Are there any alternatives to Jaka Parker on DPRK?

Jaka Parker is one of the few sources who provide valid video content of what life is like in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.
Videos such as “COMPUTER STORE IN NORTH KOREA” are great resources to dispel common myths such as “there is no anime in North Korea”.
But he is also a transphobe (citation), which leads me to not sharing it amongst leftist groups.
What alternative sources for DPRK photography and life videos exist?

Sally Yin on Twitter shares lots of videos. Mostly short from and images, and usually of Pyongyang in particular (which is of course one of the nicer and more developed areas in the DPRK), but also some of the countryside and smaller cities.

In an exercise of tolerance, you could also accept that their views on gender and biology have nothing to do with their NK coverage. They make great videos! Enjoy them! This modern idea of cancelling anyone completely when they don’t agree with you really causes a lot of friction.
