Ionuț Lenghel reached the border of China with North Korea and saw with his eyes and North Koreans’ houses. The filmed images are bleak. North Korea is a gray -like gray, the people’s houses are poor, and the soldiers are ubiquitous. Nothing surprising keeping up with it is a state with a remarkable repressive device placed in the service of his leader, Kim Jong Un, but also to initiate his neighbors, especially more prosperous South Korea.
In fact, between the two countries resulting from the fracture of the old Korean state there is no peace treaty, decades since the end of the war, but only an armistice.
Vlogger Ionuț Lenghel is among those who have had the opportunity to see with their eyes a very small part of this state, but representative for the conditions in which the subjects of the dictator Kim Jong are live.
He filmed from China’s border with North Korea. In opposition to China, a country that has developed incredibly in the last 20 years, North Korea still seems in the Middle Ages.
“Chaos. We ask, trucks come from there. Wait that I passed GoPro (…) So this bridge doesn’t work anymore, only pedestrians go on it. And the other is the connection bridge with North Korea. And as you see the trucks come, I guess there are Chinese trucks. I come from downloading. China and North Korea trade in the end. As far as I understood, it would work North Koreans, here at North Korean restaurants ”Ionuț started the adventure on the border between the two states.
How would it escape from North Korea
Further, once the Great Chinese Wall arrives, he claims that it seem very hard for someone to flee to North Korea to China.
“I came here with a taxi, on the right sideas it came, it was North Korea. And I was still looking there, I was inspecting. But I think I can escape. I think I could escape. We’ll get back to that area and show you. It is a barbed wire. I didn’t see snipers. I haven’t seen soldiers. I don’t know if it’s a minced area. I think I could escape. I say so“He said.
Ionuț did not notice in a particular area any North Korean shooter who would supervise the border through the rear, although they are probably only well camouflaged.
“There I do not think they have snipers. Only go quickly … they come back until they wake up, that they are soldiers. They have no time for reaction, they have no instant. Ionuț Lenghel said.
Then, after returning to the hotel and ate in a restaurant, Lenghel appealed to the services of a company for a river that marks the border between the two countries, North Korea and China. But before that he was tormented with the food from the Chinese rest and ended up looking for American fast food so as not to stay hungry.
The next day, he saw the North Korean part of the boat.
“Look, bicyclists. Do you see them? North Korean cyclists, brother. You see the fences? Mum! Well, but they bring you pretty close. We are about 30 meters. So look at the houses. Well, what houses … you see I’m pretty old. That no one is, ” he said.

Later it identified some soldiers and saw machine guns. “There I think I’m a machine guns, you see? Beyond the houses. But I don’t know who lives. Is the soldiers or normal people? There I push the bicycles on the hill. It’s interesting here. Good. Mom. I said, if I took a ski jet. I would go where there are no wires. It is a northern Korean bridge and a bicycle.”, The Romanian was surprised.
Further, some of the North Koreans even left the impression that they are doing them with their hand. In the meantime, others, more shy, were scared.
“Come on, do with your hand. These are still doing my hand on the ship. My mother’s what is this, I really can’t believe. Mom Mia, I can’t believe, brother. But I leave the ski.
Ionuț explained.
