There are several North Korean mini-dramas in YouTube.

Any people who don't have a South Korean citizenship can visit North Korea.

Does that answer your question?

You need the South Korean gov't's permission.

Surprising enough, I see there are some Japanese (not the Korean residents) who admire North Korea in the form of "escapism".

????

are you serious? Why North Korea is not on TV? Why South Koreans cant got there?
North and South are still officially at war, since 50years! North Korea is ruled by dictators, its a millitary state. Ever watched North Korea on Google Earth? Even in the citys there are nearly no people on the street, in the nights there are nearly no lights seen from space,....
You can go to North Korea but only if you are accompinied by goverment agents who will only let you see what they want you to see. No pictures of people, no talking to locals,... Besides paying alot of money to get there, you will be very ristricted. I cant understand how a country like this can still exist in our "modern" world and how people can not know whats going on.

watch this and learn FRONTLINE/WORLD . flashPOINT . North Korea . PBS

people speaking about Chinas restriction for the internet, thats sound like a joke when you get an idea how people in North Korea life.

BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | North Korea qualify for World Cup

Interestingly enough, North Korea is the first Asian country to be qualified for the FIFA World Cup in the quarterfinals in 1966.

Yes what's their problem indeed.
I was reading on yahoo how North Korea threatens to send a middle towards Hawaii or Alaska.

Really, what's the problem ?
He's so power hungry,
I'm quite tired of NK already.
