Korea As seen on this map, the isolated country of North Korea believes it has rights over the entire Korean peninsula.
That is the reason a huge military arsenal, with nuclear weapons, stands pointed at South Korea at all times.
Stop please
This photo shows a rare example of an undisciplined North Korean boy.
The bus was traveling the small roads of Samijyon in the north of the country when this child suddenly stood in front of the bus.
Don’t mess with perfection
This picture of an official painter working on a new mural in Chilbo caused an unexpected uproar. After the photographer took the picture everyone started yelling at him.
Apparently, due to the fact that the painting was unfinished taking its picture was forbidden. It seems all the artwork in North Korea must be perfect before being fit to be seen,
A quick break
This picture of a soldier sleeping in a field played a big part in getting the photographer banned from North Korea for life.
If you are wondering why, firstly, it is illegal to take pictures of soldiers due to military security and secondly this does not make North Korean soldiers seem very intimidating.
Kids carrying water
In this picture two kids are carrying water home in plastic pails. The North Korean regime doesn’t allow these kinds of pictures.
They contradict the stories of well fed and prosperous citizens. Even though the photographer explained that poverty exists in every country, his own included, they did not want him to take it.
