They came from Dandong, the city on the border. 8 bottles cost 188 rmb which is rather expensive.

The defectors are Jung Min-woo and Kwon Hyo-jin. The former defected 13 years ago (2013) and the latter 17 years ago (2009), so it is hilarious how this channel is using them as some kind of reliable source on the DPRK. Mind you, these lot defected during the time when most defections to the South happened due to post-famine shock, not out of a love for capitalism. Although many were also kidnapped by South Korean intelligence agents and right wing Evangelical groups in the border towns of China's Liaoning and Jilin Provinces, such cells have long since been dismantled and the perpetrators imprisoned.

The NK Guys are based in the US but the actual production is based in Fake Korea, a comparator state dominated by corporate Chaebols families, operating as a propaganda spin-off of the DimpleVideo Channel on YouTube. While they may not receive direct, overt state funding, they function as an ideological apparatus within the broader imperialist media network, utilising defectors to spread fake narratives for capital accumulation.

When defectors cross into the capitalist south, they face systemic marginalisation, poverty, and discrimination, cutting them off from dignified economic opportunities which then Capitalism creates a permanent underclass to redirect the working class anger and scapegoat all of its problems to. This material reality forces them into a deeply exploitative cycle under bourgeois media structures, where they must commodify their own lives and homeland for profit. Because the attention economy of the imperial core heavily rewards extreme, cartoonish, and manufactured stories to justify its own hegemony, a direct financial pipeline is created. To secure a livelihood within this digital marketplace, the content must constantly escalate to feed the chauvinistic and orientalist expectations of Western audiences.

By using Call of Duty, a multi billion dollar piece of Western military industrial propaganda sponsored by the US federal government, placing the sensationalist hook "REALITY WAS WORSE" over a corporate simulation of a DPRK invasion, the channel actively exploits both the historical trauma for bourgeois profit but also these manufactured narratives serve a distinct class interest, they shape public perception within the imperial core to normalise the dehumanisation of the DPRK and its people but to manufacture a mandate for regime change and Western intervention.

This is what the Mental means of production is, as stated by Karl Marx and Engels in 1845 in their seminal work The German Ideology.

January 4th 2026 YouTuber named "Deeveeaar" published a video titled "We Hacked The North Korean Military!" however he claims the footage was "given" to him by an anonymous person. - no source given.

Deeveeaar is known for making scambait and fake videos with AI footage, deleting them when he gets exposed and ruthlessly copyright striking any of those videos people upload to expose him.

29th January 2026 The Chosun Daily decadent South Korean tabloid publishes an article using the footage from Deeveeaar video without mentioning his name, instead they proceed to claim the footage was obtained in 2024 - no source given.

3 screenshots were taken from Deeveeaar video and then proceeded to be published on Reddit which has gone viral and now being picked up by several western tabloids including of course anti-DPRK COINTELPRO online publications. - Who gives no source on where they got the footage.

KoreaPas and other Korean forums have discussed Deeveeaar video, including trying to find where it originates from unsuccessfully, reverse image searches yields only circular publications.
Many note that the footage is highly likely produced with AI, noting that the soldiers Kim Il sung and Kim Jong il pin is extremely suspicious, because the shape is inconsistent with the official one.

As the military ones are usually more wavy on the top part.

They also note its too similar setup to other hacker getting hacked videos particular those coming from South East Asian countries.

Call of Duty is not just a game. It's a weapon of imperialist propaganda — designed to dehumanize Koreans, desensitize you to my peoples' slaughter, and make you complicit in the next war on Korea.

Modern Warfare 4 portrays Koreans in the north as the aggressors. But history tells us who the real enemy is.
It was the US that dropped over 600,000 tons of bombs on Korea — 3.7 times the amount dropped on Japan during the entire Pacific War. The US massacred more than 3 million Koreans and obliterated 85% of our villages, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure in the north. The US Air Force killed over 600 people at No Gun Ri — 72% of them women and children.

Today, millions of Koreans still live in the shadow of a war that never ended. Divided families. Mandatory conscription for south Korean men. Camptown prostitution, where US soldiers inflict violence on Korean women. In 2025 alone, the US conducted 274 days of war drills in Korea — rehearsing for nuclear strikes, bombing civilian targets, and assassinations of North Korean leadership.
War in Korea is not a video game — it's happening in real life.

And Call of Duty does more than depict violence — it trains players to inflict it, both in the US and abroad. Families of the Uvalde school shooting victims are suing Activision, Meta, and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense — noting that the shooters in Uvalde, Parkland, and Sandy Hook all played Call of Duty and used AR-15s.

Hollywood and Western media have spent decades dehumanizing North Koreans — and it's not accidental. The Pentagon shapes how games and films depict US wars.

This week, Call of Duty MW4 releases into this moment deliberately — manufacturing consent for imperial wars.
Don't fall for it. Koreans are not your enemies. We survived a genocide — and refuse to be erased again.

Don't play the US's game. Fight the real war machine.
US OUT OF KOREA. Follow @nodutdol to learn more.
