    Sorry, are you suggesting that North Korea is actually a nice place, where they’re not brainwashed, and where people aren’t put into forced labor camps if their family members defect, but I’ve just been misled by CIA propaganda? Attached to a story about North Koreans being ordered to kill themselves rather than be captured?

        Here’s one UN source.

        North Koreans are “controlled and exploited through an extensive and multi-layered system of forced labour” directed toward the State’s interests rather than the people’s, the report authors concluded.

        Note that this was the first result from my search, so I can only assume that means you never even tried to find any information yourself, yet you still disbelieved it.
