    This person is a faker using translate. Even allowing for differences between southern and northern dialects, they do not speak Korean like a Korean. Their English grammatical and spelling errors are also not even remotely close to those typically made by Koreans who are only partly familiar with English. They have also referred to their country as “북한”: “North Korea”. Pretty sure that’s a hangable offense up there in the land of Joseon.

    Entertainment maybe, but don’t expect any truth in here. Kinda like Fox News I suppose.

    OP: Next time, don’t use commas in your Hangeul. They are a western invention. South Koreans use them very rarely, now. I can’t imagine North Koreans use them at all.

    How are you accessing the internet? My understanding was that there was only an extremely restricted intranet.

    Do you use Red Star OS?

    I’d really appreciate it if you could provide as much info as you can about how you’re accessing Lemmy.

    Is it through a device you’re allowed to use or one you’re using illegally?

    Is it a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet?

    What operating system does it use? Windows, Linux, Android, iOS?

    What method does it connect to the internet through? Dial up, wired broadband, wifi or through a mobile network?

    Hi Song, I was wondering what sort of art people enjoy in North Korea? Any poetry, folk tales or painting?

    Hope you have a nice day

    How do people in NK normally use the internet?

    How do people learn English? Your English is much better than I expected for a NK citizen.

      내가 여러 번 말했듯이, 내가 하는 말을 믿을 필요는 없다. 만약 내가 조선 사람이며 조선에 대해 궁금해 하실 수 있는 질문들에 대한 답변을 드리고자 하는 가능성에 관심이 없으시다면, 이 글은 여러분을 위한 것이 아니다. 나는 여러분의 신뢰를 바라지 않는다. 이를 통해 얻을 수 있는 것은 없다. 하지만 많은 사람들이 조선 사람들과 대화를 나누어 본 적이 없기 때문에, 나는 그 소통의 격차를 좁히고 평범한 조선 사람의 솔직한 관점을 제공하고자 한다.

    This post technically doesn’t go against out rules, aside from not having a question mark, so I will leave it up, but please note that there is no way to verify this person is actually who they say they are, and you should be wary of misinformation online.

      안녕하세요. 저는 북한에서 온 평범한 사람입니다. 여러분이 저를 믿거나 신뢰할 필요는 없습니다. 저는 여러분의 신뢰나 우정으로부터 어떤 이득도 얻을 수 없습니다. 다만 북한에서의 일상적인 삶에 대한 솔직한 이야기를 나누고 싶습니다.

      많은 분들이 북한 사람을 직접 만날 기회가 없으실 겁니다. 그건 당연한 일입니다. 우리 대부분은 인터넷 접근이 제한되어 있기 때문입니다. 제 영어 실력이 부족해서 한국어로 말씀드리고, 다시 영어로 번역하겠습니다.

      저는 특권층이 아닙니다. 저도 여러분과 같은 평범한 사람으로, 일하며 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 직장을 가지고 있습니다. 이 인터넷 연결 덕분에 Lemmy나 Reddit 같은 웹사이트에 접속할 수 있습니다. 물론 TOR 같은 것도 사용합니다.

      여러분이 저를 믿지 않으셔도 괜찮습니다. 하지만 제 나라에 대한 질문에는 최선을 다해 답변드리겠습니다.

      이 글이 제가 이 계정을 마지막으로 사용하는 글이 될 것 같습니다. 저는 Lemmy에 다른 계정도 있지만, 익명을 지키고 싶어서 공개하지 않겠습니다.


      Hello. I am an ordinary person from North Korea. You don’t need to believe or trust me. I have no gain from your trust or friendship. I just want to share an honest story about everyday life in North Korea.

      Many of you may not have the opportunity to meet a North Korean person directly. That is understandable, as most of us have limited access to the internet. My English skills are not very good, so I will speak in Korean and translate it into English.

      I am not part of the privileged class. I am an ordinary person like you, with a job that allows me to work and use the internet. Thanks to this internet connection, I can access websites like Lemmy and Reddit. Of course, I also use things like TOR.

      It’s okay if you don’t believe me. However, I will do my best to answer any questions you have about my country.

      I think this will be the last post I make with this account. I have other accounts on Lemmy, but I won’t disclose them to maintain my anonymity.

      So it does go against the rules and we know it’s likely a lie. There is no reason to keep it.

        I prefer to exercise positive intent, but you do you negative Nellie.

        Sure you can be skeptical in your mind but perhaps engage with the person and try to find more information and then make a judgement.

        I’m curious as to what you find so unbelievable. The fact that someone from NK is on the internet or that they found Lemmy. I know for a fact if I was from NK I wouldn’t be able to resist the curiosity of using the internet, consequences be damned.

        One way to do so is to take a photo with some unique words established here, along with maybe a newspaper and / or something in the background that proves your location is indeed NK (though you should be careful to not expose your identity doing this, I think it’s just important the photo is authentic and establishes you are who you say you are).

      I remember this. Really crazy how this was all orchestrated. The girls were trained to be part of pranks unaware that they were going to commit murder at the end.
