I don't think this is paid propaganda. I just think he's there for a tour which only shows the most luxurious parts of Korea and obviously he can't talk about anything bad he sees otherwise he'd get arrested.

perhaps the country is weird from our perspective. N. Korean may also think the same about other countries. what is sad here is this, how many of them would rather prefer to go out of their country to live a life that is not bounded by anything. I can't say they have freedom there.

I think Louis is a bit uneducated about what North Korea is really like.. I feel this way because he is saying how great of a place it is. when in reality probably less than 100 km aways there is a work camp where people are literally being worked to their death for very very small crimes or because they have done something that would be completely normal in every other part of the world. I am not expecting him to say it in the vlog while in NK but I would expect him to maybe put in some sort of disclaimer to let people know the reality of it. A lot of North Korean people put their lives at risk to try and escape, if they are caught they are shot on the spot. I just think it is irresponsible the way he is portraying it. and I understand the regular people of NK are just like us. But the government isn't doing good things.. they are making propaganda. The people of NK are essentially hostages of the North Korean government.

I know you want to keep everything positive but for the uneducated people, their going to think the city you're in is actually what North Korea is like.. which it's definitely not.

Well, considering he's actually in North Korea, and not some place else, like stated last episode they probably have a recording device noting whatever he says within the hotel rooms. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure it would be a huge risk (as in possibly going to jail in North Korea) if he is found talking bad about the country whilst still in the country. The guides that take them on a tour, make sure that nothing bad is said, they will always be monitored by North Koreans, and in the next vlog gov't officials will most likely be there to filter and monitor whatever is discussed between the tourist and the North Korea kids in school. So, yes these vlogs will most definitely focus on positives, but I'm pretty sure everyone educated(highschool educated and up) will most likely know that North Korea isn't a normal country and that it's capital Pyeongyang is a way to cover up all the negatives like as you stated about the concentration camps. Also, I agree with your last statement, the vid was freaking cool.

The church you visited in Pyongyang is called the Chilgol Church. It is one of two protestant churches in all of North Korea. Religion is banned in the country and all citizens who engage in Christianity are prosecuted by the totalitarian government. The church you visited is solely for use by visitors, no North Koreans worship there. Most defectors have actually said that they did not even know what the building was. It is simply a courtesy that they provide with the additional goal of giving you the feeling that they are less isolated than you thought.
