How much do we know about North Korea?
It鈥檚 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鈥檚 super secretive and it鈥檚 really difficult to actually know what鈥檚 going on. Hyunjung Kim from 大象传媒 Korean and our Seoul Correspondent Jean Mackenzie help us get to grips with what鈥檚 going on inside North Korea. We鈥檒l also debunk some common myths.
