This article likely needs updating. Also, I couldn't come up with a good heading for the last two paragraphs. Please edit to clarify and organize this article. Thanks! User:Leena ( talk) 09:35, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
This entire article was clearly written by DPRK apologists. I don't even know where to begin with fixing this monstrosity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.39.23.117 ( talk) 18:34, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
"Women in North Korea are supposed to devote eight hours a day...to study (presumably, the study of Juche and Kim Il Sungism)" Does the part of this statement inside parenthesis have any evidence to back it or is it just pure conjecture? From a practical standpoint, the government needs to have skilled farmers, engineers and other people able to support the country's infrastructure; if this statement were true there would be no time for them to study. I don't support the DPRK, but an anonymous person's guess based on what an unnamed South Korean source said is hardly encyclopedic. I'm eliminating this section unless it's properly sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.11.71.109 ( talk) 01:26, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Is the phrase correct? Xx236 ( talk) 11:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

The article Women's rights in North Korea (which is a very poor article) should be merged here. See explanation on Talk:Women's rights in North Korea. 2A02:2F01:501F:FFFF:0:0:6465:4682 ( talk) 19:19, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
The lead states: "While most other Asian states have attempted to distance their contemporary society from Neo-Confucian ideals, North Korea has, to a large degree, embraced them." This cites an article by Jon Holliday which says:
Confucian pasts, the DPRK stands out among the East Asian post-revolutionary regimes by its silence on this score. Confucianism struck particularly deep roots in Korea, and it is not fanciful to suggest that there may be powerful links between this Confucian past and the manifestly patriarchal present under the "Great Leader" Kim II Sung and the "Dear Leader" Kim long II (his son). This is considerably different. It doesn't say "most other Asian states"; it says "East Asian post-revolutionary regimes", namely China and Vietnam. It doesn't say that North Korea has "embraced" Confucianism; it says that North Korea has failed to "come to terms" with it, has been silent. I will try to amend the text.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 07:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
