North Korea under the microscope

Nuclear threats, missile tests, restrictions on the entry of foreigners and the movement of people, human rights violations, the chronic lack of information, food and health crises, and uncertainty about Kim Jong Un’s health and the continuity of leadership are usual issues when we talk about North Korea.
What we know, however, is limited.
Sources are not always independent and it is not easy to access reliable content in Spanish. This situation worsened after the pandemic: North Korea was one of the first countries to close its borders in January 2020 and since then, the presence of foreigners in the country has been reduced to a minimum.
To try to fill this void, we put North Korea under the microscope: here you can find exclusive content, never-before-seen photos taken in the country, and articles from the world's most renowned human rights organizations and specialized media sources.
