Just because it isn’t kitschy and filled with over-the-top praise of the Dear Leader doesn’t mean it isn’t orchestrated. I think it is a mistake to believe the DPRK isn’t capable of producing sophisticated social media like this.

The way DPRK is described... It's really hard to humanize the people that live there. The videos were the first glimpse I've had of what North Korea looks like without a gray lens filter. Sure, it's manufactured, but that's why I said it's a /different/ answer to the question.
