auto_transcript: me what I'm going good whatever going to where the p right after we launched yes people start saying North Korea why
don't you go to north korea why because nobody knows anything about
North Korea so we were fascinated by it and we tried to get in for a year and a
half but could because north Korea doesn't let anyone
in they do not want anyone to corrupt there are 100 percent homogeneous society that is 100 percent
ruled by one person and the in the end we just
got so frustrated that we end up flying to South Korea and
saying well this week and go to the DMZ answer to put our foot into North Korea
and and sorry about the see a little bit of
it from the south let's go see the DMZ which is the demilitarized zone
which is the border between North Korea and South Korea since the Korean War ended it's been the most militarized zone on earth with
two million estimated troops from the north korean side of 500,000 on the
South Korean side missiles pointed to other artillery tanks this three million mines on the
border itself factor so many mines that the north
koreans bill invasion tunnels with him 170 meters
down like we can be in in Solan in an hour and a half now the
CIA and and American army have found number
please but they think that there's even more it's been called the in the
world and it's the closest you can get to see getting to the DMZ is an easy it's only
an hour and a half north of Seoul where you have to go through about 15
checkpoints then you have to go through the united nations sorta indoctrination session weather

minutes throughout the laptop in South Korea
before going with the over the the here's freedom ridge but after the
Korea War with the lab by the North exchange the
