The people from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea certainly live in their own world, one shaped by decades of isolation, strict control, and propaganda.
Daily life in North Korea is vastly different from what most people experience elsewhere. From limited internet access to government-curated news, citizens are cut off from outside influences. Tourists are only allowed to see what the government wants to show, often accompanied by guides who ensure rules are followed. Among the interesting facts about North Korea is that it has a space program with only a 20% success rate. Another surprising fact is that literacy in North Korea is defined by the ability to write “Kim Il-Sung”. The personality cult surrounding the Kim dynasty is another defining aspect of life there. Everything, from architecture to education, reinforces loyalty to the regime and its leaders.
