You think North Korea doesn't have agents that operate all over the world ETM?
Just saying ETM, but the regime there is well connected to various criminal groups all over the world. And, yes, they do have agents that operate all over the world. Look it up. Though they concentrate their operations against the South, they do spy and perform espionage and other acts (including assassinations) far beyond South East Asia. And with a thin skinned and megalomaniac type at the top of the food chain there, who knows what the reaction would be? One night Seth Rogen is answering his door cuz he ordered Kimchi take out, and before he knows it his throat is slit. Just saying...
A few things:
1) North Korea is in East Asia, not SE Asia.
2) No one orders kimchi. It's a side-dish. It'd be like ordering bread.
3) No, they don't have agents operating all over the world. They may or may not have a handful in Seoul, but you're ascribing way too much power to them. And they're not connected to "various criminal groups" in the world. I have no idea where you got that.
I hate to pull the "I know what I'm talking about, because I lived in Seoul 6 years and have read a ton of books about NK-SK relations and have friends in military intelligence there" card, but well, I did, I have and I do.
Also you would think Seth and James would be cool with NK since they have legal weed there. Even their military can smoke it
While most of the rest of the world is still wringing its hands over whether to make marijuana legal, the DPRK is ahead of the game, in that they never made it illegal to begin with: The North Korean government doesn't consider marijuana a drug and has never regulated its use. You might think this is because the country does not give an actual crap about the well-being of its people, so it doesn't regulate drugs whatsoever, but you'd be wrong: The government is extremely harsh on users of hard drugs like meth, for example.

Cracked article. It said they grow it all over the place and the government doesn't care.

Here is another good read for all the crazy crap they have been pulling lately

Oh my....they are that good at insurance fraud and counterfeit money?
All countries have "agents" that operate all over the world, but I think if we start imagining they're all like Jason Bourne or Jack Bauer, we'd be disappointed just how mundane their work is. I had a political science professor who was once a CIA operative: most of his job was to sit in an outdoor cafe in Vienna sipping coffee and watching people come and go from the Soviet Embassy. Barely did a lick of work more than that, he claims, but got paid for it.
Julia Child was a CIA Operative.
She was once the deadliest woman alive with a rolling pin.
I just want to point out again, that I wasn't saying that they are at the level of Cold War era KGB, or the Mossad or the CIA.
For all we know, they're not much more effective than the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (for any wet assignments, we have to borrow guns from the Americans like a lending library).
