Last year, entrepreneur Jacob Laukaitis visited North Korea on a 7-day stritctly guided tour. This year, he traveled to South Korea on a mission to compare life in the two countries.
What he encountered was a stark real-life picture of the way the two nations live daily life on vastly different planes: A video summary of Laukaitis’s two trips shows people playing, hiking, laughing and picnicking in the South, interspersed with footage of synchronized marches and empty streets in the northern hermit kingdom.
The contrast was gut-wrenching, Laukaitis said.
“Why was the whole power in the North concentrated in one person’s hands … whereas in the South people had the power to elect their own leaders?” he asks in the video.
