Ask A North Korean Ask a North Korean: How did you experience the seasons in the DPRK?Each season brings new challenges, especially for farmers, as the state promotes ‘battles’ to achieve grain targets
“Ask a North Korean” is an NK News series featuring interviews with and columns by North Korean defectors, most of whom left the DPRK within the last few years. Readers may submit their questions for defectors by emailing [email protected] and including their first name and city of residence. Today’s question comes from Joshua, who asks about seasons in North Korea. Joshua Kim (a pseudonym) — who was born and raised in North Korea and lived there until he defected in 2019 — writes about how seasonal changes affect the daily lives of North Koreans.
