts.

[allenlawrence]

Kim needs to be in prison and his family needs to be there to

[OscillatorCollective]

NK is the saddest and most terrifying place on earth…

[BacklashMR]

I’ve had the pleasure to meet some North Koreans (and some Iranians) the general populace are not like their governments. They want to live in peace, safely, free of persecution and free to live their lives much like all of us.

[majorkursk]

We all saw how they treated a visitor who took a poster from a hotel. Why would anybody want to visit this horrible place?

[mikeklinger]

The big shock is we now have a North Korean defector telling us our woke colleges and government are doing similar things!

[palodoxaliqua]

Nothing new here, but I guess it's good to remind everyone once in a while what the loss of democracy could lead to and that people may never rebel even if they suffer and perish due to their obedience

[jimihendrix]

I wasn't aware North Korea had a 'bright side.'

[pepinillorick]

Talking about the dark side of NK is like talking about the wet side of water

[johnbruenn]

It’s hard to believe a country like this even exists in modern times.

[shinola]

Once a government like that seizes power it's almost impossible to change. It's not hard to imagine that happening even in 1st world nations. And technology is just making it easier .

0.46% of North Korean citizens in North Korean Prison. ---- 0.57% of US citizens in US Prison.
You draw your own conclusions.

[commonsenseisntcommon]

So sad, I feel sorry for all those people who did nothing wrong except be born in N Korea.

[davidjones]

Who in their right mind would want to go to North Korea as a tourist?

[markcargill]

So Sad For The People From The North.
You Are Not Forgotten.
Love From Scotland.

[littlehuey]

So so sad that in this modern world we still have this kind of rulers !

[jordanl]

For there to be a dark side, there must also be a bright side, and I don’t believe that is possible in that country. There is only dark in a place like that unfortunately.

[johngoard]

It must be awful to live there and I could not stand the oppression that prevails. The way that their own people are literally starved into submission while their leaders play with nuclear weapons.
