When clickbait articles tout photos from North Korea, they’re lying

One of the most common lying clickbait categories I’ve seen are articles that tout surprising photos of life in North Korea. They always use pictures of pretty women who aren’t from North Korea.
Here are two recent examples.
One article from Smartfeed was headlined “A Brave Photographer Smuggled These 28 Photos out of North Korea.” It used a photo of South Korean model and actress Jinri Park who is based in the Philippines. The photo is from reality TV show “Pinoy Big Brother.” (See article from ABS-CBN News and video from 123Vid.

An article from Taboola was titled “This Photographer Snuck 20 Illegal Photos out of North Korea.” It used a photo of five sexy women presumably lined up for military training.
The photos were from Chinese fashion photographer Liu Jianan. He did a series of fantasy role-playing photos featuring sexy female soldiers called “Online Game 2.” I’ve posted a few pictures from the series below.
