9. Academia

If you’re looking to dive into academic research in North Korea, get ready for the following restrictions:

• You’ll have to make do with limited resources.
• No international research teams. North Korean academics will be your only colleagues.
• Academic articles (both humanities and sciences) have to include at least one quote from a member of the Kim family.

10. Kim’s PR

If you’re looking for a truly creative job in North Korea, or perhaps have some previous experience with PR, marketing, or even fiction writing, this might well be your dream job!

Your job would be to constantly work to improve Kim’s personal brand and support the strong standing of the past and present leaders of the country.

Your tasks, should you get the job, would include:

• Cover up for Kim Jong Un’s failing results from his school years in Switzerland. He is known to have been particularly bad at maths and sciences.
• Disclaim any rumors about Kim Jong Un’s plastic surgery that he allegedly got to resemble his grandfather Kim Il Sung.
• Work on texts for schools, such as “Kim Jong Un’s Revolutionary Activities”, which teaches kids essential life facts, such as the leader’s victory at a yachting race at the age of 9.

Discussion questions:

1. How different are North and South Korea from each other and from other Asian countries?
2. What do you know about the Korean War?
3. Why isn’t North Korea as rich and as advanced as South Korea?
4. What do you think North Korea will be like 50 years from now?
