Despite its nickname, the Hermit Kingdom, North Korea has not been completely disconnected from the modern world!
The country launched a 3G network for foreigners in 2013. Nowadays, many users frequently upload photos on Instagram depicting life in the secretive country. Many are tour guides who are allowed to visit the country frequently, while others live there as journalists or teachers.
Let's look at some of the Instagrammers showing us North Korea:
