North Korea (2003) | 60 Minutes Archive

In what way is it worse today? I'm not implying North Korea is in any way satisfactory today and even now they seem to have growing food insecurities. But can today really be worse than the famine years in the 90s?

@@Melange2Kinda? North Korea has continued to isolate itself since the pandemic. It is true that in some respects life in North Korea is better than in the 1990s, but in terms of food there is no significant improvement. Also the fact that Kim Jong Un is focusing more on developing the army makes the situation even worse.

It's gotten worse over the last 20yrs. Ppl in the capital are starving now. The shops may look full but items are not for sale. Ppl run to the board to China and sell what they can to get $. The humanitarian aid that comes in, the twist N Korea states to it's ppl is these are reparations from the Americans for their imperialism attacks. There is a real problem with ppl smoking that the Govt has put up signs to discourage ppl from smoking even though their Leaders smoke more than a Russian steel mill.

If this has actually been shot in 2003 I don't know, but I know that during the peak of the famine the regime declared itself open to foreign humanitarian aid which was exceptional, and that aid was followed by a lot of reporters
1984
That's partly how I grew up, and my parents are astonished that I'm letting them die alone.
So the interview actually happened? 😆

Honestly from reports it appears to be worse. Malnutrition and lack of basic needs are the same as they've always been, but now due to increases in border technology the people are 100% locked inside with no way out. Defection has become physically impossible. Also, due to this lockdown of the border there are no more black markets which has greatly exacerbated the already trifling situation. FREE NORTH KOREA!!!
This is quite true - as someone who has read a lot of books and watched a lot of documentaries on North Korea. It is not the same anymore - but it was true back when this documentary was aired under Kim-Jong-Il

It's funny how Wallace criticizes North Koreans for "conformity" when he is desperate for North Korea to conform to capitalism and become just like everywhere else in the world.
North korea has come out of that economic crisis of the 1990s through sheer perseverance and ingenuity...her enemies expected the country to collapse but that did not happen and today the country is a vibrant socialist, people's democracy with a bright shining future under its young leader....

it is honestly sad to see these comments, and judging by the people who are commenting and their channels, i know they arent trolling. I don't know why you have to lie to yourself and look at dictatorships through rose-tinted glasses.
Sadly we have a former President, being Donald Trump, that believes N. Korea is prosperous and thinks Kim Jong Un is a great leader. And he wants the same thing here in America where he is the supreme leader.
20 years later and DPRK is completely transformed state! Even the foreign reporters now suggest there is virtually no famine anymore. The country has a strong nuclear capabilities and has a strong military industry capable of suppling much bigger nations with the arsenal. The cities have modern buildings, free education programs and one of the prettiest subways is located in Pyongyang. Stunning how they managed to prosper ..
