Want this question answered?
Whether or not the North Korean people support the Kim Dynasty is hotly debated by experts on North Korea. The North Korean government uses incredibly high levels of propaganda and totalitarian repression over the people and most North Korean citizens will say that they do support the Kim Dynasty. However, the debate comes from whether or not (1) North Koreans are genuinely brainwashed into believing the propaganda or (2) North Koreans oppose the Kim Dynasty but will not state their true beliefs because they do not want to be tortured for speaking out against the regime.
North Korea controls its citizens through extensive surveillance, propaganda, strict censorship, forced labor camps, and severe consequences for dissent or opposition. The government limits access to information from the outside world, promotes loyalty to the ruling Kim dynasty, and enforces obedience through fear and intimidation.
North Korea uses propaganda to control its population and maintain the rule of the Kim dynasty by promoting a specific ideology and suppressing dissent. Propaganda is a powerful tool to shape public opinion, create nationalistic fervor, and isolate the country from external influences.
In North Korea, the government uses propaganda to promote the cult of personality around the ruling Kim family, glorify the state ideology of Juche, demonize external threats, and portray the country as a utopia to its citizens. This propaganda is pervasive in everyday life through state-controlled media, education, and public events.
North Korea appears desolate because the citizens are so isolated from the rest of the world. The government of North Korea does not allow much interaction between those people and the world.

Stop listening to North Korean propaganda!
Yes, people in North Korea can watch TV, but the content is heavily controlled by the government. The main source of TV programming is the state-owned Korean Central Television (KCTV), which broadcasts propaganda and government-approved content. Access to foreign TV channels or internet streaming services is restricted, and citizens are only allowed to watch approved programming.
North Korea wants its citizens to know as little as possible about the outside world, especially any knowledge that people outside the country have better lives.
YES. North Korea has a very infamous and oppressive government.
Nil it is just propaganda
The Peace Village in North Korea, called the Propaganda Village by South Korean and Western observers, is a small village with brightly painted buildings and a large North Korean flag within the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea. As a result, South Koreans have argued that the town is created primarily with the purpose of propagandizing the situation in North Korea. Most observers doubt that the town is even occupied by anything more than a government-paid caretaker force.
