North Korea🇰🇵Jumping in wave pools, what is real?

Probably the most fun part was the wave pool, where a small group of foreigners introduced the concept of making noise when you’re having fun. Within minutes, the normally silent Koreans were jumping and shouting with every wave. One boy happily held my arm and showed it to his friends as a big trophy. A few waves later, it was a jumping grandma who attached herself to my arm. But after two hours of useless fun, you start to wonder how this perfect park was built and which Koreans are allowed or able to go there. For example, Koreans require a permit to enter the capital. Just imagine if people born in Den Bosch were denied access to Amsterdam. And why is it that we are only presented with these perfect places? Are we supposed to believe that Korea actually belongs to the G-7 and that the famine, as described in Western newspapers, is a made-up story?
