North Korea is notorious for frequent blackouts and electricity shortages; only about 26% of the population has access to electricity, according to 2019 estimates from the CIA World Factbook.

Western social media is a font of authenticity. Thanks for raising the alarm.

It is a safe country though. How many school shootings has it had?

Atleast no kids die in mass shootings in the DPRK. Unlike in some other shithole countries

at least she didnt die in a school shooting.

My question is why does YouTube allow rogue countries to even have accounts directly or indirectly under their name.

You can't curb mass shootings but you have time to attack an 11 year old?

？？？

American propaganda be like : 'this teenage girl is bad!' Please go to a psychiatrist

Get a life

Trying to lure those old white American men!!

Its probably AI not even a real girl..

Sure does. That girl is at least 20

your experts are clowns

For a society so poor they are forced to eat bark off trees peach milk and biscuit ice cream is probably a donation from another country.

Shame on you CNN and your yellow journalism maligning the great DPRK with your pernicious LIES. You are full of FAKE NEWS!🤮

American should mind their effing business -your wives are Karens your husbands are Kens your kids are racists -Politically your country is imploding.

Looks so like a barbie doll play on the movie 😗
