r/MovingToNorthKorea

Hello everyone,

I was wondering where I might be able to read some North Korean poetry ? I wasn’t able to find much myself but I admit I only did a surface level search so that’s why I wasn’t able to find much of anything. So I decided to come here and thought you guys would have some recommendations for any poetry. I would really appreciate it. Thanks !

I don't mean open its markets, but be "fully" open for tourism both to and from its country.

Do you think it is strictly a question of economic development? Having an economy robust enough to withstand imperialist attacks?

Or is North Korea basically staying closed until there is no more global imperialist threat (which could take over a century or more?).

I don't think it wants to stay closed forever and that it is a question of constraint. Economic, political, but I also understand the overall risk of capitalist propaganda being imported in mass from overseas like what happened to the USSR putting pressure on the government.

I would love to learn Korean and begin reading from North Koreans on their history, outlook on revolution, and so on (I mean modern texts also), but right now if I learn Korean it will only be useful to consume South Korean content which interests me less.

Just wondering what you were all thinking about it!

I learned some more things about DPRK recently and how it’s far from the crazy nonsensical dictatorship people make it out to be. But it does seem kinda obvious that the people aren’t very free in many ways (whatever that means). Just looking at videos of tourists visiting DPRK, why are they not allowed to talk to the people? Why do the guides start acting extremely awkwardly everytime the camera is filming?

I know that DPRK follows the Juche ideology, is all of that needed for this ideology? Is there another reason for it? Or ami totally wrong and people are actually totoally free?

Also I hope this doesn’t fall under anti-DPRK rhetoric, it’s just that im not sure what to believe about the country and if I start arguing in the comments it’s not to show that I’m right or anything, just that I’m trying to understand

Air forces on every countries sometimes still operating old aircrafts is quite normal.

But, This one still makes me curious for more than a decade.

Are Korean People's Air Force still operating Ilyushin Il-28 or its chinese licensed variants (Harbin H-5) ?

Because, i never find any footage of them flying or at least indicating still in active service by KPAF.

Trying to browse it through google also didn't answer my curiosity.

Is it true that the DPRK is no longer pursuing unification? I heard they wiped all mentions of it off their constitution.
