The only prank at an airport that I’ve ever seen was someone sticking a fake plug outlet sticker and watching people try to plug in their phones and laptops

I always found it sad that Kim Jong Nam was killed, dude literally ran away to find a peaceful life without his psychotic sibling breathing down his neck, and he still got chased down by the tubby tyrant.

The girls involved were basically indoctrinated for about 6months leading up to this, they were under the impression it was all for tv/KZfaq, and were given money for performing pranks like running up and holding a guys hand whilst walking with his partner etc. All their money they pretty much sent back to their families. All under the instruction of the filming team (that were actually North Korean agents) so they’d been doing this stuff for a while leading up to this, basically being trained without them knowing. They were told the oils were really bad for clothing so to be very careful with it, hence why they went to the bathroom afterwards to clean it off. One of the girls a few days after the event was even told by the tv crew (n.Korean agents) to return to the airport for another prank, she was seen on cctv returning and waiting in the airport for hrs, but they never showed up. She had no idea of what had happened during the last ‘prank’

I remember hearing about this case. It's insane, and one could only imagine what's done in their own country.

You know its serious when he uses that theme

23:05 First thing that comes to my mind: He obviously knew he was a potential target, and also knew NK's cloak and daggers can reach far beyond its borders. So he probably carried around all that money to literally bribe anyone that tried to assassinate him, obviously not expecting something as elaborate as 'two-part neurotoxin applied directly to the face from behind by would-be pranksters'. To be fair, he could probably get away with bribing them $5k, but he's also gotta account for multiple potential assassins on a single trip. And at that point, he's carrying around enough that it looks suspicious to legitimate authorities, so he's gotta carry even more to motivate them to look the other way.

I read a headline that it was a tv prank after it happened and thats all i heard of it. I genuinely thought this was just a crazy tv prank gone wrong and a coincidence who was killed. Crazy how a WMD can just be used in a crowded airport and not be the biggest news story on the planet.

Crazy how their excuse was “It’s just prank bro”

Korea has always been a taboo topic around the world, but when stuff like this happens, I am glad I can watch Muta explain every single bit of it. this is absolute news-quality content, brought by an even better looking man.

More videos like these, please? When you put a good amount of effort in videos they become amazing.

Most precursors of V-series nerve agents are as heavily restricted as the nerve agents themselves, so ease of smuggling would not have been a concern. The primary reason for using a binary agent was, as you mentioned, that the woman applying it would have been extremely unwell before reaching Kim, to the point that the attack may have failed, if unitary VX were used. Also just to clarify, these are not biological weapons and are instead chemical weapons. They are quite distinct in many regards such as mode of action and exposure, control, storage, etc.

Hey Muta a similar "prank" story you should cover is the recent assassination of Vladlen Tartarsky, a prominent Russian war blogger who was handed a statue by a woman who was told to hand it to him, Tartarsky blew up and the woman in question was stunned by the whole thing, similar to the women in this North Korean story.

North Korea is a perfect example of a modern day dystopia

You already know its going to be something serious when Mutahar opens the "x files scary music" folder while editing.

I've seen another video on this that's more sympathetic to the idea that the women really were just conned into this under the guise of the prank TV show. It covers their recruitment by their handlers and relationships with said handlers, and the lack of their relationship with each other until the after all the shit hit the fan. If anyone is interested, the video is by Rotten Mango and is titled something like '2 Girls Accidentally Kill Kim Jong Un's Brother". EDIT: this isn't a dig against Muta or anything, just an offer for additional information to those interested.

Monday you can fall apart. Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart. Oh, Thursday doesn't even start. It's Friday, I'm here for Muta's weekly take on world-ending scenarios video.

I hope That North Korea isn’t up to any evil plots, they’d never do That

I was in Malaysia when this happened. So scary you can just get assassinated in broad daylight in a busy public space

Rotten Mango made an extensive podcast on this specific case and about the lives of the women who were manipulated into this case. Very informative podcast, especially since Stephanie Soo is Korean, so she knows the language and translated a lot of the original sources She also covered another case from North Korea and the kidnapping of a famous actress woth her director husband, you should listen to it

You know it's serious when Muta doesn't say "Hello guys and gals, me Mutahar"

Wasn’t ready for a new plot drop I’m still reeling from the most recent arcs

As someone who often flies to KL this is super scary. Completely forgot that this took place in Malaysia...

No joke -- was at Tampa Intl Airport in 2004 with my drunk ex. He mouthed off to a security guard (in his defense he was in the right but still, drunk and mouthing off is never a good idea) and even though I flew back by myself I was obviously flagged, followed, searched, pulled aside, glared at by stewardesses, etc for my entire journey. It didn't matter how apologetic, polite or cooperative I was; that flag was taken incredibly seriously. A full 9 years later I flew again for the first time since and the same exact thing happened. I think I've got a lifetime flag and I was just asshole-adjacent. Don't F around in the airport, everyone.

I gotta say, this was hands down one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Truly hard hitting stuff and I could not pull myself away from my computer while this was playing. Keep doing great things Muta

You know the video is good when the video shows a warning at the beginning and a copyright disclaimer

Muta is just my news source at this point

I'm surprised North Korea had kept any relations with other countries than China. I remember this case, but I didn't realize how far they went to try and cover it up.

I too find it weird how people don't talk about this enough

You know when it starts with a disclaimer, suspense music and muta in the dark like a diablo 4 ghoul the video is gonna be a BANGER

God i love when muta uploads.

As a local, I'm still shocked that this ever happened when I first read the news several years ago. I'm glad this is getting more attention now, thanks for covering this Muta 👍

hey muta, i love these kind of videos. i request you make a series like this with videos of tragedies like assassinations, flight crashes etc. much love!

Muta mentions Tabun in passing in the vid, this is a story I read in a book about the effects of tabun: Because of the plant's deep secrecy and the difficult nature of the production process, it took from January 1940 until June 1942 for the plant to become fully operational. Many of Tabun's chemical precursors were so corrosive that reaction chambers not lined with quartz or silver soon became useless. Tabun itself was so hazardous that the final processes had to be performed while enclosed in double glass-lined chambers with a stream of pressurized air circulating between the walls. Three thousand German nationals were employed at Hochwerk, all equipped with respirators and clothing constructed of a poly-layered rubber/cloth/rubber sandwich that was destroyed after the tenth wearing. Despite all precautions, there were over 300 accidents before production even began and at least ten workers died during the two and a half years of operation. Some incidents cited in A Higher Form of Killing: The Secret History of Chemical and Biological Warfare are as follows: Four pipe fitters had liquid Tabun drain onto them and died before their rubber suits could be removed. A worker had two liters of Tabun pour down the neck of his rubber suit. He died within two minutes. Seven workers were hit in the face with a stream of Tabun of such force that the liquid was forced behind their respirators. Only two survived despite resuscitation measures.

I'm not a commenter person, but the quality of this video in specific is amazing Muta! I'd love to see more of these in the future. Topics like this written by big news agencies are kind of biased and somewhat not trustworthy.

Music adds such a different mood to the video, I love how this channel changed so suddenly

_Express VPN still keeps your originating country information and ISP “for crash reporting” through third party apps like crashlytics and sentry._ _So no, it’s not completely anonymous and yes they still log identifying information._

Great editting. Thanks Muta's editor

I hope you do more of these because this was a really well-done video.

This style of deep diving into a topic is super on course for you and really insightful. I hope you make more videos like this!

Could you make a playlist of your North Korea videos? It'd be interesting to binge.

Damn this was an amazing video/story. Very well researched

i like these type of content, and you did a pretty good style on how it was presented, looking forward seeing some more in the future :3

Yo man this is definitely a video type you should keep doing. I've not been so glued to a screen in ages

Thanks for educational videos muta. I'm glad you educate everyone on touchy topics KZfaq has a hate on showing unless you're a "news" channel

All my childhood horror fictional dreams getting closer to being true

That search term in the VPN sponsorship ad is gold.

I like how this is so deep that Muta put suspenseful music in the background of this video. Funny enough, this was more engaging to listen to, because of the music. It made me want to listen to every single moment of this video.

I REALLY like this new serious story format from you dude. I would love to see more like on the Khamar Daban incident.

This situation is brand new to me. I’m always blown away at the lengths people are willing to go in order to get what they want. They couldn’t just Ctrl+X the guy out in some simple way; they had to do it in one of the most dangerous ways imaginable. Great video, Muta! Thank you for sharing it!!!

This channel is so fucking dope man. I love all the random topics that Muta speaks on.

I love these kind of Muta videos.

Please make more of these videos, it was great

"Pranksters wouldn't do crazy shit at the airport" Maaaaaaan, give it time, someone will try it.

you know its bout to get crazy when Muda puts background music in a video

Now ain't this an absolute banger of a video. Keep them coming

Not expecting this from you, but this content was so good! Really love this and the podcast!

Love the content Muta. All the way from creepypasta readings, deep web browsing, tech tutorials. One of the greats after all these years!

When the red lights are on you know things are about to get serious.

muta is the best news giving that i will never get bored off

that video is such a banger that i come back to watch the entire thing now and then

I love when Mutahar get's all spooky on us.

It would've been really interesting to see how different North Korea would've been if this guy actually ended up taking power

love this type of content, very well done Muta!

damn, that dystopian music + Mutahar talking over it, giving me the chillllls

BABE WAKE UP NEW MUTAHAR VIDEO DROPPED

Kira did a good video on this subject. I bet he'd be a great guest for your podcast too.

Muta and scary background music, what a combo!

Mutah you can make whatever kind of videos you want and we'll enjoy them

Most evil plot? You mean average saturday

“Filthy Sonic Inflation” 10/10 example of search history

Our boi Muta back at it again, now with some crazy goofy ahh ayy lmao bg music✨👽

Plz do more videos like these muta! I wouldnt have known all of this otherwise.

Actual video starts at 1:29.

No manscaping ad? Now I'm scared

please do more like this! i loved it.

great video muta. you make my days better

15:10 That kinda warning has gone far enough already. Rotten Mango has told the story, these women were trained well over a month in doing this for a KZfaq prank show, that paid well, too, and so they couldn't tell there were red flags, such as filming at an airport, or no longer using baby oil, or that they were told to wash their hands right after. The next day, they were told to appear to the same airport, but instead of meeting the film crew to get their money, they get arrested and thrown in jail. Also, there's a KZfaq prankster that went even further, his legends tell a story of "bombing prank", where he throws a backpack into a crowd of people, screams incoherent words, and runs away. (his name is ApoRed)

Their biggest prank is lying to their people and telling them that they won the war

I’m glad you do talk about things like this

Great content Muta, I forgot all about this.

When this happened what made the malaysian citizens even more surprised is not about the assassination but the fact that malaysia had a diplomatic relation with north korea to the point NK even has their station for them to run their activities in the country Edit: If they can run an assassination on broad daylight outside of their country, only god knows what else they have been cooking in the underworld side of things

You know it’s serious when the gta 5 heist music starts playing

I know the video is going to be good when that banger starts in the intro!!!!

Damn i love these types of videos from Muta

Muta never fails to keep us in the loop 🙏

I've read and heard several reports of this case. It's quite interesting how all of that happened.

Loved the video. Hope to see more like it!

I like this music addition, do more of these!

I remember hearing about it in 2017. I was honestly scared of a war ocurring when I heard WMDs were involved, and I honestly think it would happen if enough people were killed. I think a lot of the reason it was mostly forgotten to time is because it was a political play on North Korea itself. Imagine if they did this to a president or another major figure on the biggest NATO countries, it could've ended horribly

You know it's a certified mutabanger when the disclaimer shows up.

I like this kind of videos, telling a story, good one Mutah

Thank you Muta! This was a great video to watch and thanks for letting us know. I did not know any of this before this video. My goodness. Things gotta happen before it's too late.

Damn, that's pretty fucking sinister. I've been following the topic of North Korea quite a lot, but missed a lot of these details, 4example the entire Malaysian side of it. We got a guy here in Poland that frequently traveled to North Korea & even organized tourist trips there. I've just sent him this vid, he may have something interesting to add to it.

Good vid Muta Btw lately I found out that North Korea has bananas, they bragged about it on TikTok

Great video. The background music set the mood.

I love your videos, man. Keep up the good work

you know its gonna be a good video when it starts with the music and copyright disclaimer

CORRECTION: at 8:17 Muta meant to say Kim Jong Nam not Kim Jong Un

love these videos. keep up the good work Muta 👍
