A little nitpick, which is noted in the comments on Youtube: at 4:50, he states that "It's not North Korea, as South Korea names itself..." South Korea is officially the Republic of Korea (ROK) when written in English, and the casual naming conventions used in English-speaking countries are seemingly identical for them both. Wikipedia has quite a bit of interesting content about the Korean and English names for the country over time.
