Under the dictatorship of Kim Jong-un, North Korea has been on the QT. Nowadays, there’s little to almost no information or whatsoever about the country, so we are very curious. How is it like living there? How are people being treated? What’s prohibited?
Because of the strict laws and restrictions, it has become especially hard to know the answer to those questions. But last year Michael Huniewicz (a well-known photographer) traveled to the country with one mission: get an insight into how is the world for the North Korean people, on a daily basis. It wasn’t easy, but he managed to accomplish his mission and of course, here are the best and most explicit pictures for you to see.
