North Korea's social media is tightly controlled and inconsistent, primarily focusing on state propaganda rather than genuine cultural exchange. The government uses restricted platforms like international Twitter accounts and YouTube to convey specific messages and counter outside perspectives, maintaining ideological purity and political power while limiting outside influence.

North Korea has a controlled amount of information that is shared which the global population. North Korea has direct access to communicate with others through social media by using fake accounts and making videos to influence viewers. This false information is specifically chosen by the government for manipulation purposes.

Soft power is hard for authoritarian states because their public perception is already negative due to the treatment of their people. As we see, North Korea makes wild moves like missile testing. This will make most states have a bad perception of them. This continuous use of hard power makes their attempts at soft power seem like a farce.
