Disrespecting Officials in North Korea

In North Korea, depicting officials negatively is strictly forbidden. A photo capturing a man asleep at a Christian service could be seen as disrespectful, potentially leading to severe consequences for him due to his unprofessional posture.

The setting raises questions about the type of church and whether it’s open to locals or tourists. North Korea’s restrictions make the church’s accessibility intriguing, hinting at a complex blend of religion and governance.
