00:00:00 North Korea's Greatest Show
Is North Korea changing? Its relations with the rest of the world appear to be thawing after last year’s ‘rocket man’ nuclear missile crisis but does this mean anything is actually changing inside this hermit kingdom? Unreported World joined a business trip aimed at attracting foreign investment just as the country prepared to celebrate its 70th anniversary. Included in Marcel Theroux’s tour is a visit to what North Korea has described as its ‘Benidorm’, the Wonson beach resort, and the country’s only ski resort. But his highlight is a seat at the first Mass Games, the largest choreographed gymnastics event in the world in the world’s biggest stadium, taking place for the first time in five years. The theme of the Games is peace but did he believe the country is really opening up?

00:24:06 North Korea's Reality Stars
Unreported World explores the new genre of primetime TV shows gripping South Korea: 'Defector TV'. For more than half a century North Korea has remained the most closed-off, repressive regime on the planet, fuelling fear and propaganda in South Korea. Now, some of the 30,000 North Korean defectors are finding fame and celebrity on ‘Defector TV' shows and social media by revealing the truth about life under the Kim dynasty. Other defectors-cum-activists are funnelling information in and out across the border in an attempt to undermine Kim Jong-un’s grip on power. Seyi Rhodes investigates what is being coined ‘The Information War’. At every turn this film will reflect what's really happening inside the secret state of North Korea.

We don’t hear a lot about North Korea. 👍🏻👍🏻

What a captivating documentary! My grandmother, a North Korean refugee who fled during the Korean War, found love and refuge in the arms of my grandfather, a black soldier. Their union defied all odds, resulting in the birth of my mother. Against all expectations, here I stand today, a testament to the resilience and strength of my ancestors.

You know you hit the lottery of life when you're not born in North Korea.

16:55 that fake smile the guy at the elevator made tell's me everything 😂😂😂

I have noticed many channels keep reuploading old videos making think viewers they just added a new video. This is not right.

[cyphrTube]

Y'all should think about including a release date with documentaries like this- it would help with context. Thanks!

Yeah this is all a thing of the past. 2017 and now are so different, its like day and night.
Covid made the whole place more isolated than it has ever been, and it still has even barely possibilities for diplomats (!) to enter.
The unification-statue was torn down, and the new credo is "there cannot be a peaceful reunification anymore", outsider are all to be kept out, and the preparation for a full war is ongoing.

The video has more historical value, despite it being only 7 years old

Soo Yungs testimony about her dad absolutely broke my heart 😢😢😢 North Korean defectors have such a thick wall up protecting their deep pain but its important they share these stories with us. Speaking out increases people who leave and find freedom

[Onbknd]

so clean but everything looks and feels like a filmset

[HeilendeMaya]

fun fact: the underground trains are original old trains from berlin. i used to ride them when i was little.

The sound effects on the South Korean show are unreal. It's like random sparkly sounds, bubble sounds, etc. Like, what? I love it, but it's also kind of absurd.

[cohall]

Very interesting and informative. Outstanding documentary, excellent reporters and writing.

[Shockiiie]

Pyongyang means " Flat Land". Only city in Korean Peninsula that doesn't have mountains. City area wise 10 times or more bigger than Seoul.

[aussieoutlawalt]

They take everyone to exactly the same places every time

The guy smiling in the middle of the group in the elevator at 16:56

[alexschindler]

Excellent documentary. Well done and very insightful

[massimochiacchia]

This was really good!! Gut wrenching and eye opening!

[Itsdashh]

Me: What’s it like living in North Korea?
Friend: Can’t complain

[jameysummers]

Umm, no it doesn't look like a "boom town". There is NO traffic and hardly anyone is walking around.

The Metro station on wall art like thomas shelby in peaky blinders 😂
