I'll admit, that water park looks fucking amazing. Too bad north korea is full of internment camps and their people are starving....so.....kinda ruins it.
Korea has achieved 99% self sufficiency in staple foods.
It is generally believed that they lack protein in their diets but many experts believe the DPRK to be exaggerating it's issues with food and medical supplies as to be able to "milk" more aid out of the West.
As for the camps we only have satellite imagery and South Korean Agents pretending to be ex camp guards from the North.
Shin Dong Hyuk has even admitted to have lied about his time in those camps and his record in the DPRK has showed him to be a sub par citizen.
A Russian-born Korean specialist Andrei Lankov (Lankov has some of the best videos and books on Korea by the way) commented that "some suspicions had been confirmed when Shin suddenly admitted what many had hitherto suspected", described Harden's book as unreliable, and noted that defectors faced considerable psychological pressure to embroider their stories.
The incarceration rates in the DPRK remain lower then in the U.S. It's also important to note that the U.S also has water parks. No one seems to mind the fact that the country also has plenty of jails.
You said we could ask questions.
How about religion in the DPRK? Because there are lots of contradictory claims on the internet about that topic.
Religion is heavily discouraged and the church and mosque in Pyongyang seems to be symbolic.
It is probably illegal much like during Enver Hoxha's Albania.
Religion is contradictory to the basic beliefs of Juche.
