1. [+874, -20] Whenever I see pictures of North Korea, they always look like they're in black and white... like there's nothing really alive in it

2. [+808, -17] Pictures of North Korea look like pictures of the South from the 70s-80s

3. [+501, -34] Impoverished in the south vs resident in the north, I'd rather choose the south 100 times over...

4. [+20, -3] This picture is taken from a wealthy area... most North Koreans can't live like this

5. [+19, -0] Thankful I was born in the south

6. [+13, -2] I bet pictures from other districts look like 60s-70s

7. [+11, -2] They're all actors

8. [+9, -0] It'd be more accurate to say this is Pyongyang scenery than North Korea
