An online advertisement by a North Korean travel company showing young Russians frolicking on a beach is going viral for its weird content. The Korean state-owned Korea International Travel Company recently launched a seemingly low-budget advertisement aimed at attracting tourists to the secretive East Asian nation. The video features young Russians enjoying sunny days in one of the world's most isolated countries.
After being shared on the Reddit thread 'r/northkorea', the video has sparked hundreds of comments highlighting its eerie qualities. It was reportedly filmed at Majeon beach in South Hamgyong Province, North Korea.
The ad begins with a young, blonde Russian woman pulling back the curtains of her hotel room to reveal a sun-soaked beach. After some light exercise and a stroll along the sand, she joins a group of fellow Russians for a beach day.
