The resting place of one of Korea's most mighty and legendary kings, Dongmyeong of Goguryeo, also known as Dongmyeong the Master Archer, the patron saint of all east Asian archery based martial arts, is just outside of Pyongyang, at the massive Goguryeo and Joseon Dynasty Tombs. The royal tomb complex is absolutely HUGE, with the central temple and courtyard surrounded by miles of fields that have sculptures arranged in various places. Exploring the entire grounds in one day is almost impossible because of how large the complex is. Current day North Korea is located within the boundaries of the historical Goguryeo kingdom, with Pyongyang as the capital of both. It seems like Korea's fate in history was meant to be fractured into different warring kingdoms. Even at the peak of the mighty Goguryeo, the southern part of the peninsula is still ruled by the Silla, a rival kingdom allied with Imperial China who would eventually overthrow Goguryeo and place the peninsula back under the rule of Imperial China. Only the Joseon Dynasty managed to unify the entire peninsula under one kingdom and it did so at incredible and brutal cost.
My favorite song out of this playlist. I've been working on a drawing for it. Probably make it into a silkscreen so I can send you one! Let me know if you'd like that. Thanks for taking a risk to bring us back all of this culture to share. I appreciate that greatly.
It is so ironic that a country that has banned Christmas celebrations produces songs that are more appropriate for the holiday season than western Christmas songs. Many North Korean songs have very solemn Christmas atmospheres to them.
SO BEAUTIFUL AND ETHEREAL 😩💖❤️🔥🌨️🌨️🌨️🏔️❄️💕

Thank you much! Indeed I'd love to see what you come up with, please do share when ready! :)
Yeah i do have some more footage, i was gonna put together a 'deleted scenes' kind of video just haven't had time, i'll try to get to it soon.
Etherium Sky Films & Media I'd love to see that!
I'd like to go back someday, but not sure if they'd let me in now after i released the film
Etherium Sky Films & Media they should if not try "Young Pioneer Tours" they allow all filming and the guides are very good especially miss Kim
Etherium Sky Films & Media they will even let you walk around with them around Pyongyang that's if your good at negotiating
No shit, your film was ridiculously biased against the DPRK and did nothing but promote American propaganda.

Makes me want to write Christmas lyrics for it. I already wrote Good Friday lyrics for 'Where are you, dear General'.
보천보전자악단 눈송이 내리는 밤하늘?? 솔까 부칸 노래는 축지법 노래랑 반갑습니다밖에 모름 얘네 83년도에 만들어진 악단인데 계속 83년도 수준이다 애당초 김씨조선체제에서 세련된 노래를 바라는게 무리겠지
