North Korea Loves a Good Manbang

[Pharrell Williams]

North Korea has launched its own version of Netflix - and it's called 'Manbang'.

The television-on-demand channel translates as "everywhere" and is available via the state-run internet, according to NK News.

Much like Western streaming services, people with access can watch movies and TV shows whenever they want.

However, it looks like our North Korean friends won't be able to enjoy the likes of Strange Things or House of Cards.

Instead Manbang can be used to "replay documentary films about the leadership and learn Russian and English languages".

It's also offering live streaming access to five TV networks, including North Korea's state broadcaster KCTV.

It's questionable whether many people will actually be able to use the service though.

Theres really only so many sounds human vocal cords can make, that and the english alphabet being very limited leads to these weird sounding words

I used to think Ip Man was a nickname. The guys name is actually Ip Man.

Think of all the english words that probably have a stupid, filthy, or offensive meaning when pronounced in other languages.

This man, supposedly an english teacher in korea, encounters the korean word "niga" for the first time.

The elderly man reportedly said "니가 여기 앉아" (a sign of consideration) ("You can sit here" = Niga Yuh gi anja"), but not knowing Korean, the man in question interpreted "니가" as "*****" which led to his violent outburst.

This man, supposedly an english teacher in korea, encounters the korean word "niga" for the first time. The man was actually offering him his seat I believe.
