In around 2017 I had a scholarship at Wuhan University. During that time the university hosted a cultural fair for international students. What was most interesting to me (as someone from the UK) was that I met for the first time ever students from North Korea.

These students were smartly dressed (suited and booted), which in comparison to everyone else in casual clothes, made them stand out. They spoke excellent English and Chinese, they were polite and thoughtful. Each international group had to give a stage performance, to which the NK students performed a piece similar to Beijing Opera; it was without doubt the most well rehearsed, costumed and, vibrant performance of the lot.

It made me realise I had a very narrow perspective of NK.

That's how propaganda works, they are trained to project that image of NK abroad

That's how propaganda works, we are trained to believe an image of NK.

I wonder what other intelligent things you believe. And it’s not “NK” it is DPRK.

In that case, its not UK, its United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

NK or North Korea is a common name used by many to refer to that country, DPRK is the official name. Anyone is free to use whichever one they want.

Those people are literally North Koreas elite.
