Gyeong Hong Jong, a North Korean special forces operative who was killed by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) operatives in Kursk Oblast, has left behind a diary that is now being gradually translated. His notes reveal that North Korea has sent elite fighters to Russia.
I don’t think it is wilful in this case. This is someone who was raised in North Korea, fed propaganda and Juche his entire life, and this is the result.
It’s similar to why Vikings wanted to die in battle and go to Valhalla. Because that’s how you’re supposed to sacrifice yourself. And if you do it wrong, you’ve let Odin down.
The only difference here really is that the All-Father is the Respected Comrade.
The meadow part should be Folkvangr, you’re hanging out with Freya there. Valheim the game world as far as I can tell (didn’t actually play the game) incorporates pretty much all of the Yggdrasil worlds.

Why would you want to go to Valhalla, Folkvangr sounds much nicer.
The trouble here is that NK state religion is monotheistic.
I’m a Valheim guy myself. Pretty relaxing life out in the Meadows.
