We’re delighted to have you here and appreciate your time exploring our website.
Since 2015, Explore DPRK has been dedicated to promoting genuine understanding and appreciation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Our mission is rooted in the belief that cultural exchange and accurate information are powerful tools to bridge divides and promote international friendship.
The DPRK is often subject to widespread misrepresentation in global narratives. Many of these portrayals arise from geopolitical agendas, misinformation campaigns, and reliance on unverifiable sources.
