THE DMZ - Korea's Demilitarized Zone

[dmzpatrolleader]

Yes you visited the dog and pony show of the dmz called Panmunjom don't take this as the real dmz. If you want to see the real army that patroled the dmz check out the website dmzvets.webs.com lots of picture there to check out so tired of everybody thinking that panmunjom is the dmz it's the truce village where north and south meet thats all the jsa used to patrol the mocha A back in the 80's don't know if the do anymore there just a trip wire.

[MrMtftw]

The music in the beginning made me stop the video

[jwm239]

...curious about the "414" posted on the DPRK visitors' center (at about 1:21),

[xbboyXborax]

the s.korean soliders do "very nice" propaganda ! - peace museum is a building where people are killed .. of course -.-

[saik0pod]

Thanks this is perfect! I plan to Space-A travel from Guam to Seoul and visit the DMZ during their USO tour myself. 

[T3chNoBoii]

taking picture of the guards? how disrespect. they're doin their jobs

[denelson83]

1:54 - I don't think so. The land on which that building sits is extraterritorial to both North and South Korea. When you are in that building, you are in *neither* Korea.

[rub504]

how is the food in s.korea?

[CaliforniaJazzy]

I'd be shitting my pants!

[CaliforniaJazzy]

Holy crap you can take a tour????

[reactri]

i've been there and a landmine went off. No joke, i was standing in a line looking at the north koreans when there was a loud boom.

[passwordforgetter]

Wanna travel to the DPRK ? Easy as one two three. Drop me a line and I'll tell you how. The greatest trip of anyone's life, that's for sure.

[lucken13]

You would have to serve there and done the combat patrols from CP Liberty Bell that we use to do up till August 1991! My last trip was 1998 for the Repatriation Ceremonies; The repatriation of Korean War remains!

[hkchoi456]

Wow... If a guard accidentaly crosses the line.... IT'S A SECOND KOREAN WAR!!!

[Michael326]

@hkchoi456 There can't be a second korean war if the first one never ended.

[passwordforgetter]

This propaganda video reminds us all who the real agressors are and who is steadfast in maintaining the stand-off. A visit on the NK side is much, much more interesting, and much, much more civilized. Talk about arrogance - oh dear oh dear ...

[turkeybaconable]

@passwordforgetter unless you live in north korea theres no way you culdve had a tour with them as their country is completed off-limits to all foreign civilians

[passwordforgetter]

@turkeybaconable Nonsense. The DPRK welcomes visitors from every single country except for one ... The Republic of Korea, which is where the Americans run the show ... Yet another occupation of foreign land, and nobody who seems to care ... sad sad world. Everybody, grab the chance to visit the DPRK and hear the true version of history, unadulterated, uncensored and with plenty of evidence to back up the claims ...

[oipolloi1]

Fascinating video, thank you for uploading!

[HillcrestCapital]

GODDAM, WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMB TOURISTS. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BUT TELL YOUR TRAVELING PARTNERS TO CONDUCT THEM SELVES MORE RESPECTFULLY.

[TheUPLOADER111]

Anyone else notice that the tour guides US flag was backwards

[pamelahl1]

@TheUPLOADER111 Respectfully, the flag patch is not backwards. The United States Flag patch is worn on Military Uniforms, the Stars Field faces forward. The same rule applies as well if one should put a United States Flag on any vehicle, plane, etc. The proper name for the flag patch worn on the right shoulder of military personel is, "reverse side flag". GO NAVY Have a great day! ~pamela

[juanesforero]

Minuto 6:46 se ve la bandera de Colombia.

[shakysyxx]

1:38 ....i thought that was a huge turd.....LOL

[MegaSitthichai]

On ROK zone,a small tower is not there now and it is replaced by a huge building.

[SamiasCaesar]

North Korea has a visitor's center. I see no visitor's. That's very disturbing.

[felino3210]

I wanna visit the DMZ! Traveling to Korea is one of the things I gotta do in my life.

[Kosmoski99]

Please tell me why the guard type bloke has to wear shades indoors? boring talk though, I bet nothing exciting has happened there since he had a flat tire in 1998

[cupcakekevin277]

If it wasn't for american help south Korea would probably not even exsist the Americans came in and helped the south push north korea back to where it is now north Korea had south pushed down to about the size of maryland

[Taiwaneers]

@cupcakekevin277 But to be fair, didn't the north accomplish that with the help of China?

[030terror]

@Taiwaneers Uhm... i thought it was Rusia... that would explain North Korea being a Communist nation.

[turkeybaconable]

@030terror uhm... yu realize china is communist, dont you.. the russians would never help north korea unless it was a threat to russia as well

[gkyy3c]

@Taiwaneers you're right. China helps them until now.

[LordofDarkness42]

@Taiwaneers Of course north korea won't admit they had help. To them they defeated "the american imperialists" singlehandedly.

[semperfisemperceler]

That was a Soldier, not Marine

[ushockey08]

@semperfisemperceler I was waiting for someone to point that out.

[Ikilluagainandagain]

The last person to cross this bridge was james bond. LOL

[chippewaman1975]

I once knew a guy who went to North Korea in the late 90s as part of a touring American basketball team. They were to play the North Korean National team on national TV and they were told they had to lose the game. The North Korean team had a guy who stood 7-foot-8. They were told they could not take any pictures while in the country. The guy stayed in the capital city and he said it was manditory lights out after darkness. He said there were a lot of statues of Kim Jong Il.

[satinderjit4]

the guard looks hella raw lol you don't wanna mess with them

[prankcallingisfun]

this was very informing! THANK YOU!

[krazycore]

I think those soldiers were dying laughin inside..XD

[fireking9934]

i would not want to fuc*k with those guards..

taiwaneers, is it true to be a south korean DMZ guard, its mandatory, you must have a black belt in taekwondo..

is that true

[krazycore]

@fireking9934 nah i don't think you have to have black belt.. in taekwondo.. they take volunteers or normal soldiers from the bootcamp like any other battalion

[Gaarakan123]

Fucking these people talking down on North Korea and laughing away like some kind of joke. I assume they are Americans, and pretty ironic where America invaded so many countries and fought the most wars and killed the most people . . .

[Gaarakan123]

Fucking Americans treating this serious matter as a fucking tourist spot. . . . are you shitting me?

[promdawg]

American propaganda. Long Live The DPRK!

[invaderzimrules132]

@promdawg You poor brainwashed North Korean propaganda worker.

[TheRussianMILF]

@invaderzimrules132

you cant look down on north koreans, they can get millions in food aid from you, and you cant do JACK SHIT

[invaderzimrules132]

@TheRussianMILF I'm not looking down on the North Koreans, just their government.

[hahawtfful]

@MrJhuneo1 lol u should learn kid the north korean soliders doesnt get paid they even cannt eat as much

[TheOvechkinFans]

What if you cross the border, can the North Koreans have authorization to shoot you?

[zero2blur]

The creators of "Jackass" should go up there and sprint across the DMZ as a "joke." I don't think anyone would be laughing...

[noob1138]

Did you have to worship Kim Jong Il while you were there?

[MrJhuneo1]

you guys do know you can visit north korea right??i visit my family in north korea by using koreo tours..the north korean gaurds are much much nicer than the south korean gaurds..

[greatsmither]

@MrJhuneo1 get out of here north korea soo fucked up to americans or other people that if you take a picture wrong of the statue of the president they will kick you out of their country -.-

[allknowfather]

Very sad. 60 Years plus. Same family lines. Same last names. Same language. Same religion. Why not just hug and make up. Father and maker in heaven seen enough sad things. This is why we need his Kingdom to fix these problems and not man. Matthew 6:9,10 Ps. 37:10,11 Matthew 5:5 Revelation 21:3,4

[gymnastmike]

@allknowfather Same religion? What? South Korea is predominantly Christian while North Koreans pray to their leader, Kim Jong Il.

[allknowfather]

@gymnastmike All believe in worship there forefathers religion.

[gymnastmike]

@allknowfather their*, and you said they have the same religion, but that's a false statement.  Care to clarify?

[allknowfather]

@allknowfather Both of the same family lines. Both eat the same foods. Both worship their forefathers as most of the earth does. The only thing 55% of there national government of both spend on a wall that is made to keep people seperated. They need to know their maker from the scriptures. If one would use the principles that Jesus communicated and shared instead of pointing a gun. It would be a lot easier to communicate. They have to know the truth from God. Ps. 83:18

[WBHSAthletes]

that american officer is a G

[larrymouarios]

hey man, that military guy seems like having fun putting all those people in that conference room. you all dont know something, but if one of these people cross the border just by one millimeter their like expectancy will be 66 seconds. lol

[MrJivePirate]

@larrymouarios n. korea once threatened war if we go "0.001mm" into their waters lol

[MutantSundew]

very good video thank you alot for uploading

[Topaz1115]

that's awesome, thanks for uploading the vid, very interesting.

[Huskek]

6:15 what did he say and what is it?

[Taiwaneers]

@Huskek former Czech and Polish neutral nations camp.

[TATERxSALAD44]

@Taiwaneers if i wanted to could i show my ass to the north koreans and tell them to kiss it?

[purplettuce620]

@Huskek i think he might have sed czech and polish

[Italblessings]

Great video. That US soldier is a cool dude.

[ted51bear]

growll , prettyz niftyz therez ted51bear..

[mccl5150]

I love it. I am going to the Philippines next month through Seoul. I will stay a day and visit here. Amazing.

[antrocanal]

How should I travel there from Seoul??? do I need some clearence???

[Taiwaneers]

@antrocanal The USO Korea does tours by bus, that's how we got there. Visit their website and click on Travel.

[antrocanal]

@Taiwaneers thx!!!!! :)

[KosukiFire]

What if a kid touches the SKG? Will the kid be thrown through the window?

[BlackenedDays]

@KosukiFire yes and then eaten alive

[kcuferap]

2:23 wow theres a flag of the philippines! :D

[snowcamper]

@kcuferap i didn't know that the Philippines fought in the Korean war

[d0dgeball]

@snowcamper Over 7,000 Filipinos fought in the Korea War - the 4th largest foreign contingent. During the Great Spring Offensive of 1951, the Filipinos were able to hold the line against advancing NK and Chinese forces while everybody else to their left and right were falling back. We killed lots of communists in Korea. Too bad South Koreans nowadays have little respect for Filipinos.

[snowcamper]

@d0dgeball sad, you guys deserve it for helping them out

[lepper24dudes]

@kcuferap tamaa!

ahahha!

[TheJoeyD27]

I really don't think you realize how dangerous it is to be in those places you went for your vacation.

[snowcamper]

@TheJoeyD27 i know i would be scared but i would be kinda of a cool place to go

[CaptainDiscount]

They decided to make a highly sensitive border between two countries, still in a state of war, into a tourist attraction? Only the Americans...

[123456789mischief]

@CaptainDiscount actually if you go on a tour of north korea they take you there as well. but the humour of your comment stands. :)

[Sovieto]

thx for uploading, cool stuff

[qingxian1981]

so photography and videography is allowed almost everywhere?

[Taiwaneers]

@qingxian1981 for the most part the answer to your question is yes. If you are in the UN controlled JSA photos and video are allowed. Behind the line in the Republic of Korea controlled area they tell you not to photograph or video anything.

[bye5225]

@Taiwaneers what happens if someone falls in north korea when they are in south korea?

[Taiwaneers]

I'm pretty sure they do, or at least they used to.

One of the stories our tour guide told us was of a soviet tourist, back before the USSR became history, who was on a tour on the North Korean side and made a run for South Korea to defect.

[uhyeahiguess]

just curious, but did he/she make it?

[Taiwaneers]

Our tour guide, a US marine, told us the tourist made it across, the North Korean soldiers ran after him and a small gun fight ensued between soldiers on both sides. I think a few soldiers died but the tourist successfully defected and lives in California to this day....all according to the marine.

[SUNSNARE06]

he's not a Marine, he's actually in the US Army

[BlackenedDays]

@Taiwaneers i think if your tour guide was the guy in the video he was an army i believe idk

[daffyman33]

how come the north koreans dont to tours???

[gent777]

actually, they do.  it's just that the tour between north and south are separated and at different times.

[tealmarlin]

@daffyman33 They do, in one video it shows people on the other side with cameras taking pics and so forth.

[dieheldencl87]

very interesting.... loved it
