Inside The Life Of A North Korean Teen

As in every nation and society on the planet, what social class you belong to often dictates your future, as well as how you spend your free time. This is no different in North Korea, however, the bridge between the haves and have-nots could span the San Francisco Bay. According to The Infographics Show (via YouTube), there is the Donju or the top 1% of North Korean society, and then, there is everyone else. The Infographics Show (via Youtube) also reported that the average wage in North Korea is only $10 a month. Therefore, if you happened to be born into the Donju you'll have access to resources no average citizen could ever own: a $400 smartphone, sip on $4 lattes, or even play video games on old consoles smuggled from out of the country. 

However, if you're not part of the Donju, life will look rather different. Most teens across North Korea have very little free time. From school and studying to helping pay the bills, most North Korean teens will have next to no time to themselves. If they can afford it, you might be able to find North Korean teens at movie theaters playing the same two movies on loop for months, or at the local swimming pools, bowling alleys, or even roller rinks. However, it is highly unlikely that the average teen would be able to go to these places often according to The Infographics Show.
