Okay, so I tried to buy a North Korean driver’s license online today. I started by searching online, trying to figure out the deal with getting a driver’s license over there.
From what I gathered, it seems like it’s not too crazy hard if you have a license from your home country. I found some information about taking your license from somewhere else and somehow transferring it over. And there’s something about a place called “hakwon”, which sounds like it makes the process way easier, especially if you’ve got time on your hands.
Then I stumbled upon this thing called an “International Driver’s Permit” (IDP). Apparently, you can use that and your regular license to drive in the US for a year. It sounds like the simplest way to drive legally in the States, but you gotta get it before you come over.

Anyway, I kept digging around and found some interviews with North Koreans talking about getting a driver’s license. There’s also some buzz about an oath you gotta take or something. I even found an app on the Google Play Store that supposedly helps with the process, but the name keeps changing, so that’s kind of sketchy.
So, after all that searching, I didn’t actually buy anything. The whole process seems kind of confusing and maybe a bit risky. I mean, it’s North Korea, you know? I’m not sure I wanna get mixed up in all that.
- First, I searched online for info.
- Then, I found out about transferring licenses and this “hakwon” thing.
- Next, I learned about the IDP.
- After that, I read some interviews and found a weird app.
- Finally, I decided not to buy anything because it seems too complicated and risky.
Honestly, it feels like a rabbit hole I don’t wanna go down. Maybe it’s just better to stick with the usual way of getting a driver’s license. But it is an interesting adventure.
