Staged Audience
In a country characterized by strict regulations on travel, an intriguing occurrence occurred during a World Cup match between North Korea and Brazil. Despite the general travel restrictions, the stands were filled with apparent North Korean fans. However, this seemingly incongruous display has a different backstory.
Rumors circulated that the spectators were not genuine North Korean citizens, but Chinese actors handpicked for the role. These individuals were purportedly sent to create the illusion of genuine local support, suggesting that the leader did not relax travel constraints for this event.
