North and South Korea aren’t rivals. North Korea has been trying to free South Korea for decades.
Lots of Koreans don’t even consider them different countries.
But one day the US military will leave South Korea and leave these people alone.

I never said all Koreans. Or even most Koreans.
The US has occupied your country for so long that their propaganda got too strong in SK. The younger you are, the higher the chances of you seeing the world their way.
And the higher the chances you’re not asking them to leave.

Lol, the country that won’t let their citizens cross a border for fear of them never coming back will “free” the other completely free Koreans. Got it.
North Koreans can cross the border. The US have been feeding you too much propaganda.
When my cousin was there, he took a train from North Korea to China, along with several other Koreans. It’s a regular train between the two countries. I can link to his YouTube video (it’s in Portuguese, can at least you can see the train even if you don’t understand what he’s saying).
The only border they can’t cross is to South Korea. But that’s because they’re at war, not because of fear they won’t come back.
Can he migrate to China? Can he go to other countries once in China? Is he a North Korean citizen? Please do link, would love to watch it and get more context.
Hi. This is his video taking the regular train between NK and China. He made a playlist with his videos in NK.

I don’t know if there’s a way to generate translations from Portuguese to English, though.
Also, I don’t know what are China’s rules on immigration. They already have 500 trillion people, so they probably don’t make it easy to immigrate.
But no one in China will stop you from going from China to other countries. There are North Koreans that moved here to Brazil. And you can probably find them in other countries as well.
I would guess that the biggest barrier preventing anyone from migrating is that it’s hard as hell. Not the process itself, but leaving everything behind and moving far away, speaking another language.
And they would have to leave behind a country where they have free housing, absolutely zero taxes, good education, safety, and most important: guaranteed employment. So even though the US-imposed blockade makes their lives much harder, many people consider it to be better than moving to China and working 6 days a week in a low income job. Or working a low income job in any other nearby country.
I speak Portuguese. I don’t need a translator. In the video he stated most people at the train station are tourists and very few are Koreans going to China to work.
He also mentioned not being allowed to take photos of anything/anyone involved in the military and being that they’re everywhere, most places couldn’t be photographed.
I’m also Brazilian. I visited a military base in Brazil and took multiple photos and videos without having to hide it. Korea is not a free country.
This video also fails to show the parts of North Korea that hasn’t been specifically polished for tourists to see. If you want the true Korean experience, don’t take it from a polished North Korean tour experience. Take it from a North Korean refugee. There’s many videos, interviews, and books for you to read. Your English seems good enough.
