Popular Youtuber Creates Repulsive Propaganda Music Video For North Korea

人气播客因拍朝鲜视频被多家主流媒体批评

William Turton



I’ve seen a lot of disgusting things in my years on the internet, but this video takes the cake.

我在网上这些年看到很多恶心的东西，但这个视频绝对是最恶心的。

A popular Youtuber named Louis Cole, whose channel has nearly 2 million subscriptions, ended his trip to North Korea by creating a music video called “Sufin In The DPRK.” This isn’t some biting political commentary that touches on the atrocities carried out by the North Korean dictatorship, but rather a fun, lighthearted video about “bringing our wold together.”

拥有近200万订阅量的人气Youtube视频作者Louis Cole, 做了一个音乐视频“朝鲜的冲浪.” 这视频并不是个尖刻的政治评论视频，讨论朝鲜独裁者的暴行。而是一个好玩的，轻快的关于“让世界在一起”的视频。

Cole has already been hit with criticism for the lighthearted and intellectually dishonest “adventure videos” he’s posted on YouTube while on his state-organized tour of North Korea. In one video description, Cole writes “I’m trying to focus on positive things in the country and combat the purely negative image we see in the Media.”

Cole 已经因为在朝鲜的组织旅游中上传到YouTube上的愉快但不诚实的“探险视频”而广受批评。在一个视频描述中，Cole 写到“我”只是更看重那个国家积极的事情，而非我们总是在媒体中看到的消极图片。

In case you needed a reminder, North Korea is a country run by a dictatorship that strikes fear into its citizens by demanding compliance. North Korean citizens are ravaged by poverty and hunger, and if you were to escape North Korea, your family and friends would be sent to a hard labor camp for decades. These are just a few of the daily crimes against humanity that are carried out by the North Korean dictatorship. It feels weird to repeat this, because everyone already knows about the intense pain and suffering of the North Korean people and the atrocities regularly carried out by the North Korean government, but Cole doesn’t seem to get it.

在此还是提醒读者，朝鲜是个由独裁者统治的国家，用恐惧控制人民。朝鲜被贫穷和饥饿蹂躏着，如果你想逃离朝鲜，你的家人和朋友会被送到劳动营呆几十年。这些只是朝鲜独裁者每天都会犯下的罪行的一个小缩影。再次重复说明确实让人感到奇怪，因为人人都知道朝鲜人民正受到巨大的痛苦，以及朝鲜政府不断实施的暴行。但好像Cole 还不知道。

For whatever reason, Cole doesn’t seem to realize that his tour of North Korea, just like all other tours of the country, is staged and set up to appear as if the country is thriving and prosperous. Cole seems to think that by not mentioning these atrocities, or the hunger ravaging the country, and by making a cheery video hanging out with his new North Korean friends, that he’ll be able to help bridge some global divide. That, of course, is delusional—but we hope Cole enjoys the YouTube ad revenue!

不论是因为什么原因。Cole 似乎没有意识到他的朝鲜之旅，和他到其他国家的旅行一样，就是一个表演，让朝鲜看上去好像很繁荣昌盛。Cole 好像认为没有提及那些暴行，那些饥饿，和他新交的朝鲜朋友做的一个欢乐的视频，可以帮助人们化解隔阂。当然，这只是妄想---但我们希望Cole 的视频能有好的广告收入。

I don’t think people are upset with him trying to share a positive message (at least I’m not...). I understand there are probably a lot of people in North Korea happy with their lives, and it’s not against the law for them to have fun.
The issue is that he does not discuss the negative issues the people of North Korea face on a daily basis. By doing that, you create an image of North Korea that’s “not so bad”, and that is what the public sees. Over time, as that image gets shared more and more, you errode the public awareness of North Korean plight. When someone references a story of North Korean civil rights violations, or prisoners, or executions...someone else will reference this video and say “looks like they are just fine”.
If you share a half-story, you are doing damage to the other half. And the more it’s shared, the more clicks you get, the more significant the damage.

我不觉得人们因为他分享了正面信息而指责他（至少我不...）我知道可能朝鲜有很多人过得很好很开心，他们活得好也没犯法。
问题是播主不放朝鲜每天都要面对的负面问题。从而，播主拍的朝鲜形象“没那么坏”，这也是大家看视频看到的。随着时间的推移，视频的传播，你腐蚀了人们对朝鲜困境的认知。当有人再说朝鲜公民权利受侵犯，或者被迫入狱，被执行死刑的时候...有人就可能拿这个视频说“看啦，他们还好呀”
如果你只分享半个故事，你在损坏另一半事实，分享的越多，点击的越多，损坏越大。

What a totally disgusting individual. Is he retarded or something? Does he honestly believe that all the atrocities that are reported about North Korea are “media propaganda?”
North Korea deserves no praise, just the combined spite and condemnation of the world. It’s a despicable country run by a dictator that would have made Hitler proud.

真是个恶心的人呀，他是白痴吗？他认为朝鲜的所有暴行都是“媒体宣传？”朝鲜不应该得到任何表扬，只应该得到世界的憎恶和谴责。它是个独裁者统治的卑劣国家，希特勒都会觉得好。

He only cares about views and $. That’s the way with a lot of Youtubers. There are some that I used to watch before they hit it big, then once they realized what they got, they changed and became all promotional and all about $ and views. I’ll quit watching them, find other up-and-coming vloggers, and the same thing happens again. The ones who aren’t into being promotional end up leaving Youtube or being less active on it, which is ironic because they are the ones I would prefer to watch.

因为他只在乎点击量和$，Youtube上很多视频主都这样，他们成名前我会看，只要他们成名了。他们就会引来推广，然后就是关于$和浏览量了。然后我不再看了，再去找新的视频播主的视频，接着同样的事情发生。没有得到推广的会离开，非常讽刺，因为他们的视频才是我想看的。

I have no idea who this person is, and haven’t watched any of his videos, so forgive me if this question seems silly.
Has he left DPRK yet? Is it possible that these videos are being uploaded and were made while he was still in the country where posting anything other than the positive propaganda pieces while still inside the borders would endanger his life and freedom? The Supreme Leader doesn’t like it when people say bad things about him and his country and those who do, have a habit of disappearing.
Maybe he’ll post a “real” video about his experience there once he’s home and free?

我不认识这个播主，还没有怎么看他的视频，如果我的问题傻原谅我。
他离开朝鲜了吗？有没有可能是因为他在那个国家里面，所以只能传正面的东西，因为最高领袖不喜欢别人说他和他的国家的坏话，否则会威胁别人的生命，自由，让别人消失。
也许一旦回家，自由了以后，他会传一个“真的”视频。

Does the world really need some asshole, privileged, dude-bro’s opinion on conditions in the DPRK? I mean, conditions there are fairly well-documented by people who knew what they were doing. Further, visiting the DPRK for any reason other than to document their atrocities (like, for example, filming a travelogue with a fucking surfing video) is tacit acceptance and condones the DPRK’s inhumane, unconscionable policies and treatment of their people. Fuck this guy with his fucking surfboard. He deserves all of the criticism he gets, and more.

也许一旦回家，自由了以后，他会传一个“真的”视频。
难道这个世界真的需要一些蠢货，自以为是，花花傻子对朝鲜的观点？我是说，朝鲜什么样，已经被有自知之明的人很好的记录过了。而且，因为任何理由参观朝鲜但不记录他们的暴行（比如做一个旅行类的傻逼冲浪视频）就是对朝鲜残忍，乱治的默许与纵容。干死这个傻逼和他的冲浪板。所有的批评罪有应得，应该有更多。

I watched that video, and was confused. He shows these shots of a quite large city, among other places (e.g. a water park) and yet there are so few people out and about. Where are all the people? It is just so offsetting.

我看了视频，很奇怪。场景中有很多大城市的镜头，但人却很少。人们都去哪了？真是反差大。

well there are only so many actors you can “hire” (I doubt they’re paid... they just get special treatment, like not going to jail for no reason, or something). Yes, those people you see in the streets (at least where the tourists are allowed) are almost all actors, to make the country look better than it is. And also because people have better shit to do than going to water parks, like, you know, finding your next meal.

嗯，你可以“雇佣”很多演员（我猜他们没工资...只有些特殊招待，比如不用没事就进监狱）。那些你能在街上看到的人（至少在游客可以去的地方）都是演员，让那个国家看上去好一些。而且那些人相比去水公园，他们有更好的事情去做，比如，找找下餐饭。

Well, they’re busy off working in slave labor camps. Y’know cause of the whole evil totalitarian dictatorship thing going on. It’s more amusing how this youtubedouche can dance in the middle of a deserted road and not think that shit is fucked.

嗯，他们都在劳动营里面忙呢。正是因为整个邪恶的独裁专政，才让这个youtube播主不用去想傻逼事情，搞笑的在街上跳舞。
