Tourism Advertisement for North Korea

[BigWinky]

Badass waterslide is badass

[alexmcsabotage]

Pangapsumnida means "Nice to meet you".  This video makes me laugh and cry at the same time

[fivemood]

North korea people playing electric guitar?

[clutchcargo]

I WANT TO GO TO THERE!

[danning1]

You know, if you pause it at 0:17 (try to time it as it goes by very fast), you'll see that a lot of the buildings are indeed dilapidated as madoffler noted in his comment. Which to me shows that things are so bad in North Korea that even when they try to promote tourism it's hard for them to hide just how awful their country is. It sure goes by fast, though!  I'm surprised they don't show that small section of Pyongyang where all those monuments to the Kims are.

[danning1]

Knowing North Korea, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the footage of the swimming pool and the water slide was taken from a South Korean theme park somewhere. Not like the NK propaganda machine would be above lying, right?

[Mrdie]

@danning1 Actually it's a real slide in the country, it just hasn't seen use since the 1980's.

[Rubyluvx3]

lol

[YoshiTheGreenOne]

i saw a comercial simular to this one in my own country.... besides check out the website and read all you'll find some funny propaganda for instance within a few years the DPRK will become the most important trading port in asia and the topping: Stable. A government with solid security and very stable political system, without corruption. <-- would you believe that, and if that isn't enough they claim to have direct trade abiltys with EU members

[superuser6]

As an extra, you will even have your very own military personnel crew to hold your hand every step of the way, even while taking a shit, to enhance the joyful experience, for free!

[KhazariaProject]

This looks like the kind of place where you had better like the local women.......ALOT, LOTS, AND LOTS!!!!! Because this is a place where they literally have nothing else, AT ALL!!!! I wonder if Mary-J is legal in this place, cuz boy you'll need that too!

[asiamies1]

whats the name of the song? love it!

[N0hN4me]

Yeah and you know that OTHER thing they say: whoever goes to North Korea STAYS in North Korea.

[GerbenMa]

good

[callandor87]

Everyone knows you lie down on them colourful water slides so that you can go faster. Noobs.

[MrLandrover21]

Who the fuck would wanna go to north Korea???

[kentan2202]

wow what an exciting place to visit!

[pipojol]

Wow! They've got buses!

[simonna]

next holyday in north-korea..have fly from bangkok

[markjartansson]

mar kjartansson!!!!  Nice Song- My opinion Nord Korea is placed for injustice with these sanctions Big protest

[ThePuddingSpoon]

Man, those folks over at the North Korea Tourism Agency sure are versed in the ways of Windows Movie Maker.

[darknut79]

Come to the glorious people's republic of North Korea. I am your tourist guide! Contrary to the popular decadent Western belief, North Korea has much touristy things to do, and many unique landmarks!

Such as: A hotel! A coal mine! And it even has its own Godzilla movie!

Sounds exciting, right?

Just go to the website featured on this Western video to become a part of the People's Republic, today!

(Or I will be shot.)

[dragoncraft5]

whats the song called?

[kickmiass]

Looks like im visiting North Korea this Christmas!

[glishev]

The waterslide was working for the last time maybe in 1982... and the children on it are now in the government just like their parents before them.

[xxxdieselyyy]

Yo, this is not a NK tourism govt agency ad, this is a KFA ad. KFA is a privately owned group based all 'round Europe run by a Spanish guy (Alexandro Cao De Benos I think his name is) who has position of "special delegate" in the DPRK govt.

[fullmetalmc]

the ones who didnt smile enough were gassed afterwards

[xxxdieselyyy]

@fullmetalmc

Gassed? Did Hitler just emigrate to North Korea? :D

[BIGBASS1992]

The girl on the right side of the waterslide probably got shot, because she didn't keep her arms up all the way down.

[LolDaMaddin]

as much as i know how fucked up this place is ... that waterslide DID look fucking awesome!

[AsellusPrimus]

North Korea has nice music.

[badfoody]

God have mercy on these people

[rexthebarker]

i always wanted to see what early 60's Russia looked like...

[wernernon78]

LOOKS NICE.XX

[RadioOperator01]

what does this mean :P That if you go to korea you will see people randomly dance around? xD

[Rblxstudio]

Remember kids, once you go there, you cant get back out!

[jordler]

i like the song

[Boomer1894]

The slide makes me want to go to North Korea. Slides are fun and democratic

[sincityfire]

Looks fun! I might want to go there if I had a chance! or... is this propaganda?

[77cmg77]

im so going there next summer...

[22871987]

Ummm in North Korea first of all NOT everyone is welcomed, you need to be approved. Secondly, tourist NEED tour guides, they dont roam N.Korea by themselves. Thirdly, villagers in the interior are out of bound, you cannot visit a traditional Korean village. Fourthly,if you do anything stupid and out of the ordinary you are accountable for yo actions and imprisoned.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

im going to go, actually.

im not going to say a thing.

No comment on how fucking scary this will be.

comments after.]wards.... i hope.

[loyangz]

wow is that advertisement from the 1990?

[xjoshyuux]

@ratwithchainsaw LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! 

[tonylee1020]

what a pathetic country north korea is...!!! pity their people i think that is just the government and leaders are foolish not the people,they have been brainwashed by them!!!

[marcus8374]

@tonylee1020 i would not call it pathetic, i would call it scary.

[blockbuddy2]

L O L

[illsubanyone]

glad to see this vidoed in 720p it really enhances teh expeirence and i feel like im really in best corea

[deziboy5606]

I'm convinced. who wants to go with me?

[SeeingSounds]

yea,after this I really want to go there... o_O

[PyrimidKingJindai]

is this some kind of stunt

[NYanarchy08]

Wait, is this actually real?

[cepab123]

North Korean Top 40 musixc :):)

[MilissaMishap]

looks like windows movie maker

[Kartalinho1903]

cool song :-)

[henerymag]

Do they have a Super8 I'm a little short on cash.

[Quionic7]

Yeah..no thanks

[SarahLee1]

I could've made a better one with windows movie maker!!

[SFseis]

well why don't u call the NK ambassy and offer em a better tourist video? ;-)

[reymatt76]

@SFseis

No shit! Tourists are not entertained by political unrest and protests as depicted in the video. Tall buildings and water slides can pretty much be found just about anywhere. And we're expected to believe that people get up every night and start spontaneously dancing to fireworks?

Looks more like something that Jim Jones may have produced to entice visitors to Guyana. Where's the group sex and Kool-Aid mixers?

[danning1]

@reymatt76 I think at some point Jim Jones banned sex (except in his own case, of course) between people living in Jonestown. I'm like you, by the way, that I sometimes think of North Korea as one giant insane religious cult rather than one big prison like some people think. But either way a truly horrible place to be.

[KhazariaProject]

@SFseis

I have a laptop computer thats going to die any day now. I have no editing skills whatsoever besides Imovie for Imacs. My slide show videos are on par with this and this was made by highly paid gov. officials. I wonder if they would hire me for editing..... :p

[reymatt76]

Hey my birthday is Juche 94, 2005 as well, what a coincidence.

[ready2roll]

lol

[rotherman59]

Are you self suffient??

[FragMan69]

@reymatt76 I'm afraid Juche 94 is only 2005 in the North Korean calendar (94 years since Kim Il Sung was born).

[koffiekpatcha]

long live the great leaders kim jong il and nancy pelosi

[cumulus0007]

I hope your dick gets bitten off

[markab26]

They use the same some over and over again

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

North Korea: Come and Stay

[freeerteee]

Do they have like one song or just one melody? Why isn't this country invaded and annexed by either Russia, China or the States? It would be better off in any case. Doesn't Russia want hot water harbor for their Primorsky Kray?

[Irrenmann]

O_O

[Wildcatbeer]

Let's all pretend!

[Crashex750]

You know what they say: "What happens in North Korea STAYS in North Korea"

[RoyalDog214]

@Crashex750 more like " Who happens to be in North Korea STAYS in North Korea "

[realysmallshoe]

@RoyalDog214 LOOOL

[TheMoltenLlama]

Glorious waterslide represent slide of glorious Juche Idea into dictatorship!

[velourea]

cool I want to visit. always wanted to go off a waterslide.

[Barmicash]

My god, this is inspiring much LOL from me...

[CarlCampbell]

Hooray for MS Paint red!

[madoffler]

Come to fabulous North Korea where you can experience Buses(0:12), Paved Roads(0:15), and Dilapidated Buildings(0:16).

[bogdog89]

@madoffler hilarious

[khisanth75]

"Look happy for the cameras or you will be shot at once"

[jsmit989]

I'd go just for the women

[DecapitatedDuck]

the game

[Scrogglez]

everyone in this video was executed after

[deadlypie]

YES! FUCK YES!

[karmacop911]

why do they show a picture of the senate or whatever @23, to assure us that they indeed have a government?

[holt2k]

Hahaha...a STAR WIPE! This has got to be either:

A.) Fake

or

B.) Made in 1994

[mightypotato]

The Star Wipe is the Dear Leader's favourite video effect. It stands in proud defiance of the imperialist fade out, spreading Juche to the world of video editing.

[oancitizen]

Since when did communist countries with video technology that was outdated by the mid 90's start editing their propaganda with Windows Movie Maker?

[Josephdorf03]

0:40

Shit, I gotta go to Norhth Korea! Gotta get me some dat spontaneous-synchronized-vacan­t-lot-dancing-while-fire-works­-erupt-in-the-sky action!

[sgnebmak]

Two words.

DONG MOGO

[AgentMulder3667]

I must say, even though the DPRK leadership is a bunch of heartless bastards, they can make a catchy tune.

[sgnebmak]

Singer was kidnapped from South (Good) Korea. At the end she sang "Welcome".

Creepy.

[Alenn95]

2005 just means it's had four more years to be eternally glorious.

[EricSRFine]

I don't know about you guys but I am booking my next vacation to the good old N K! Man it just looks like it's stuck in 1986 and did you SEE that water slide!!! SHIT YEAH!

[criskity]

I can think of a hundred things North Korea can do to attract tourists, starting with the most obvious: lifting travel restrictions!

[molotov8904]

i went to North Korea as a tourist a few years ago. Dont ask why. It was the single most surreal and to be frank.. awful experience of my life.

[purevil5]

Come taste the glory of north korea! You will not want want to leave! Seriously you will NOT leave...ever.

[koffiekpatcha]

rong riv de grate reeder kim el jing an de peepers ho riv in de nort korerer.

[edmanrapperu]

LOL It's so bad IT'S GOOD!

XD

[wilisnil]

anyone know what this song is called

[shzywansui]

반갑습니다

[Breadcleaner]

Hey guys, North Korea looks like a pretty cool place! It's got business-class airplanes and some buses and water slides and all sorts of awesome shit!

But seriously, I nearly lost my shit when the credits said (2005). That was hilarious.

[rigstula]

Amazing! I am totally convinced; my next holiday will be spent in North Korea!

Kim is a really cool guy as well. I bet he is one of those awesome people who spend their time trying to hit on night elf 'girls' in World of Warcraft. I want to meet him and get an autographed portrait which I can hang on my wall. Then I can one day show it to my grandchildren.

By the way, an Orwellian communist dictatorship is the ideal form of government, and anyone who disagrees is a meanie!

[cuppajoesugar]

This has GOT to be fake. No one can make an OFFICIAL video this bad. This also answers the question; does living in a totalitarian communist regime supress creativity ?

[pogimax]

so...what's the title of the song?

[ragingfred]

the odd thing is that it looks like it was made in movie maker, made by microsoft, arguably one of the biggest capitalist monopolies in existance.

irony!

[cuppajoesugar]

You just blew my mind, man ! Also, LOVE that star swipe in the beginning.

[BubblegumCake]

GFD WHY IS THE SONG SO CATCHY

[bethbearmacethatguy]

If crazy military control and psycho communist dictators are your thing, then this is the place for you!

[ajaxjs]

I think we can all agree on one thing...

That's a pretty fucking catchy tune.

[dredre1101]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Cheetoz2112]

Looks like this was made in Windows Movie Maker :P

[heliarche]

No, that's made on "Glorious Democratic Peoples movie maker"

[feanor22]

Sounds great, if you`re a fucking sadomasochist.

[sevendarkdays]

I would go there, if i only i didn't have this fear of abductions.

[Hepathos]

well they don't acutally abduct you there, but if you do something against their rules (and trust me, almost anything you do there is against) you get banned from the country, and AFTER that they maybe send someone after you.

[Fiki2k7]

Actually you dont have to worry about abductions. The north korean government conveniently gives you a "tour guide" to stay with you at all times. No locals are allowed to talk to you let alone abduct you otherwise they are severely punished. All communication is done with your handy tour guide". You will not be recorded as you sleep!

[ILikeLincolnLogs]

This is the song they use before they kill you, if they don't miss your head with the bullet.

[spacemonky7]

Wow, North Korea looks FUN!(?)

[BongoDodger]

Poor girl in slide No. 2. She can't even go to the water park without the life preserver.

[steven1guerin]

sounds like a fantastic vacation.....

[trybalnet06]

Add in Kim Jong Il, a communist army, a few nuclear missiles, and American hostages and you get a REAL tourism video about North Korea! =]

[pistol71]

Shades of "Borat"

[Felviper]

Damn!!! It's like travelling back in time!!!!!!!

[Zoroasterrrr]

Do not forget to enjoy the 7am songs that wake you up to clean and exercise every morning.

[horselee]

I like this song, don't understand it, but what is it called does anybody know??????

[Deutschland596]

The song is called Bangapsumnida or Ban Gap Sum Ni Da - Means : Nice to meet you

[horselee]

Thank you!!

[Deutschland596]

No Problem, I'm obsessed with music from North Korea it's much better than the crap here.

[ehunter2]

Hey..do you get a couple of those Korean Sex Kittens to go around with?

[phonix032]

Come to north korea!!!, the food if any is quite edible, the best and only radio program is all bout our kimmy, the possibility of getting shot is quite exciting!!, must buy kimmy pics or go to gulag, which by the way is quite comfortable!!, our killling fields are very cool!!!, and if ur lucky u can have a hell of a vacation at our "paradise "concentration camps :)

p.s. please note that i have pistol pointed to back of my head :(

p.s.#2 must bow to kim statue or well u get the picture.

[bulaionionion]

you forgot about the healty run across mine fields

[phonix032]

of course comrade of course

[bulaionionion]

>:)

[plasma890]

I refuse to visit the DPRK. All of my money will just be sent to the gulags in North Korea, where hundreds of thousands die.

[mr570]

Has anyone ever visited N. Korea? I think it would be a very unique experience.

[qwertymeehan9]

Unique certainly as it would very likely be the last any of us would see of you... Fairwell old budy!

[whateverlolawants]

Check out a website called Axis of Evil World Tour. Fascinating account of an American's trip in 2002.

[100kprofit]

i would rather travel to heaven.

[Jianghua2]

So who take NK country seriously, I seriously think they are just a bunch of clowns.

[se7enb2]

poor inncoents getting killed if they dont listen...ahhhhh this is really sad,,tats like soooo fake

[Jianghua2]

it is fake, what do you think communism is, it's fake shit!

[NanzMediaNetwork]

who wants to visit north korea?

south korea is sooooo much better,,

plus,we can meet good looking actor and actress there..

[se7enb2]

seriosly i know right!! who the fuk in thier right mind would want to go to north korea,,, and the freaking language its werid.... thats not kroean language........ its not.... see the south korea tourism please.... not this...

[jshabadoo]

I'd rather visit a Siberia. Fuck you North Korea.

[decimator333]

Eastern Europe was never behind the iron curtain.

[ddaanntt]

Gerald? Gerald Ford? Is that you?

[decimator333]

God you're a smartass.

[thrillzonevideos]

i can easily make something like that (wwm is state of the art there)

[VeraM18]

This country is covering up the REAL dread they do! Dead to North Kora and Kim Jon Il!!!!!!

[se7enb2]

ugh i know!! gosh north korea shouldnt be called kroea they are disgracing our kroean name.... ahhhhhh

[NanzMediaNetwork]

true2.. north korean people looks rough..and untidy..and they are so old fashioned in everything..vice versa to south korea..omg,watching this video makes me hate n.korea so much.

[decimator333]

I though they didnt have any tourists.

[dillonhe]

Umm... I rather much prefer to visit Seoul...

[dillonhe]

I never knew Tourism exists in North Korea...

[GrimEreaper]

i think ill stay in america =) atleast here i can stare at soem double D's instead of some communist shiz

[jhops89]

Is this really a Government Approved Toursim Video? I'd have to say...no....

[Zasz72]

Oh my. You know what: all of a sudden, after watching this video, I have the sudden urge to go to North Korea... isn't that strange?

*Eyes glaze over*

"Praise the Dear Leader..."

[sovietrafa2]

Well dispite of all the propaganda occidental media has gotten into our minds about N.korea i think that vision is totally manipulated. I believe there is no intencion to let the world know how N.Korea really is.

I have a friend who went there and what he saw has nothing to do with what our media say. For gods sake i´ve seen pictures he took and i assure children don´t look hungry, infrastructure is far better than what we think and everyone looked healthy and happy!

I want to know it myself

[FootballCONCACAF]

lol you are an idiot

[Hartsteves]

How much is the DPK paying you to write that? Your Mighty Leader should allow should put the commune back into communism.

[sovietrafa2]

Its my oppinion, if you cannot handle with a different oppinion to yours then its your problem not mine

[Hartsteves]

This is not a matter of opinion. If you like the color red more than blue then you are allowed to enjoy your opinion. But when it comes to basic human liberties and rights, you cannot objectively argue that DPRK is a nation prospering in those departments.

[19chris87a]

North Korea hasnt tourism because only dimplomats are allowed to enter the land. Its the most isolated state in history, and the people of north korea have a totally different imagination of the world.

[laxrobert]

your an idiot because anyone is allowed there as long as they obtain the correct visa...

also it only deals in Euros for its tourism.

[NJN0000]

fake but whatever

[crd721]

North Korea's waterslide was probably made from the bones of dissident's like a german lampshade.

[porbello9]

That water slide was into acid, am i right

[BlackProteus]

In the workers' paradise, proletarians will all travel to their jobs in the factories via a massive system of brightly-coloured waterslides, I see. Just as Marx predicted in the little-known fifth volume of Das Kapital.

[deadlyyams]

...where they randomly set off fireworks XD
