If you want North Korean food, but not run by the North Korean government with the weird slavery shit, there's numerous Korean restaurants north of North Korea in Yanbian, Jilin/Changchun, etc. Just regular restaurants, mostly run by Chinese that are ethnically Korean.

Easier to just go to any of them in an actual Korea in Seoul.

Maybe? I dunno

There's iirc <100k North Korean in South Korea, and >>100k in China, mostly Jilin province

More concentrated especially if they are mostly in Seoul

Outside of Yanbian maybe yea. There's like 600,000 Korean in Yanbian alone, a huge chunk of which are North Korean.

There are other reasons to avoid like https://x.com/Sino_Market/status/1810508441234067465 / https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3269808/chi...

Oh yea for sure, you get way better food safety in SK.

Perhaps a better term to differentiate it from regime-run ones -- "Ethically North Korean Restaurants"?

Are North and South Korea ethnically distinct?

Probably not in any meaningful way, but I would agree the above comment they are ethically distinct.

Yes. Why would they not be?
