Growing up I was always weirdly interested in North Korea/the DPRK, and the Korean pensinula at large. While there was a lot of material on the South, not much existed about the North unless you wanted to read stories from defectors. This channel giving a look into the less political, more praactical side of the country, is unique.

Amazing quality yet again, definitely worth the wait.

Just in time! Underrated channel

DPRK Explained explains how the DPRK functions way better than other news outlets, I wish that this channel was more recognized internationally, as others can see how the DPRK works without having to take any sides.

This is awesome! I was turned onto this channel through your appearance on NKNEWS podcast and I’m a big fan. Thanks dude

Being an unused skyscraper that’s used to display beautiful LED imagery and is a staple landmark of the city, the Ryugyong Hotel reminds me a lot of One Times Square.

What a great video, and fantastic graphics. I’ve been lucky to visit the outside of the hotel when the light were on; it’s very impressive.

Another great video

Holy hell what a great job you do. I've been interested in the DPRK and have read a few books about it. Please keep up the work. Also, would you please link your podcast interview :)

The intro slaps!

As promised to the creator of this channel recently as of tonight, I checked out this video and once again it is impeccable presentation. Good job young man

Waiting 🤩

It looks a fascinating city. I look forward to more.

as usual, very detailed explanation! kudos to you! it's as if you lived there for a long time!

Awesome Ryugyong Hotel! The LED display is great and adds life and colour to the night scene of Pyongyang.

I was wondering when You are going to make a Video about Ryugyong Hotel! Thank You!

Great video as always ;) greetings from Poland!

I do hope it's finished officially one day! It's amazing!

Does anyone know the title of the music at 0:54? Edit: I found it. It's a rendition of Don't ask my name by Wangjaesan Light music banf Incase someone else is also looking for it here's the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldJ-Y5mUnceWk3k.html

Very nice

bravo 👏🤩

I've been interested in North Korea for so many years and I've finally come across this brilliant channel, thanks!

do you plan to add translated subtitles in your videos? Anyways, i really appreciate your work. keep it up !

Which cover of “Don’t Ask My Name” is used in this? Sounds cool.

ok so you say you are showing the culture and daily life. does those fancy hotels represent ordinary lives? Everything is clear in the way you talk about things.

can you make list with every skyscraper pyongyang maybe + 150 meters or +100 meters. and show us graphic

I like that you show it as a real place with real people who live their lives there. So much of the media about north korea makes it like almost cartoonishly evil and surreal

It's like something out of 1950s script for me

7:11 With this big Graphic Display it might be possible to run Doom on the Hotel of Doom. 😁

Teacher ben is that you?

But is it ubiquitous?

It's weird and refreshing to see contemporary construction that isn't just 5-over-1 gentrification cubes. North Korea is the last refuge of Postmodernism and High-Tech style, and it's hilarious to see.

It is surprising to me that you are actually have the british accent, since you always use korean accent within the whole videos....

Does anyone know how does housing work in NK? Like, how is the process like? Who gets to live in the newest parts? I imagine the people who live in the older neighborhoods have been living there since the start.

Can you do a video about sports in North Korea?

where can i see the future 3d renders?

great video again! but I'm still wondering if there are any real businesses inside those buildings, or are they just empty lonely building just to show off foreigners and locals with progress.

What I really like about Pyongyang? It’s all so colorful and everything fits together Where I live every new building has a different style that doesn’t fit with what’s already there

The worst about being fascinated by and majorly interested in NK is that instead of listening, I went "damn where did they find that sick instrumental of 'don't ask my name'" (no but really, where?)

I Have One Question, Have You Been To The DPRK Before?

The most beautiful and cozy modern city - Pyongyang

Your passion for North Korean affairs is infectious ❤. Love the nice touches about Sadong district. Literally cannot wait for Pothonggang and Sadong opening soon. North Korea has reached new heights with its modern architecture. Also looking forward to Hwassong district, apparently a lot of the Donju (elites) will be funding that project, attractive for its location (I.e, close to places of business). Rumours also that KJU wants Pyongyang's general hospital to open soon. 2022 must be North Korea's year to shine in modern development.
