Despite all the dire news about famine and all, the people in the video mostly look quite "normal" and healthy. Except like they just stepped out from a time machine...

 

I guess those people in the cities, as long as they toe the line and submit to the authority, they will have a decent job, enough pay for a decent lifestyle (since they have few luxuries anyway), and a normal life.

 

The nightmare only starts if they step out of line...

North Korea is a nation with guided missiles but misguided men. *sigh*
