Oh, Youth!

Oh, Youth! is a 1995 North Korean comedy drama film by Jong-pal Jon, which was originally titled "Chongchuniyo!". While North Korea is not typically known for releasing comedies,[1] Oh Youth! is a rare example of a comedic film produced in the DPRK, with English subtitles, and can be viewed on YouTube.[2] Of note is that, while mention of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is a typical occurrence, the success of the characters is not attributed to him.
