How much do we know about North Korea?
It’s a super secretive country, so what's really going on?
North Korea has carried out a record number of weapons tests this year. At the end of August it said it fired two short-range tactical ballistic missiles to simulate what a nuclear attack on South Korea would be like.
We hear about missile tests from there regularly but what do we actually know about the country itself?
It’s super secretive and it’s really difficult to actually know what’s going on. Hyunjung Kim from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Korean and our Seoul Correspondent Jean Mackenzie help us get to grips with what’s going on inside North Korea. We’ll also debunk some common myths.
