Edit: By the way, if you look this up, you'll still see popular media lending a lot of credence to this claim, because no lie is too pathetic to be asserted about the DPRK today.

I was gonna say they still do push this claim even today. Plenty of trashy defector shows in the ROK will occasionally talk like they're discussing the old monarchy in regards to the DPRK in the sense they're saying every Kim is some kind of illegitimate pretender to the throne and keeps the kingdom together with a web of lies that would unravel if the people knew their great leader was a descended from some peasant thief and not the brave warlord he stole the name from.

Although that isn't as popular as making defectors eat food and react to foreign shit like KFC, Texan BBQ, or burgers or some shit. Or shit like how they love kpop music and that kids who listen to it will get their entire family thrown in prison for 40 years when they're caught listening to it.

You know, outrageous claims that the thing you like is illegal and will get you killed over there so you should be happier here kind of shit.

At least from my understanding those kinds of shows aren't as popular as they were 10+ years ago.

Lol did nobody notice when some other guy shows up and starts to act like their war hero friend?

A modern tank? Might even be using an xbox controller. If this was a ww2 tank? Then the controls would be the most ridiculous bs you would have ever seen.

North Korea so dystopian, only 9 of those tanks are real. The rest are card board on top of chunks of Dear Leader's swiss cheese stash.
