North Korea doesn't have a great history with respect to foreign "guests"[1].
Here's a choice quote:
>The four lived together in a two-bedroom house outside of Pyongyang, where they were forced to study the writings of then-leader Kim Il Sung and were subject to regular beatings. They were also featured prominently in propaganda magazines and movies.

- beaeglebeachh 3y agoTotally agree, but I'll point out they entered as technically enemy combatants, not with a visa. And dresnok said the opposite and retired fat and with alcohol cirrhotic liver and a nice stolen wife and downtown apartment, which is far more than he would've got in USA as such a lazy, stupid, criminal that he was. He even become a local celebrity as a movie star playing as a white devil.
- ch4s3 3y agoIt’s not like people are regularly entering as anything other than defectors and the one guys wife said she was tricked into going there and held against her will.
- beaeglebeachh 3y agoYes "stolen" wife. Great for dresnok as his worst fear was broken homes (he came from one and experienced divorce) so the held against will was a huge selling point for him. From watching docs in his final days I sincerely believe the stolen wife who couldn't divorce was his biggest selling point in staying.
