Me finding this channel is like someone finding a pot full of gold. This channel is fantastic

Glad to see you are back. Even though this video is very informative, I think it would be cool to get a deeper look into the everyday life structure of DPRK. I think topics such as sports (how are domestic leagues organized and run), entertainment (TV channels, cinemas, theatres, other activities), living arrangements (appartment allocations, shopping, travel, etc). This would be amazing.

I love the idea of a channel focusing on all aspects of life in North Korea. Keep it up

There's an interesting fact that, since people living in different provinces speaks in various accents and dialects, the ethnic Koreans in China also speaks in different accents, depending on where their ancestors migrated from.

Excellent video! Love from the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea 🇰🇵 You are a truly open minded foreigner showing and giving information about our Country which is very uncommon to see in this changing world. We wish you success for your future works ! ❤🇰🇵🌸

A wonderful and clean educational descriptor without greater politicization. I smashed that subscribe so quick.

This channel truly is underrated

Quite interesting, this explains pretty well about how the provinces function, thank you for making this.

My maternal family is from the North Pyeongan Province. Specifically the city of Jeongju (정주). They were Christians and Intellectuals, 'and worst of all', landowners, so had to flee South with all they can take with their bare hands when Kim Il-sung came to power. Meanwhile my paternal family are from the Gyeongsang Province.

All the visuals and editing seem so well put together.

This is so cool! Having a little window into the reality of a country, rather than a top-down view of its government is so valuable. The music is so cool too, I wish I could find some of it myself lol

Thank you very much for this video I always had a fascination of North Korea beyond its capital and seeing how you explained the provinces made me very happy.

Thank you so much for your video. The correct pronunciation of Pyangan-do is not Pyongan(편간도) but Pyong-an-do (평안도). As you explained in this video, Pyong-an is derived from Pyongyang's Pyong (평) and Anju's An (안). "G" pronunciation is not linked.

If you are willing to you should make a North Korea watch Discord server. I think because North Korea watching is such an obscure hobby having a central place to find links and research, as well as discuss it with others would be great. (I do not know how to run a discord server but I can help you compile links and resources)

Great videos! Think we could get one on the health system and medical challenges the country faces? I find it all very interesting..

i say this often under your videos, but your channel is very underrated for it's in-depth content and stellar quality

because of how outside media portrays the country it is easy to get a one sided view, but this helps to create a fuller picture. Foreign media is often filled with out of place complaining and not even basic facts about the country's provinces or railways could be talked about without some negative spin

A suggestion: Please include the hanja names of locations and provinces. It means a lot to me as a Chinese speaker and the characters speak for the local geography and political structure.

How have I never seen this channel before? looks good :)

My compliments for the choice of music in this video, loving it 🔥

I really love this! I know a fair bit but this video is a lot more insightful! Thank you for your enlightening yet informative NK vids! ❤

NGL....Never thought I would ever watch a 13 minute video on this.

I actually remember asking for a video like this when there were only a few videos on the channel, great to see this done always wanted to learn more on this.

Woah! North korea is a very intriguing country, your channel helped me to build a whole different view on the country which i've never had before! Just wanted to ask What songs did you use at 0:54 and 5:20?

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CHANNEL. You do a great job and go into great detail too. 10/10 Cheers from St. Louis, Missouri USA

A nice little video keep up the good work.

Great to learn more about the lesser known parts of the DPRK!

The production on this channel is great! Keep it up, the KZfaq gods have turned their eyes upon you.

Oh by the way you should do a video on the diplomatic relations of the DPRK. Their relationship with Mongolia is very interesting to me. (Their president gave a lecture in Pyongyang). I know that China is a major importer of North Korean raw materials and Coal. They also have an embassy in my country South Africa. Kim Jong Un sent our president a letter a couple of years ago. (North Korea trained and armed the ANC to some extent during apartheid).

Welcome back!

Your Videos are, as Allways, well Done and Informative! Keep up the Great Work!

3:50 No, the provinces were altered during the Joseon dynasty. (before the Korean Empire) Although the De Jure map of provinces would not change, Kings of Joseon dynasty appointed two governors for each province, and two had their own land to govern in each province. Usually, these governors would split their own areas based on geographic features, and the de facto provincal map would eventually be set up by the imjin war. Admiral Yi, for example, oversaw Jeolla 'Left' province's navy, showing that Jeolla province was split between 'Left' and 'Right'. The 'splt' was rather informal because Admiral Yi's title was 행 정헌대부 전라좌도수군절도사 겸 삼도수군통제사 전라좌도 means 'Jeolla Left province' 수군절도사 means 'Navy commander' 겸 means And 삼도 means 'three provinces' (they are: Gyeongsang province, Chungcheong province, and Jeolla province) 수군통제사 means 'Navy controller' which implies each provinces had two separate governments, but legally they were the same government.

Thank you, this has been yet another great video! With the talk about special economic zones and latest news about the restart of the use of the Russian-NK trainline in Raosn I think it would be interesting to talk about it one day. Until then I will continue to watch! Good luck.

Great video as always. You do the DPRK good.

Really interesting 🤔, Thanks for sharing

Your videos are awesome!

Awesome editing, well researched, and with nice narration too. My only critique is your audio quality. I think the video would be better if you made the music quieter and got a better mic.

Okay wow this so well made! and it's a subject i have been wanting to learn more about too! thank you so much!

I really like the music playing in the background. Can you provide a list of the songs you used?

thank you for your video

Great video, I was wondering if we could get a song list because I love the music!

Nice production value. Got yourself another sub

8:30 At that time, part of the part below Pyeonganbuk-do was originally an administrative district of Gyeonggi-do. After the Korean War in 1950, administrative cities such as Kaesong(개성), Gyeonggi-do, were incorporated into Hwanghaebukdo.

English pronounciation of Korean province names gives a similar vibe with Chinese

I’d love to know your sources. It really amazes me. It seems as if you had some sort of insider knowledge

Interesting and successful video; i like!

Do you have the source for your opening music? 🙏

Well Done!!!!

I’m here I. Watching your cool video

bug report, the national emblem u put at Dandong,PRChina is actually the emblem of “The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference(CPCCC)”, not the national emblem of PRChina.

Just imagine being able to hike through and explore North Korea. That would be incredible!

How does economic planning work in the dprk?

Could you write down the music used in the video?

Wonder video

Any linguistical topics planned for the future?

So much to delight the senses

1:19 Ooh, what music piece is this?

Can you open a boosty account? Patreon doesn't work in Russia

Where can I find more info on how the politics actually work on a local level? I understand its difficult to characterize as even with info on de jure mechanics, how it works de facto depends on having an amount of personal testimonies that I'm not sure we really have.

i am missing my paternal grand parents home , South Hamgyeong. Thank you for explanations with my wish, North korea shall soon be the largest country entity in favor of AUKUS and his majesty the king like singapore.

Hey man, awesome video! Does anyone know the first two songs of the video?

What’s that song you used in the intro?

what song is playing at 2:23-2:30

what is this music called?

VERY INTERESTING

music please?

이 채널 너무 개꿀임

british accent plus korean... did you go to SOAS?

My question is they have all of this agricultural land going on and they have all this agriculture, but their people are starving? Make it make sense.

What's the title of music in Kangwon part of video?

Good

Please include the occupied provinces of DPRK in south in the next part

남포시…

There is so much propaganda and just lies about this country it's incredible. Which isn't surprising, if you consider that the Dprk is one of the few countries outside the influence of the imperialists. They may lie about Palestine, they may lie about their own crimes, they may lie about north Korea, but that won't change the truth. Thank you for sharing such a deep look into this fascinating and unique nation

What song is playing at 2:23 - 2:30

what's the song at 5:02 ?

i hope i can go there

I think you meant say"Swathe" of land, you know, with a long A

@12:02 Is that a rabbit?

♥️🇰🇵

Why is in North and South Hwanghae? They should be West and East Hwanghae respectively.

I hope North Korea will open the economy

Lmao I did the exact same video!!!! Really curious to see how you do yours differentlyu lmao! excited

I was hoping they called the provinces, Districts.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

North Korean provinces are best Korean provinces!

12:03 big rabbit

All Hail the great super duper leader lil kim dong un!

God bless the DPRK!

🇧🇷❤🇰🇵

야 북한 정치범 수용소 보여줘라 저런 거지같은 생활 홍보말고

Actually we don't know anything about Chongjin as it's so poor no one is allowed to visit....

It's better to put Chinese characters when introducing those provinces, otherwise the names are just some pronunciations, while with Chinese characters the meaning of them vividly showed up.

Democratic or communist country ?

The underlaying music is unnecessary and quite disturbing and distracting.

North Kores Best Korea!
