Under Western eyes

Mysterious and unexplored: DPRK is attracting more visitors from the West

Despite the Western media's unflattering portrayal of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a growing number of Westerners are applying to visit the country to see things with their own eyes.

Even the thought of government-guided tours doesn't seem to dampen their enthusiasm; instead the number of foreigners making the trip to the DPRK is rising as tourists look to explore the country free from the fog of propaganda.
