360-video of Pyongyang shows a surprisingly beautiful side of North Korea


“Colorful” is a word I never thought I would use to describe North Korea.
Probably many of us, if asked to suddenly envision North Korea, picture a burnt-out hellscape not unlike Bartertown from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. In fact, I had a compelling theory that Kim Jong-nam was assassinated because of the stranglehold he put on the region with his vast underground methane-producing pig sty.
So imagine my surprise upon viewing the recently posted the video World’s First Aerial 360 Video Over North Korea 2017 on YouTube. The video takes us on a riverside flight of Pyongyang and all of the lush green spaces and colorful skyscrapers you probably wouldn’t expect to find there.
This 12-minute video is shot in 360 degrees, meaning you can pan around freely as the plane flies along.
