I am North Korean who lives in NK AMA

Mod notice: Note that this post is not verified by anyone (I hereby invite OP to provide proof confidentially via PM on the promise any material provided will stay private).

To anyone reporting this post: Lying on the internet is not against the rules. This thread isn't harming anyone either way.

Exercise your critical thinking muscles and stay classy.

This post technically doesn't go against out rules, aside from not having a question mark, so I will leave it up, but please note that there is no way to verify this person is actually who they say they are, and you should be wary of misinformation online.

Doubt

Any way to verify?

Other than that: how is life in your close community?

This person is a faker using translate. Even allowing for differences between southern and northern dialects, they do not speak Korean like a Korean. Their English grammatical and spelling errors are also not even remotely close to those typically made by Koreans who are only partly familiar with English. They have also referred to their country as "북한": "North Korea". Pretty sure that's a hangable offense up there in the land of Joseon.

Entertainment maybe, but don't expect any truth in here. Kinda like Fox News I suppose.

OP: Next time, don't use commas in your Hangeul. They are a western invention. South Koreans use them very rarely, now. I can't imagine North Koreans use them at all.

Proof?

One of lemmy's biggest gaps has been it's lack of creative writing. It's great to see some of the popular fiction is finally reaching us

How are you able to access Lemmy? I thought internet access is restricted. What’s the general internet ability for most people?

What's your favorite lie you've told to a bunch of strangers on Lemmy?

This is pretty sus. How would you download the Tor client without internet access to begin with? Why are you not responding in any Korean either? It would be a way to prove you're actually in the country as NK has a specific dialect compared to SK.

Are you happy in general?

what do people do for fun when they have days off, on holiday,... ? how free are you to choose a partner and form a family in your culture? (i mean, are marriages arranged in some way, or do the relatioships form naturally?, can your partner be of the same sex, can you have multiple partners,...?)

Are you in any immediate danger by posting this?

How did you learn English? Do you get taught it in school?

Can you take a picture of something that would show you're in NK that has no duplicate on the internet?

Have you ever been to South korea?

I'd really appreciate it if you could provide as much info as you can about how you're accessing Lemmy.

Is it through a device you're allowed to use or one you're using illegally?

Is it a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet?

What operating system does it use? Windows, Linux, Android, iOS?

What method does it connect to the internet through? Dial up, wired broadband, wifi or through a mobile network?

Tell us a joke you heard from your friends or family

What's the most common lie westerners believe about North Korea?

Are you allowed to read Marx, Proudhon and other communist philosophers?

How privileged are you to have access to the Internet and do an AMA?

What do you think of that North Korean girl doing videos on YouTube? (Not sure how she is called, just saw a documentary about her)

What's your favourite dinosaur?

In your experience, is there respect/adoration for the ruling family from the general public?

How are you accessing the internet? My understanding was that there was only an extremely restricted intranet.

Do you use Red Star OS?

What’s your hope for future relations between North and South Korea?

How many hours do people work each day? And do people get enough sleep?

Thanks for the AMA.

What is your favorite food?

Are people who live in the countryside doing ok?

Are the laws very restrictive, do you have to always be careful what you say, or can you trust your neighbors, have people to discuss politics with?

Was there a particular reason you chose the instance you signed up with?

What would most improve the quality of life of North Korean people?

What do ordinary people know of the outside world? How do ordinary people view the outside world?

OP hasn't answered anything. Think they got them?

How do you start your day? Do you eat breakfast?

1. What are the trending foods in the DPRK? As in, are there any new foods that became popular after the division that are unique to Northern Korea?

2. What do you and others do in your free time? What are some common hobbies?

3. What are some unique websites on the Intranet that people outside the DPRK may find interesting?

4. Do the people of the DPRK retain hope that one day Korea will be re-unified?

5. What is the level of study in Marxism-Leninism and the Juche idea within the school system, before specializing? Example, does everyone study Marxism, or is that more for those who specialize?

I'm always curious about media entertainment.

Are there any interesting movies or video games exclusive to North Korea that you enjoy? Do you have any favorites? What are they all about?

Thank you!

Hi Song, I was wondering what sort of art people enjoy in North Korea? Any poetry, folk tales or painting?

Hope you have a nice day

Do you have a desire to travel or live outside of North Korea? If you did, is that something you believe you would ever be able to pursue? If not, how does it feel to know your government officials are restricting you in that way?

Do most people buy into the propaganda or is it just pretending to out of fear?

Is it true that most, if not all, books in DPRK were written by your Dear Leaders?

Is there truth in the statement that you must report your neighbors regularly for bad things (not illegal, just bad things) they've done?

What are you thoughts about NK helping Russia in the war? Inside North Korea’s vast operation to help Russia’s war on Ukraine - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/thousands-troops-millions-shells-2025-04-15/

Do you know if there are significant differences between the Korean language of North Korea, and the Korean language of South Korea?

Or are they still very similar?

I only really know one word in Korean... I would sound it out as ' gam zeh hah mee da '.

I asked some local, older aged, shop owners of South Korean descent how to say 'thank you' in Korean so I could thank them with more respect when I shop at their stores... I may be pronouncing or spelling my pronunciation wrong.

Apoarently it is 감사합니다 in Korean... but that is likely South Korean, and it seems that South Korean and North Korean use different words, or pronounciations, for at least some terms...

It would be interesting to learn if there are more differences between the two forms of Korean. :D

What kind of music do you listen to? Can you recommend me any artists or songs you like? Thank you!

What's the cuisine like there? I enjoy south Korean cuisine, is food in the north similar?

김치를 좋아합니까?

Do you think the YouTube video of NKs eating BBQ genuine?

That whole thing about y'all not eating beef because they're beasts of burden you can use for farming and are valuable.

Hmm. Most questions are going to identify you too easily if you answer. I guess, how are things different between Pyongyang, other cities and the rural areas? There are tours for outsiders, but they're very limited in the places they can go. How easy is it for a citizen to move from one place to another?

Obviously, all kinds of information is on the internet already, but is there something you would like us to answer directly?

How much do North Koreans know about the outside world? Do they express interest in going outside the country, sometimes?

Also: why did you choose to post this on Lemmy, instead of Reddit?

Do you plan to move or travel outside of your country one day ?

And is it possible to play video game in NK ?

Take care 🫶

Did you saw the trolling some youtuber did about how NK manipulate the 2014 world cup results to shown that they won? Funniest shit ever.

What do you or people around you do for work

What is something the outside world has that you wish you had in North Korea?

Favorite song or musical instrument?

Do you believe the picture of Kim Il-sung's tumor is real? Or are you aware of the picture?

Do you know any other languages?

North Korea going hard on chatgpt and LLMs?

People will watch NASA rockets launch into space. I know it's different, but do ppl get to attend missile tests?

What sports are popular in North Korea? Your favorite sport?

Sorry for all the questions

Can you give a run down of what a normal day in your life is like?

How do people in NK normally use the internet?

How do people learn English? Your English is much better than I expected for a NK citizen.

how do you plan on escaping? how's the wired radio?
