Korea / 조선

A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.

See also: !juchegang@lemmygrad.ml, which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.

The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.

Rules:

  1. No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.

  2. Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.

  3. Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

MOSCOW, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Direct international train service between Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and Moscow will resume on June 17, Russian Railways announced Tuesday via its official Telegram channel.

Additionally, passenger train service between Pyongyang and Khabarovsk in Russia's Far East is scheduled to resume on June 19.

The Pyongyang-Moscow route, which will operate twice a month, is currently the longest international train service in the world. The journey covers more than 10,000 kilometers and takes about eight days to complete.

Passenger train services between the DPRK and Russia were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020.

If you do, post pics of your trip to the DPRK!

Shit, that means I only need to buy 2 tickets if I'm fed up. One to Moscow, one to Pyongyang. I just have to barter with Kim that I'm useful, please let me stay, lol.

If you are an international student, I suppose that there is an option to stay. I have seen videos of plenty of students from China, Cuba and Russia staying there from the videos of Sally Yin -> https://xcancel.com/JustCherry__

Another option to stay in the DPRK will be to study this other person's book for answers:

That's what I have investigated so far in case anyone from Lemmygrad wants to give it a shot.
