Also their 2012 Propaganda film is based af.

The Kims don't shit, how many other countries can claim that about their leaders?

Remember when they deported that US Army nigger who tried to defect? They are protecting their ethnostate (exception made for Dennis Rodman)

North Korea has some serious misconceptions about the US military. The odds of you finding 3 white soldiers in one war crime are very low.

I really love this cover of Brother Louie from best Korea.

I would unironically love to go to North Korea, just to experience what it's like to be in a real surveillance/police state. Whoever took this candid video is very brave.

They once kidnapped a South Korean director and forced him to make a kinda hard Kaiju movie with a Godzilla actor

Pulgasari

is it just me or do they have the fugliest language of all time over there in the norf kreea

Every time I see the name of something from over there it just resembles extremely goofy gibberish

also why is everybody in south korea named Park. it's like their version of "Singh"/"Preet", or kind of how everyone in Mexico has one or more of the same 5 last names. Does "Park" mean something in korean or do they really like cultivated outdoor areas for the purposes of relaxation and recreation. It's just weird because all their other names are like "Gooblyeobpbang" and "Yeongmungbbap" and then you just have "Park".

Best Korea can whoop Worst Korea's ass at Brood War any day

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

America thinks it's so great but what do they do to celebrate when the capitalist pig-dog Elon Musk fires off one of his pathetic bottle rockets? A live stream at best. While in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea they get the most amazing music ever made when our Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un, personally launches the most advanced rocket ever made! Juche > capitalism, suck it Western pig-dogs!

He made a bunch of films and I wish North Korean cinema wasn't so inaccessible.

I especially want to see the one where they derailed an actual train.

Could be worse, could be something ludicrous like Nguyen.

I think what happened with these surnames is they date back a really long time and some of them were more prominent than others and eventually won out through sheer numbers over time. Surnames in European languages are a lot more recent and have nowhere near the same meaning as they do in these cultures. I can't even trace my ancestors past my great-grandparents because Galicia was so frigging poor and illiterate we didn't have one.

Nobody gives a shit about last names in the US unless they're something really dumb sounding, like Nokes or Hiscock. I'd be careful around women with the hyphenated ones though...

Nguyen! I forgot all about Nguyen. The surname given to every single Vietnamese who ever lived. spelled like it's pronounced "Nagooyin", actually pronounced "win". incredibly strange and insect-like.

A lot of Korean names are some kind of natural feature, tree, or color. "Pak" or "Park" means "Hackberry tree". The most popular family name "Yi" or "Ri", depending on how you transliterate it, means "Plumb tree".

The Pulgasari toy is pretty cool and colourful.

They also made an unbelievably gorgeous cartoon about squirrel soldiers.

And they made another pretty cute one about a bear, which was an Italian coproduction:
