What if they created their own version of Godzilla — a giant iron-eating monster that leads a peasant revolution?This is the bizarre, wildly imaginative, and heavily propagandistic world of North Korean science fiction.In this episode of My Dark Path, host MF Thomas explores the surprising stories, books, and films created under the Kim regime — from the thrilling asteroid-mining epic Course No. 651 to Pulgasari (North Korea’s homegrown kaiju classic), children’s propaganda tales, robots, space battles, and how Kim Jong-il personally sparked a sci-fi boom to shape the future.Timestamps:0:00 – Course No. 651: North Korea’s Plan to Create a Second Moon4:05 – Welcome to My Dark Path7:10 – The Division of Korea & the Birth of the DPRK12:55 – Socialist Realism and the Rise of North Korean Sci-Fi18:40 – Kim Jong-il’s 1988 Speech That Sparked a Sci-Fi Boom24:15 – Robots, Propaganda & Anti-American Themes29:50 – Social Science Fiction & the Politics of NK Sci-Fi35:10 – Children’s Sci-Fi: Brainwashing the Next Generation40:05 – Pulgasari: North Korea’s Insane Homegrown Godzilla43:35 – Final Thoughts: What North Korean Sci-Fi RevealsIf you love weird history, propaganda deep-dives, and stories that sound too crazy to be true, this episode is for you.👍 Like the video if you learned something new!💬 Comment below: What surprised you most about North Korean sci-fi?👉 Subscribe and hit the bell for more dark, fascinating stories every week from history, science, and the paranormal.For all references and music, visit https://www.mydarkpath.com/59-untold-stories-of-north-korean-science-fictionBuy MF Thomas' novels on Amazon.
