I have been on the USS Pueblo. When I was in North Korea, this was one of the many military monuments that foreign visitors were required to tour when visiting the country. The guides who took us on this boat made sure to emphasize how this was an armed warship that was committing an act of international aggression and violating a sovereign nation's borders, and which was captured by an heroic North Korean military mission.

What nationality are you and when did you visit N. Korea?


I visited in 2011 as a South African citizen. I'm now an American citizen.

I guess NK is selecting their guides/minders to show visitors NK in the best possible light.


Aside from South Korea, which may not be prohibited, I don't think there were any nationalities that couldn't visit, until a Sept 2017 US State Department travel ban on US citizens. The company I went with in 2013 is respecting the ban, but I'm not sure if or how it would actually be enforced.
