Hosts Sug Shin and Dan Chung explore the parallels of North Korea and the 1998 movie "The Truman Show." Like the movie, there have been several attempts at revealing the truth to North Korean citizens, the hosts discuss some of these attempts. Dan also describes a new, creative method that North Korean refugees in South Korea and hack the seemingly impenetrable, closed phone system of North Korea. The hosts also talk about the dramatic scene in 2017 at the Demilitarized Zone in which a North Korean soldier attempts to cross the border into South Korea and gets shot several times doing so. They also discuss the incredible work of Jacob Bogle, a man who "spied" on North Korea by using Google Earth.
