Ask a North Korean: Do North Koreans love cherry blossom, too?

"North Koreans grow up brainwashed to hate cherry blossom trees"

Every week, we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about.

Today’s question is: In South Korea, people love going to see cherry blossom trees every spring. Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival is held every year in Spring and those living in Seoul go to this festival. Do you go on picnics to see cherry blossom trees in North Korea, too?
