Didn’t help they kidnapped people from Japan.
Then lied about the kidnappings.
Then lied about them being dead.
Then lied about them being alive.
Then lied about their ashes.
Not just Japan. When they need language teachers and translators, they just dock their subs close to the beach of the country, and kidnap anyone they found there.
Reminds me of a story about how they kidnapped a movie director to make films for them. I don’t remember the details though.
Lmao they forced the guy to direct wish.com Godzilla
NGL that sounds like propaganda, and not reality.
Honestly, not the same thing. Atrocious, but not indescriminant submarine based abductions from far away lands for the language skills.
You said it sounds like propaganda. I gave you an example of what they did (verifiably) which is not.
I understand what occurred, I was right here. It DOES sound like propaganda, and it never happened. Did NK kidnap public figures from its immediate neighbor? Yea!
Is that neighbor part of the same hundreds of years old country that was split apart 30 years before this? Also yea!
Does any of this have anything to do with NK rolling up on a beach via a submarine and kidnapping people to teach language classes? No! That’s ridiculous, and providing a link that shows that NK did in fact kidnap VERY SPECIFIC people, when someone else is suggesting this is happening near indiscriminately is basically lying.
Jesus, I sound like an NK apologist. Fuck NK, and fuck any govt that does the things nk does, but making up bullshit and exaggerating beyond reason in order to frame NK as somehow even worse than it is, is by definition propaganda.
Edit: as pointed out by OP, NK did in fact kidnap civilians from Japan for the purposes of teaching foreign languages.

Here is a Wiki link which mentions that Japanese people were abducted for translation reasons.
Doesn’t seem so ridiculous now.
Yes, you sound like that.
