0:00 the Russians are like like are you going to put my kid in ice cold water or whatever and then the Koreans like oh only the coldest water oh yeah High pip it's a good summer camp this is an actual news report they're all you believe it or not because a lot of people are kind of saying that it's hard to believe and I don't know if that's true there um there was a report from a South Korean publication saying that North Korea executed 30 teens for watching kdramas I did see this I saw this but I don't know how true right oddly enough it's like I mean North Korea for sure like every country has reasons to lie about what they do North Korea says they've never done any public executions which I don't

0:50 know that's kind of a stretch but they said 30 teens were executed for watching kramas that were brought over the border on a USB uh but all of the sources for this happening are South Korean so some people are saying well South Korea I don't know why there's even North Korean stands online but they're just like yeah whenever all all the sources are South Korean it's propaganda they always make the north look bad yeah so what do you think I think it probably happened 30 of them I think it's a uh it's a propaganda for South Korea to be like hey you want to be really bad get into K-pop and and then they're trying to boost record sales oh cuz it's like you know how like the CIA was involved with hip-hop and then it's like hey let's make a lot of money you know mhm not bad so it's a marketing Ploy you

1:42 can't watch kdramas in North Korea like you're down to risk uh just pushing the needle 1% further towards Civil War again in that sense for marketing yeah I mean I mean South Korea needs their K-pop is a big staple yeah they don't need marketing for it they're killing it well they want to kill even harder by saying that they're getting killed oh so you think hey does Microsoft want to grow oh no they're probably already killing it stupid Microsoft's killing kids too no they're killing it oh that is a that is a really funny board meeting to have at a like highly successful company we're like now we're already good we're good guys we're going to talk about nothing we're number one the green baby I feel like it's believable cuz isn't that the whole thing where they uh they don't want anyone to be too stimulated

2:32 you know like so you don't want food that tastes too good or anything to be too stimulated where it's going to make you want to leave whatever situation you're in cuz in order to keep it contained everything has to be like this is fine now so you can't have foods that are too palatable entertainment that's too entertaining you know it can't have anything that's too like too much where you're like I need to get out of this place this world sucks sounds on brand like if we don't have 30 people in military outfits playing the Accord it is not allowed it says that there's something they have there called the reactionary ideology culture rejection act and it forbids individuals from disseminating media that originates in South Korea USA or Japan yeah so none of those countries are allowed to have it yeah like imagine you throw a ████ Maxim magazine in the middle of the street they're going to blow their

3:22 brains like is this portal or what is this Kim Jong-un likes the basketballs I don't think Maxim exists anymore it's Illustrated any of those ████ borderline things it's going to blow their brains I mean it is believable right because also like the fact that straight up the K-pop culture and scene in industry is one of South Korea's strongest things biggest export yeah for for even just a small country that doesn't have like a high populace to be like a an armed threat you know what I mean it's like their one of their biggest tools that they poured so much energy and resource into is their k-pops industry that's why you see it like at a global scale so that is a tool or or weapon if you will you know what I mean to to North Korean people who are like

4:13 wanting to learn or yearning to like know more about other things in the world a really a really funny thing is that people are like well North Korea is not going to release a report about doing that you know people who go like they say they don't have a hungry hungry problem that's what they call a hungry problem they say don't have any problems with food development or anything yeah they said they're Gucci yeah and also like there have been many governments or just historically like if you're going to set an example one time to make sure that it doesn't happen for Generations you are going to do something ████ insane yeah 30 execution that's going to teach everybody the lesson you know what I mean I feel like North or anyone that has seen something that they can now spread cuz imagine if it was 1 and they're like dude you got to listen to ████ ████ like 30 can turn into 60 easily exponentials like let's just get

5:04 rid of all these ████ well there there's already you know how like people that go undercover and then they show that ████ like apparently everybody watches dub content so American dub content like pirated ████ from they they already have a whole market and they're watching the entertainment already so what if this is a thing of like they're like yo they're getting too much into this Western ████ so we have to make a thing because maybe they look the other way and and they've been watching the content for like 10 years maybe they should like let some of the North Koreans watch like some of the new Star Wars shows like the acolyte that's true then they would have been like I don't I don't really want to watch did you watch it you like it kill me instead yeah I'm good actually we the government's right we shouldn't watch any of this ████ so is it North Koreans can never leave North Korea like yeah can't they can't even go through China or whatever A lot of them Escape into to

5:55 the region in China I was actually just in a city in China called uh North China where uh Shenyang yeah and that's basically like really close to North Korea and that whole area of chines of China has a an entire Korean like diaspora there so like there's like basically like K toown like Korean barbecue and everything like that all up and down this like one area because a bunch of people have like chosen to defect that way versus just going down to South Korea do they is it like an in andout thing or is it just out I mean can you go out and get groceries or whatever and then come back in no no no no no no I think it's just but but people do still return you know what I mean well there's work uh they're not exchange programs but they're like slavery so basically the way there's like a lot of North Koreans that do um

6:47 they're contracted by the government to work in Russia China and all that and they do a lot of the certain dangerous labor or whatever factories and stuff like that a lot of the the stories that I'm not all affirming or admitting um is that when North Koreans do escape and go to China it's not that China sends them back but if they want to stay then they do have to do the like the crazy hard labor like low pay type situations oh right wow but that being said it would it could make sense for especially something a country like North Korea that we've always seen to be kind of extremist in certain lights to like do something to set a tone for you know set the example yeah that they don't want that to I didn't know this but it says here that they're going to start sending Russian kids to North Korean summer

7:37 camps what yeah def find summer camp no just like just literally like a summer camp for kids they're going to do it in North Korea for Russian kids so Russian Russia like did you guys see the Putin and the Kim J and he was like bye goes bye like romance and ████ like that they're buds huh so I guess maybe that's part of it yeah guess Exchange program yeah it says it's a way to like bring the ties closer they're just going to start doing little like things between the countries but that seems kind of imagine if you were a kid imagine if you're the parent you're sending your kid to a North Korean summer camp uh they probably are going to give them the best ████ though yeah they're probably going to make a great impr yeah they're going to put their best foot forward like a journalist when they're there what if they don't have the what if all their s███'s outdated though they're like hey check this out it's like boring ass or maybe it's the best ████ in their perspective so like

8:27 the Russians are like like are you going to my kid in ice cold water or whatever and then the Koreans like oh only the coldest water oh yeah High P it's a good summer cab cuz cuz I think for them they probably want to just create the hardest ████ citizens ever so it's not ours as like oh is our kids going to pursue their passions or whatever I think for them it's like are they going to learn about their gender exactly what does a Chinese kid hope to find that a Russ or what is a a a Russian kid kid but a Russian kid what do you think a Russian kid would enjoy figh I wish to fight crocodile that's bullets your nuclear weapons are very nice like that bullets rollerblade shooting yeah damn walk Barefoot on fire I don't know I love our Western perspective of things our Russian

9:17 accents are pretty good you say that's all the ████ all the Russian Fighters I follow like all their childhoods are ████ crazy wrest I wrestle be would you rather say in TAA to a North Korean summer camp or Russian summer camp both of them do both of them yeah back to back yeah summer a and then summer B and then come back do both of them yeah don't do the American on summer a and summer B he's going to be ████ he's going to be like hugging trees and ████ you'd rather send him to North Korean summer camp than a Portland Oregon summer camp ████ yeah what if he comes back harder than you oh hell yeah thank God my job is done what if he comes back malnourished and dirty it's okay he'll feed him D go to in- and out real quick come on take care of that problem suck it up dude in and out the milkshake that's true yeah you get mil nutrients you need buddy what if he comes back doesn't believe in
