Why does it feel like there's a gun to their head?North Korea's government is desperately trying to appear more relatable to the outside world with its own host of YouTubers., sharing stories about what it's purportedly like living in the country.
One video shows a YouTuber telling her audience about how her favorite book is "Harry Potter" — which is surprising, considering the country's strict restrictions on Western media."This is milk flavor — the picture is so cute," she says, before biting into an ice cream cone.
"For example, the power supply in North Korea is not smooth enough to operate an amusement park, so I’ve heard that they would only operate it on the weekends or on a special day like when they film a video," Park toldBlackouts and electricity shortages are commonplace. In fact, according to the report, only about a quarter of the population even have access to electricity.
But whether the videos will really be able to fool savvy international viewers, of course, is anything but clear.
