The name has been almost permanently ruined. Whenever people hear of it, they always think of no food, 1984, worshipping the leader, getting your entire family arrested for not doing so, all that stuff. And if you say otherwise, they just call you a propagandist who is hiding the truth. And even if Korea’s government does anything like build a water park, people say that it is just to “fool the world into believing they are good”. Like they can’t even build an entire village without people saying that they are just building it to deceive people.

At least China is taken seriously by a lot of people.

    I hear what you’re saying, but I’m not sure building a water park is the boast you think it is.

      It’s like you can’t read.

      Clearly this is meant to be an example for twisting anything DPRK does into something sinister.

        So among the two best, most innocent things the DPRK did in the past ten years was building a water park?

            He might be a policeman, they always patrol in pairs because one can read and the other can write. Third one sit in the station to monitor those two suspicious intellectualists.
