This lecture shares the experiences of a journalist who visited North Korea 25 times over 20 years of exceptional inter-Korean exchanges. During this time, North Koreans met South Koreans—viewed as enemies—and engaged in business, sharing common interests. Contact with the outside world sometimes shocked and confused the North Korean people, but it was also seen as an opportunity for prosperity and hope. We will uncover unknown aspects of North Korean society and explore its potential for change.
