North Korea Kesong

[eastbrook12]

I would like to know the meaning of the first two songs. Can anyone translate?

[skunkzord]

what is the song/band that are playing this ?

it's awesome !!!

[patt7000]

@skunkzord The name of the song is Singosan-taryeong

[eastbrook12]

@patt7000. It's a very good song. I often listen to it for various reasons. Do you have a translation and phonetic pronunciation? Please reply.

[patt7000]

@eastbrook12 Sorry im not korean, nor i have the lyrics or something like that.

[MavmanFilms]

The music sounds like some kind of cartoon theme song from the 1970's.

[paczek8077]

mam do panstwa nastepujace pytania: czy panstwa przewodniczka mowiaca po polsku byla obywatelka naszego kraju czy tez koreanka doskonale znajaca nasz jezyk?i jaki jest koszt takiej fascynujacej wyprawy?

[koffiekpatcha]

rong riv de great reader kim

[elkrasavitsa]

wich is the name and the singer of the first song.

[Devast8ion]

This music sucks!

[DENGZAOPING]

I think second song is 아리랑 a ri rang

[kuai2007]

The song is awesome! I've heard it on many other clips, notably the one showing a :57 clip of Ryugyong, but most of them are cut off. This is the first time I've heard the song in its entirety and it is phenomenal! Where can I find it in mp3 version so I can add it to my iTunes? I don't think iTunes store will have it lol

Bottom Line: This is a tourist video showing "government approved" streets and areas of the country. All tourists who visit N. Korea are carefully watched by government minders at all times when site seeing.

Kaesong is beautiful and clean here, but the government would never allow footage of labor/concentration camps, executions of "traitors" who commit crimes against the state, nor people eating their dead relatives or tree bark due to lack of food.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@nightfrog65 -------------but the government would never allow footage of labor/concentration camps--------->The same holds true for all countries I know off, well at least all ASEAN countries. Even in Thailand whenever media goes to film prisons there (where drug offenders are held) the Thai authorities only show u a very small manicured section of the prison.

[BlueAqua214]

whats the anme of the song? is it Kesong??

can some one plZ tell me the name :D

[FooFooTheClown]

People wreck the allure of the countryside no matter where you are. Anyone who says Mount Rushmore is beautiful is a big homo.

[highroller12208]

HAHAHAHA @ foofoo

[FooFooTheClown]

Thanks.

[TINBENDER53]

the only good thing i see about north korea is that there are no negroes.

[drewswift]

sounds like some one is sufering form penis envy

[sonv2003]

wow, a very nice looking country. from the images in the video, I don't mind living there. seriously, the streets are not crowded and clean, and so GREEN, a lot of big buildings and look so peaceful. Compare this to my country, is still alot better.

[dayohoji]

A typical response from a land locked american. Travel the world and know how lucky you are that you have the privilege of living in the states. Freedom is taken granted for to the extreme here. Lose it and then you will know how precious it is. Thank you.

[ssgduke53]

If you have read George Orwell book 1984/Big Brother then you have a small knowledge how North Korea is run by a petty despot dictator.

[FooFooTheClown]

I hate to break it to you, but it's happening here too. Even the reactions to this comment is something I would use to point to as proof.

[UK31337]

Only because industry's dead and there's no pollution.

[ik4itb]

for North-Korean governement admirators : seek other videos on youtube about this country, and specially "children of secret state". you'll see what a wonderful land is, and how people is happy there.

[Ryllik]

Most beautiful country on earth, sick government tough.

Please let north korea remain the wild flower as it is. I dont wanna see 7-11, mcdonald or any of the other bandits, in n. korea.

[highroller12208]

bandits? call me next time 7-11 jumps out of an alleyway and mugs you for your paycheck...

[reyquer2006]

such a beautiful country.

[bourne92]

I agree reyguer2006 but as u seen in min 1:10 u can see no light on streets!

[PeterSvensk]

Oh man, the ppl of north korea doesnt know the meaning of the word "freedom", Someone should really nuke kim jong il seriously.

[tronic5454]

The people would still hate us because they're all brainwashed.

[FooFooTheClown]

Americans are equally easy to brainwash these days.

[swrrws]

You underestimate the complete and utter dominance of a government like that. Look at American Democracy and it's vice grip on its population.  The U.S. is among the most free societies ever to exist. That just shows how total the control must be in the most closed.

[Devast8ion]

Is this "music" from North Korea? It definitely sounds like that bitch is dying of hunger... or at least being tortured.

[partizanek]

Czesc chlopie naprawde fajne video zrobiles w North Korea, jak sie tam dostales bo tez chcial bym tam zwiedzac te miasta. w Polsce sprzedaja takie wyjazdy czy pan najpierw wyjechal do Chin a potem z Chin wziol samolot? Nie wiem tylko sie pytam ja mieszkam w Belgi i jestem Belgiem ale Polskiego umie bo sie nauczylem troche, sorry za muj Polski pismo robie blendy w pismo aly chyba tutaj duzo blendy nie zrobilem. Fajnie ze to Polak zrobil takie wideo

[repugshateMerica]

Wow great footage. I can't believe you got this out of DPKR. Notice that there was not a single car in the whole video, and the only other vehicle was a cart being pulled by an ox or something.

[Ryllik]

this is tourist footage. guided tours trough Pyongyang and the rest of the "elite" resident area...

Not possible now tough. Sigh... i hope to see N.Korea before it crumbles to the ground.

[haskeller1906]

What an asswipe of a country. Free North Korea from the Dear Leader!

[manux0703]

From time to time during this clip people's voices can be heard. They are in Polish.

[LePetitPoisson]

I guess some counties like JP,US,South Korea not allow their citizens entry North korea.

[aitraining]

Do they have vacation packages? Looks like a great place to take the wife and kids.

[bourne92]

fielherzog why dont you go to live in north korea?

[LaLiLuLeLoSnake]

What's the name of the song??? I love it.

[MarcosSoni]

I know what you mean. You're talking about the first song? I've heard some other "pure" North Korean music too, and what I noticed is that its very catchy: the melodies and the singing mesh very well. Charateristic of North Korean music is a high-pitched singer, background singers, and a funny guitar in the back. The beats are very 80's ish. Now imagine using some real up to date techno/hip-hop beats with this and mix it up, the first song would sound dope.

[tomekwiecek]

"Ikiiuou huuunuuuutuooori hhooosokanoora".

[fielherzog]

Show me the hungry in North Korea!!! I evoke anyone who thinks there is starving people in North Korea (journalists, politicians, ONU, international associations, everyone) to upload just a photo or a small video and attest this affirmation. I'm watching a lot of videos filmed by occident groups and I see no hungriness. But I can see hungriness in Bronx (New York), in Paris, São Paulo, Berlin, Roma, Canada, South Africa, Taiwan, Pretoria and in the hole capitalist world.

[chinchinponpon]

Are you serious? Can't we watch many North Koreans who are awfully starving at Youtube??

BTW you seem to have a romantic yearning in communism, so let me say the following, please.

In fact now North Korea is not a communism nation but a kind of despotic monarchy.

The government cast away communism and, instead, has brought its nation the Kim-Il-Sung-ism.

[raulsnake]

search for the video "north korea cnn"...now don't tell me that is not hungriness!!

[dilnster]

You must be joking. No one with a hint of intelligence could post such an uninformed comment, surely.

[soouuz]

You re sick fielherzog!!!

Watch CNN "into secret state" and u'll see that u dont know much of whats going on on earth man..gotta be kidding or ur a serious dummy case..

[Siscast]

i hate people who wants everything handed to them. if you want to find out for yourself, go do a research. I assume all your information came form a 10 minute search on youtube.

[apj3on]

theres plenty of videos of NKoreans starving and even dead, plus NK doesn't want to show that kind of stuff about their country, they want to show that they are well off, but North Koreans are suffering as well

[mybeercansempty]

Yeah but we dont have people lying dead in the streets, from starvation. Or people risking the penalty of death to escape our countries

[TheDarkEyeGuy]

search for daily life North korea in youTube(here) u'll see the poor and the starve. LOL no wonder there's no police they can't even walk to macdonald. if there's any...

[StridingCloud]

hehe that's what the north korean governments wants you to think, the real hungry people aren't shown unless their is someone with a hidden camera.

[561890]

lol, go live in north korea then u north korean hugger. if u live in north korea u couldnt even come on youtube to post your bullshit

[alexmagnus1]

Berlin?? Ehr, I live in Berlin and see at the worst case people who pretend to be hungry.

[chinchinponpon]

They don't have energy for committing crimes because they are starving awfully. Therefore police officers were not found lol

[JAMTAM]

"Lol"?!? How is that funny? Pull your head out of your ass.

[chinchinponpon]

My head is too big to pass my ass hole unfortunately lol

How about your head? rofl

[fielherzog]

They do not need police in north korea. Who needs police are the capitalist countries. A capitalist country needs police to protect the rich people from the poor people, the white people from the black people, the european from the arabians etc.

[poporonb]

black out city lol

[theredpill99]

Wow, that is great footage. Some of the best I've seen of North Korea. Thanks for uploading. Where are the police officers ? Strange.

[chinchinponpon]

In the mutual spying society like there, police officers may be not so necessary.

[chinchinponpon]

[fidafi]

untochables, which country are you from?

[MarcosSoni]

From the way he speaks, he's Russian. I know citizens of certain countries are allowed to visit the North, i.e. China, Russia, and some others.

[MarcosSoni]

*Correction: on his profile, it says he's from Poland.
