Sure it looks dorky as fuck but it is also really adorable. And good to see such big newly build housing projects. Shows how the country is also progressing beyond some dumbass western propaganda.
North Korea: Builds normal average apartment building you can see in any country in the world. Then let a long time public worker have one as a reward and for some good press.
It seems the video was released eight months ago, and most likely filmed much earlier so it could probably be assumed that Covid was and still is a concern. The people we see are probably just being extra cautious, especially on public transport. That doesn’t feel like to much of a stretch as its already very common for people in Asian countries to wear masks in public for a variety or reasons.
They probably took them off in the apartment as I assume the host and bus driver were tested prior to filming, and they’re just making production easier.
How can you hate videos like this lol

Westerners: FAKE! PROPAGANDA! THEY’RE EMPTY SHELLS! POTEMKIN VILLAGE! ACTORS!
I’m confused why they are wearing masks outdoors, but put them on when they enter the apartment. Surely it’s not air pollution?
