Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.

But at the same time, currently, there is no reason to go to NK other than to just say that you have.

I'd personally never go but there are people who do war zone tourism. I could see why a person would want to experience a full on propaganda tour made by an totalitarian regime with all those cold war era propaganda art.

There's a reason to go there other than to say you have, but it's not worth the risk for most people IMO.
