did you ever get paired to north korea 🇰🇵?

You could? I don't believe you that there is a player from North Korea

Some people use it in their profile as a joke, I think I have

There are more than 10 thousand players who fly the North Korean flag. Probably none of them is a real North Korean, but that doesn't matter for the achievement.

Yes and none are North Korean because western apps are forbidden. How to justify that Chess.com doesn't scrap it?

funny how there's North Korea but not russia

안녕! 나는 북한 출신이야! 나는 Chess.com을 하기 위해 VPN만 써! 정말 재밌는 게임이야!

I am only missing two or three flags, north korea was not hard to get. some of the small island states are harder to get.

I once did. I was 100% sure he/she was not an actual North Korean

No you are not

거짓말하지 맙시다

There is Russia, it’s a blue flag now cuz of the war

North Koreans on chess.com are 99.99999999999999999% fake

Yep

Yeah and when I click on it some information about the war in an article shows up I think-

swing... and a miss!

As a South Korean, it is so obvious that the person above me is not North Korean

While some users on Chess.com display the North Korean flag, it's unlikely that they are actually based in North Korea. Internet access in North Korea is highly restricted, making it improbable for residents to participate on international platforms like Chess.com. Many players choose the North Korean flag for novelty or anonymity, rather than as an indication of their true location.
