The answer to this question is not simple. Technically, any American citizen can take out a loan from any bank, including a North Korean bank. However, due to the hostile relationship between the United States and North Korea, it is highly unlikely that an American citizen would be able to obtain a loan from a North Korean bank. Even if an American citizen could find a North Korean bank willing to give them a loan, it is very unlikely that the loan would be repaid. Therefore, it is safe to say that an American citizen cannot take out a loan from Kim Jong Un.
No, an American citizen cannot take out Kim Jong Un.
What happens if a US citizen goes to North Korea?
If you are considering traveling to North Korea, the US Department of State strongly advises against it. There is a continuing risk of arrest and long-term detention of US nationals, and the situation is made even more dangerous by the fact that there is no US diplomatic presence in the country. If you do choose to travel to North Korea, exercise extreme caution and be aware of the critical threat of wrongful detention.
However, in September 2017 the US State Department announced that it would be banning all American citizens from traveling to North Korea, citing the risk of “long-term detention” as the reason for the ban. This ban is still in place today, and there are no plans to lift it in the near future.
Can citizens move out of North Korea
North Koreans are not able to move around the country freely and are also not able to travel abroad. Emigration and immigration are both strictly controlled by the government. This means that North Koreans have very little freedom when it comes to movement.
Starting September 1, 2021, US citizens traveling to Korea must have a valid visa or an approved Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) to enter Korea. US citizens who do not have a valid visa or K-ETA will not be allowed to enter Korea.
What is forbidden in North Korea?
If you’re planning on visiting North Korea, be aware that the country has strict laws about what you can bring into the country. It’s illegal to bring in religious, pornographic or political items, so make sure to declare all published material and electronic devices when you arrive. It’s also illegal to knowingly or unknowingly possess items that breach North Korean law, so it’s important to be aware of what you’re carrying with you.
The North Korean telephone system is adequate, with 118 million fixed lines available in 2008. However, most phones are only installed for senior government officials. Someone wanting a phone installed must fill out a form indicating their rank, why they want a phone, and how they will pay for it.
Why does North Korea have no Internet?
Since February 2013, foreigners have been able to access the Internet using the 3G telecommunications network provided by Koryolink. Permission to access the Internet remains tightly restricted. Nearly all of North Korea’s Internet traffic is routed through China.

Is there a McDonald’s in North Korea?
Given the history of tensions between the United States and North Korea, it’s not surprising that American businesses are not welcome in the country. McDonald’s is no exception. The fast food chain has no presence in North Korea.
As long as you’re not photographing or filming anything sensitive (like military installations), you should have no problem taking photos and videos in North Korea. In fact, the country is quite photogenic, and you’ll likely get some great shots while you’re there. Just be respectful of the local people and culture, and you’ll be fine.
Is it safe to live in North Korea
I agree with the sentiment that travel to North Korea is not recommended. The risks are simply too high, and there is not enough international cooperation to ensure safety. The potential for unlawful detention and imprisonment is very real, and the potential for warfare or nuclear escalation is also very real. It’s simply not worth the risk to visit this nation.
The government of North Korea imposes strict controls on the import and sale of television sets within the country. All TVs must be able to operate only on the PAL and DVB-T2 systems in order to prevent them from being able to pick up broadcasts from South Korea (which use the NTSC System M analogue and ATSC digital) or China (which uses the DTMB digital). This allows the North Korean government to maintain a high level of control over the flow of information into the country.
As of 2022, North Korea has cut off its citizens from the global internet. Instead, they are only able to access Kwangmyong, which is a state-run internet service. This means that any content from other users or third-party platforms cannot be accessed by North Koreans.
Pyeonghwa Motors is a North Korean car company that produces small and luxury cars, minivans, SUVs, and pick-up trucks. The company has the exclusive rights to production, purchase, and sale of used cars in North Korea. Most North Koreans are unable to own cars.

No, an American citizen cannot take out Kim Jong Un.
It is unlikely that an American citizen could take out Kim Jong Un. Even if they were able to get close enough to him, it is doubtful that they would be able to kill him given the high level of security that surrounds him.
