Ask A North Korean What a North Korean thinks of South Korean electionsThe fact that someone can promise something they won't, or can't, deliver is the most shocking part
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week’s question is: Je Son, you previously wrote about elections in North Korea. What did you think about South Korean elections when you got there? Election campaigning doesn’t exist in North Korea. So, when I witnessed election campaigning with my own eyes for the first time in South Korea, I didn’t understand what they were doing. Candidates and their supporters made so much of an effort to speak to people on the streets. These people © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
