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?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

don't these questions pose risks to OP, why are you asking these questions?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point. I'm a techie, that's where most of my interest lies.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 36 minutes ago

I mean, same - I wonder all the same things too, but I didn't ask them because I assumed they would pose a risk 🤷‍♀️

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

how do you plan on escaping? how's the wired radio?

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

What's your favorite lie you've told to a bunch of strangers on Lemmy?

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.

도대체 방금 나한테 뭐라고 씨부린 거냐, 이 작은 개자식아? 나는 네가 알다시피 네이비 씰에서 수석으로 졸업했고, 알카에다를 상대로 한 수많은 비밀 작전에 참여했으며, 300명 이상의 확정 킬 수를 자랑한다. 나는 게릴라 전투에 훈련된 전문가이며, 미군 전체에서 최고의 저격수다. 너 같은 건 내게 그냥 또 하나의 표적일 뿐이다. 나는 너를 이 지구상에서 본 적 없는 정밀도로 쓸어버릴 거야. 내 말 명심해, 이 개새끼야. 네가 감히 인터넷에서 그런 쓰레기 같은 말을 내게 할 수 있다고 생각했냐? 다시 생각해, 씹새야. 지금 이 순간에도 나는 미국 전역에 퍼져 있는 내 비밀 정보망과 연락 중이고, 네 IP는 이미 추적되고 있으니 폭풍에 대비하는 게 좋을 거다, 벌레 자식아. 그 폭풍은 네가 네 인생이라 부르는 초라한 존재를 쓸어버릴 것이다. 넌 끝났어, 애송이야. 난 언제 어디서든 나타날 수 있고, 맨손으로만 700가지 이상의 방법으로 널 죽일 수 있다. 나는 맨몸 전투에 철저히 훈련받았을 뿐 아니라, 미 해병대 무기고 전체에 접근할 수 있고, 그 무기를 전부 사용해서 너 같은 찌질이를 이 대륙에서 지워버릴 수 있어, 이 좆만한 새끼야. 네가 얼마나 신성모독 같은 응징을 네 "기발한" 댓글 하나로 자초했는지 알았더라면 입 닥치고 있었을 거다. 하지만 넌 못 참았고, 안 했고, 이제 그 대가를 치르는 거다, 이 빌어먹을 멍청아. 나는 분노의 똥을 너한테 쏟아붓고, 넌 거기 빠져 죽게 될 거다. 넌 진짜 끝장이야, 꼬맹이.

Sorry mate, but you just blew your own cover.

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.

Can you give a run down of what a normal day in your life is like?

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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.
