Imagine being one of the most well known news anchors of your country, and having a nice flat be a big deal. Says a lot about the country
Big deal? Most news anchors have become millionaires.
@@GCP1144 That's what I'm saying , famous news anchors are very rich and having a flat for them is not very exciting. But in North Korea's case its a big deal .
@@anwitmondal6417 I thought you said that in general. I got you now 👍
that's because north korea is an egalitarian country and prioritises the prosperity of all societal strata
@@ekulgar pretty sure that pour suffering from malnutrition will tell you differently
It's not like she could have said otherwise
Lol, don't ruined the vibe dude 🤣
She didn't want to become, target practice.
@@fauzankhairi4502 ha ha right😂 let's appreciate our boi kim for this once
Its not like she had a reason to say otherwise
@@saint_lunatic i think she deserves it i know its all propoganda but for 40 tears anchoring for a country respect man
To someone who has never heard of North Korea or Kim Jong-Un, this looks totally normal and even warming. To someone who has, this is chilling.
To someone who was never subjected to western propaganda, this is totally normal.
@@mechi4978 lol so you'd rather live in north korea than South Korea?
Who has never heard of North Korea?
@@jackmaitland8496Maybe he wants to feel the boundless love of the glorious supreme leader.... Who knows? Or maybe he just wants an extensive weight loss program
@@mechi4978 No matter what propaganda you heard. Every modern ideology despises hereditary dictators.
She’s North Korea’s top celebrity. I hope we get a biopic movie about her. Preferably a documentary
tryna get her killed or smt?
scarlett johansson can play her in the movie cos she can play any role that is culturally misappropriate
@@hanssolos3699 yess
@@hanssolos3699 I was thinking Meryl Streep but oh well 🙄
Na Moon-hee fits the role very well than any western actresses mentioned above
Now if some of that endless love could spill over to feeding the rest of his country
along side making 50000 apartments they also are making a huge farm big enough to feed 50000 home (or more in dire situations)
Whoa there, that's a little bit too much to ask. Baby steps.
If the US would lift the sanctions.
@@kholeka8475 i don't think that would help their communists aka no capitalists allowed
what would help is the government investing in a factory dedicated to making farm greenhouses and equipment to give some upgrades out to farmers
level up from rice
@@kholeka8475 or rather kimmy stop manufacturing missiles. The saving would help N Korea's economy and it's people
I don't know why but I have feelings that her new house would have hidden cameras everywhere and would be watched every seconds, every day
She is just following Kim's order. If not, she'll be shot
They don't have enough electricity for that lol
@@susanli7149 they have one family on that house basement riding excersice bicycle to give electricity power.
If you are so concerned about privacy, stop using the internet and cellphone;
Practically any governmen could monitor its citizens nowadays.
Nah he trusted her
This lady deserves an Oscar
But Oscars don't exist in North Korea
@@SalvadorUnited bruh
Have you folks seen any of her broadcasts? She DOES deserve an Oscar for being able to read that stuff day after day with a straight face!
Oscar is dirt in her eye
How did you use that emoji 😢@@Fabio-cg7rk
Thinking about this makes me feel so deeply for the people who have absolutely nothing in NK, prayers to them 🙏📿🛐
save that for the africans.
They are better that many democratic nation, that lack everything.
She worship Kim for 30+ years and finally she got a flat...woah
Maybe she doesn't have a choice,who knows?what would you do if you were in her shoes??
@@b3ng260 true
@@b3ng260 she's not the only one that can do anchoring in NK.......she has choice
@@mohiman5242 if living in NK i guess you dont have a choice
@@mohiman5242 no she don’t. Are you really that delusional to think that people have a choice in an authoritarian regime? The only people that have choice there is the Kims and the politicians.
Wow, she's 78 now.
With NK's life expectancy lower than that, she can enjoy her new residence for a couple more years.
She looks granddaughter of Joe Biden. Impressive, it is the food?
She is well loved even in the west because of her brave rhetoric.. actually she deserves a bigger house
Point noted
@@Kim_Jong_Un_2023 supreme leader 🙌 🐽 🙈😂
Servant of People can not have a bigger house in front of camera
@@Kim_Jong_Un_2023 Hi how are you?
Yes. Comrade Kim sends you his best regards. A big house is waiting for you to claim in North Korea!
Not because she wants to, but because she has to and has been trained to her entire life. She may be a sweetheart, but brainwashed sweethearts are still brainwashed.
She is brainwashed but not you. Pathetic ! 🙈
Yuri needs me!
@@S.S635 communism is pretty easy to understand. “Do this or your entire generation is gone”
And you're not brainwashed?
@@james7286 ofc not, everyone who agrees with the usa is smart, and everyone else is just an asian cyborg who follows dear leaders orders and has no opinions 🙄
You said that out of emotion and sometimes not really what you want.
She’s been loyal to the state since the 60s I think she whole heartedly means everything she said. She’s a true patriot
She is just following kim's order, she is not the bad person
As long as she follows... she's alive and happy.
But still in fear
@@ladycommentor2536 what is there to fear when you are respected, happy, and alive?
@@geospliced whatever you meant by that, Kim just needs to raise a finger to send her and 5 generations of her family and distant siblings to torture camp until they forget they're humans.
@@ladycommentor2536 you mean Americans who is always living in fear of getting shot or getting heart attack when looking at their medical bills ? Even as graduate you will have a tons of student loan already
No, she's only blind...
A person needs to be judged by their brain capacity too
Kim: *uses her as a surfboard, a baseball bat, a mop, a toilet paper and a shark bait*
Her: Thank you for the Endless Love.
😂 😂
you must be american, always the same bullying and disrespectfull approach always ! but what can we expect from someone living in a gun infested cowboy society, focusing on a celebrity lifestyle and materialism as numero uno....
What about capitalist garbage in the west.
Huh?
@pzza At least he didn’t do that to her🤣🤣🤣
Awwww her loyalty is very touching 🙃
The best movie I've ever seen!!Literally brought tears into my eyes.😭😭😭😭🤧
Lol
Since the concept of strategic nuclear weapons developed in North Korea, submarines have become an important means of conducting strategic attacks on the entire country, including enemy leaders and military bases, away from tactical tools that detected or sank enemy ships. It is not an exaggeration to say that today's "strategic ship," armed with advanced detection technology and nuclear means, is virtually the equivalent of a nuclear power. This is because even if the nuclear war has resulted in mutual confirmation and destruction, it is no longer possible to continue the war on the mainland, strategic nuclear weapons that can dive underwater for a long time using nuclear reactors are still operating.
The amount of nuclear weapons loaded on a super-large strategic nuclear weapon is also enormous in size. For example, the Ohio-class submarine, the current SSBN in operation in the United States, has a total of 24 SLBM launchers, which carry eight W88 thermonuclear warheads at 475 kt per unit. If this submarine fires nuclear weapons, a total of 192 nuclear warheads will be dropped on the enemy.
🤣
Idiot
😂😂😂😂
They both seem like really nice ladies that work hard. I wish them both the best.
She can't complain!
so do you...say anything about "chosen people" and see what ur gov will do to u
@@azamkhan1526 #GLORYTOTHECCP
that's so right. She can't complain at all
@@firefly4326 That's the joke sherlock.
I feel sad and thankful at the same time.
She's honestly a real sweetheart in North Korea
The sweetheart of death and enslavement of the most corrupted and evil political system on this planet!!! Your so called honesty is ridiculous.
Everything we see is a carefully orchestrated act.
@@PeugeotRocket lol western capitalist propaganda
and there are hidden cctv around the house. one act of mistake will cost her life.
She deserves so much more
Like the millions of people in NK who got absolutely nothing.😊They deserve also more... like freedom. Maybe the choice what clothes or haircut to put on. Maybe the right to leave the country without getting shot. Maybe the right of free speech.
@@horaufdeinemutti9229 True
Why would a robotic propagandist deserve anything but a fair wage?
You can see how much she is happy with this flat she can never dream in North Korea.
@@peters7229 dude that person literally work in news in a country where you can get shot for no reason and that too for 50 years and in 2 generations and your saying she deserves nothing 😑😑
I will follow him
Follow him, wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow him
Ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He is my destiny
I love him, I love him, I love him ❤❤❤
And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
🤣😂🤣🎶
@@Sheikh_Speare😂
Bless her heart.
I loved the video of him showing her the new place. It was so adorable. I know there are strings ect but it was still cute
Ah yes cute dictator :)
If you go there speak against them, they'll behead you in no time
I agree
May i ask where i can see that video?
How cute, she abandoned any form of journalistic integrity in favor of promoting a murderous dictator in exchange for personal gain.
Sure, what choice did she have? I'm not judging her. It was better than starvation or imprisonment. But let's not act like this was "cute".
What's cute or adorable about any house?
Sad that only after 50 years she gets to live in decent luxury, in the West with her journalism career, she could own multiple mansions 😔
Popular figures within public are kept close to capital its kind of prison with lifetime imprisonment
She is not a journalist. She is the State parrot.
I remember I heard in the past about this lady, and it's not the first time she gets a flat, she has even had luxury cars among other things the rest of the country will never have, because of what she does and her loyalty to the leaders.
Luxury is subjective to wealth of a particular nation . North Korea is a very poor county so luxury seems rather middle or upper middle class to us.
A journalist contributes little in comparison to an electrician for example. Owning one mansion is ridiculous, not to say of multiple
There does not seem to be any real joy on their faces, the eyes alone tell me how these women and their families feel. The video mentions that the loyalists to the regime are gifted these new flats, not other citizens.
Awesome Ri Chun-hee!
It’s not like she was allowed to say anything else.
I hope you and your family are always healthy, amen
Life is always colorful when you are living among the elite, while everyone else is living in misery
Yes you are right. Although in this specific case it is a reward for many decades of work
Yes, especially inside totalitarian country
Hmmm, capitalism?
They live better than you do, american.
@@guimaraesmota3392 The difference is under capitalism you have a chance to rise above squaller and become something great.
_-Endless Love-__ Everlasting love, so pure, divine_
Even though i don’t agree with many of the North Korean policies and the Kim family I got to give her credit for sticking with her beliefs and mindset I guess…
These people don’t have the free will to stick to their beliefs. It’s either that or death!
@@airwolfcentral169 I don’t believe all agree with the their corrupt rule but there are like in many countries fanatics and believe in corruption
Her mindset? You are joking.
Oh boy. You're naive
@@airwolfcentral169 I honestly don't think they have their own beliefs when living in a brainwashed society since the day the were born. What else can she compare life in North Korea to?
The new houses are gorgeous! I hope comrade ri enjoys her new home, she deserves it
It is a lovely house. What a fantastic gift. The supreme leader is a generous and wise man.
@@chucknutly3290 The "supreme leader" is also a dictator and has probably placed cameras in every corner of that apartment. He is neither kind nor wise.
@@chucknutly3290 The Supreme Leader is Supreme for some reason...He is merciful and takes care of his subjects like they are his own children...what a beautiful man!
Are you guys kidding??? Satire???
@@Danileptic Comrade, the Supreme Leader's generosity is not something to kid about. The world stopped when he was born, he moves mountains with his bare hands, and he single-handedly solves the hunger crisis by feeding everyone potatoes. His feats are out of this world! Glory to the Supreme Leader, long may he reign.
One of the chosen ones no wonder she is happy. So sorry for the way ordinary people live. One day they will be set free.
Awesome new apartment for Ri Chun-hee!
: tell me your from nk without telling me your from nk
@@theemo874 CRY ABOUT IT. Enjoy the video without ruining the mood.
I wonder how many microphones and cameras in that flat.
Hard Work will always be appreciated.
Millions are being worked to death and don’t get s*it
Literally in North Korea tens of millions of peoples hard work is rewarded with punishment or death. Her work kept the regime going and nobody in her family has gotten in trouble for anything in generations. That’s the only reason she was rewarded after 50 years
She can't say anything other than praising him, unless she is not afraid of death.
It would be nice if the interview ended with her singing Lionel Ritchie's "Endless Love"...
Im dying
How loving of their DEAR LEADER
wow you just can't get this kind of loyalty anymore these days
It's only loyal if you chose to be with who you want to, not to be forced to.
Loyalty to the end.
make no mistake, she belongs to the 1% elite class in the capital, loyal to Kim, and very well aware of the destitution majority of North Koreans are suffering from, and of the free world outside North Korea.
Make that the 0.1%

where the elite lives, where are the mansions?
lol that's a very funny way of describing capitalism
Meanwhile Kim's just casually executing dissenters...
This made me laugh ... what can be surprising if he can spread that love around the world
Or even his own country
For Kim, he’s just buying a dog house for his pet.
I am crying too ..for North Korea.
Supporting for Trump makes North Korea as Friend but Biden warns ⚠️ everyone to join North Korea, find who is a hater now?
She deserves it for endless love for her nation
Are you an idiot?
You mean the people, because no one loves the nation
I don't think spreading lies to your countrymen is called "love for her nation"
@@chefcarry2902 how do you know they are lies? have you been watching NK national television?
@@alexandrubaginean7369it's communism
Love from Asia
Wow! They all look so happy!
Follow him to the end of the world? at what cost? A flat? seriously? I feel sorry for this journalist in that she has to show this much devotion to Kim Jong Un and have no control over her life like many North Koreans. They all have been stripped of their freedom and ownness!
I love how a simple flat is seen as luxury in North Korea. Western greed and materialism is disgusting. Instead of ridiculing them, we should learn from them. I don’t mean a totalitarian dictatorship I mean a simple, basic living with focus on society instead of individual greed.
The Supreme Chubby Leader is such a nice kind hearted person 😊
You gotta admit she's the powerful Grandma of Kim & N. Korea😅
wait until she know that news anchor around the world in each country number 1 channel could easily get all her "gift" from Kim in 3-10 years
Yes of course but not from their supreme leader 😁😁😁
These people are great actors
the way everyone blankly stares at the radio announcer while shes speaking makes it look like shes being held hostage haha
She Worked Hard
Even If She Is Loyal To A Dictator
She has A Family To Protect
She Deserves It. 👍
She obviously knows who her true master is.❤️
Sometimes they stop talking and check again whether they praised in the most appropriate way or not. Fantastic human behaviour.
Those two guys staring at her.....
"Better not slip up"
I still feel happy for her, every country has it's terrible and hidden secrets...
These ladies are worth being nominated for Best Actress
When we cherish over the pain of other is ridiculous.
Congrats lady anchor job well done!
Real fun is when she becomes a defector
This is to keep an eye on her
This looks like a standard 5 over 1 apartment - but blessings to her...Although I was lost at the exposed ac unit, it is a blessing that she doesn't have to worry about paying for her's like the rest of us.
I'm very happy for both of them
She really is a great lady, and fully deserving of the respect she receives from around the world. She is so humble and devoted. She could babysit a house full of western kids, and they would respect and listen to everything she says
As she fed them cyanide capsules with their milk.
Yeah, but can she look at herself in the mirror?
She's a monster, uuufff
yea, KEEP BELIEVING THAT !
Don't forget American said, 'I can't breathe.'
She’s awesome 👏.
Me too.
wow she's so soft-spoken compared to her tv voice
As much as I want a unification between north and south, sometimes I wonder if it’s possible. The north koreans can’t adjust to the capitalist life, it’s gonna be hard for them if Korea becomes one
The East Germans did it without too much trouble. Humans are adaptable, especially if afforded freedom of movement and thought.
@@peters7229 East Germany suffered (and still suffer) from the unification though.
respect to kim
now she can retire in a new apartment next to the river
1:22
The 🐻 is the only one looks Truly Happy 😊
You're already there, lady, you're already there.
She has been lying to the whole world for her entire life.
She have reached to the mastery of lying, and so powerful
that she can even decept her own feelings.
👏👏👏....
Hasta se cree sus propias mentiras..
El ser humano. Justo lo que jamás entenderemos...!
Saludos..
Honestly for dealing with multiple Kim's this is much less than she deserves since she's not the bad one.
Congratulations~🌹💐
If she does not follow him to the end, Kim will follow her for her end.
Everyone praising North Korea in the comments should move there then tell me how it is.
What kind of logic is that?
@@violetsther3739 Just logic.
If she won't follow him , she will not be in this world 🌍 🤣🤣🤣.
Brainwashing is a terrible thing, I hope she can break free of it and become a human being once again.
My grandmas soviet-era apartment looks better than hers which kinda shows the economic situation in North Korea as this apartment she got is apparently 'premium'.
Love your leaders and thats it!
Except when your leader is kim jung un
"for the sake of survival in north Korea" you forgot to add this
😂
The fact that she is still alive means that she is doing well in NK.
i cant be the only one wondering if the house has a dishwasher
Surreal stuff.
They deserve that because of there dedication and hardwork and loyalty i hope this not scripted play.
Obviously not a fan of what propaganda she spouts but I've also grown accustomed to seeing her broadcast reels for certain events on national news since I was a kid (32 now).
She certainly had proved herself loyal and if anyone deserved a nice place it was her.
I mean, she played the hand she was dealt. She doesn't really deserve anything but I can't blame her as it was this or starve so....
Makes sense to show her undying devotion or she's going to end up in a far less salubrious location.
And you just know she’s watching Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond in secret every night, LOL.
this is not a bad thing lol
it doesn't matter if she's a propagandist, it's not like NPR is actually independent, they are too propagandists
she has done her job as an announcer well, she is being rewarded with an apartment
That’s crazy how you can’t just make money and buy a house the Supreme Leader must give you one
In many parts of the world, even after working hard, its impossible to buy a home. Its not much different in capitalist societies for the working masses.
bruh, the flat is smaller than mine
and i got it with only 6 years of work
Happy for her. Her home is beautiful.
Ppl sitting next to that Anchor and Announcer are looking like they are anticipating and care fully listening every word those ladies any one mistake while ur speaking ur gone, Done and dusted. 😜🤣
