Height difference one of the most fascinating
Differences between those in North and South Korea is their height difference some have blamed the short stature of North Koreans on genetics
But that has proven to be foss
Researchers have concluded that there isn't a big difference between the populations of those in the north and those in the south
So genetics play a very small factor
So what's the real reason why North Korean adults and children are much shorter than their neighbors in the south?
Well it all comes to their diet and lack thereof the amount of food a child receives
While growing up can impact how tall they are as an adult since North Koreans are?
constantly facing crop shortages and a lack of food
it's no surprise that their children and adults are a lot tinier a professor at the
University in seoul has studied the heights of North Korean refugees who cross the border into South Korea and the facts were alarming in
Total North Korean Men are about 1.2
23.1 inches shorter than their South Korean counterparts and the difference between North and South Korean Children is just as shocking
Preschool boys are 1.6. Inches shorter in North Korea While North Korea preschool girls are 1.2. Inches shorter on average
Holidays South Koreans share a few holidays with the people in the north including New Year's day and liberation day
But that's where the similarities end South Koreans have way more national and observed holidays and they are also allowed to observe any
Religious holiday they choose but in North Korea most of their recognized holidays are dedicated to the state's past and present leaders
They don't celebrate thanksgiving and they don't celebrate Christmas either
Instead December 24th is a holiday dedicated to the birth of Kim jong seok the deceased mother of Kim Jong-IL and on December
27th North Koreans are given the day off to celebrate
Constitution day
So why does the government?
Restrict which holidays can be observed in the North well it all comes down to control the North Korean government
Goes to great lengths to keep information about their religion and holidays a secret from its people this is due to the government
blaming underground churches for helping
20,000 North Koreans Escape to China to keep their people under their control they cut off access to
Religions that may encourage North Koreans to seek a better way of life
salmon Salmon is described as an extreme shortage of food and it's a serious problem that has plagued the Northern state for decades in the
90s a devastating famine crisis swept the North and it was
exasperated by a loss of support from the soviet Union and the collapse of the agriculture industry
hundreds of thousands of North Koreans if not more
Starved as a result the people of the North were even forbidden from even seeing the word hunger
So instead they were left to starve in silence in South Korea things are much different
It's almost like night and day in the south
They are aware of the struggle against
malnutrition and Hunger especially
After their state was rocked by world war two and the Korean war in order to fight against the threat of hunger
Taking lives of people worldwide South Korea goes out of its way to join
initiatives that fight famine they even join the zero hunger challenge on a quest to end world hunger in
Comparison the North's government has warned its people that the possibility of another bout of salmon is a strong possibility
Living life in Fear of being starved is never the way anyone should have to live
military in
2015 North Korea made it Mandatory that all women between the ages of 17 and 20 must serve in their military
The state had a plan to strengthen the Nation's armed forces
And they felt the best way to do so was to require Wim
To enlist in the North the freedom to choose their own life path is stripped away from them and their lives are out of their
Own control, but in the south things are much more different men in South Korea are required to serve
But women aren't however in 2010 things changed for women in the Southern state an attack by North Korea
Prompted many South Korean women to sign up for the seoul armed forces in droves Data revealed that over
10,000 seven women had enlisted in the army navy and Marine Corps at an all-time high these women are also allowed to be leaders in
the Armed Forces
And there are some who serve as generals in the military and many others who have senior military ranks South Korean women are more determined
Than ever to protect their state from North Korea and other enemies at all costs
But the huge difference is they have the freedom to choose whether or not they want to enlist while those in the North don't have
the same Luxury
Devotion to their leaders the people of the south have the right to protest March and Rally
Against anything that goes against their religious or political beliefs for example in 2016 an estimated
500,000 to 1.5 million South Koreans took to the streets of central seoul to demand their president be impeached after six weeks of
Protests their words were heard loud and clear and the leader of the state was finally out stood
But something like this would never ever happen in North Korea to start they aren't even allowed to speak harshly about their leader Kim jong-un
They're expected to devote their entire lives to him and treat him as a God when his father Kim Jong-Il passed away
mourners took to the streets to show their grief although the leader had treated them poorly with his strict Rules and
Famine that destroyed their lives they were forced to put on a staged display of grief
They are forced to have allegiance towards the entire Kim family no matter how they may have ruined their lives
many of those in the North have portraits of both Kim's hanging in their homes and public buildings and
Their leaders birthdays are two of the most important holidays that are celebrated in the state
They're not even allowed to make jokes at their leaders expense something a few military members found out the hard way in April
2016 members of North Korea's
Army Mocked Kim jong-un and compared him to a kindergartner and guess what they were immediately placed under arrest
music and entertainment
Many of those in the North have no idea. What's going on in the entertainment industry outside of their little bubbles
North Korea Creates Zone TV programs and propaganda that its citizens are forced to watch
Listening to the radio and freely browsing the internet are two
Luxuries those in the North Aren't free to have radio signals are jammed and the airwaves place state-approved messages at all times
These recordings blast through every home and business
And are impossible to turn off fax machines are illegal and computers have to be registered with the police before they are used in order
To have access to the outside world of entertainment many
North Koreans have resorted to smuggling in soap operas and
Television shows the North Korean government is desperate to stop the smuggling and the spreading of these entertainment outlets
Because they're afraid it could encourage North Koreans to finally fight back and start anti-government
Protests programs from South Korea including shows called bad housewife and Red Bean bread have slowly
infiltrated the Northern people's lives and they just can't get enough of it while South Koreans can watch various programs and
Listen to Any music that their heart desires those in the North are living a life full of restrictions
And insane rules the Northern government does give their people the luxury of going to movie theaters to enjoy a film
but like most things in North Korea this luxury sounds more like a nightmare the theaters only show films that are created and produced by
The government and just as you suspected all the movies that are shown are dedicated to the Kim family
Poverty living in North Korea means you're likely to be one of the many people who is living in Extreme poverty in 2010

All which are linked to poverty in the north the people live on a diet that consists primarily of corn and Kimchi because that's all
They can really afford many of them
Don't even have access to any other types of food and they don't have fuel to allow them to have functioning cooking appliances
But those in the North don't understand how horrible their lives really are they've been forced to read
propaganda that depicts the North as superior and the south as a state who has an issue with
Poverty and of course the truth is the complete opposite Northerners are battling poor living condition and the malnutrition
Epidemic has led to a devastating
Tuberculosis epidemic the government Denies, there's a problem, and they continue to claim that there's free healthcare for everyone in the north
But the main issue is many Northerners are so poor
They can't even afford to purchase the expensive medicine that will help cure their diseases and ailments
