I only know these 2 train geeks who spent 1.5 day without a guide.

Do not attempt, I repeat, do not attempt anything similar with a usual Western passport, and do not even dream about it with an American passport. They were able to get away with it because one had a Swiss and the other an Austrian passport, and they knew enough Russian/French to get by. You will not make it with most known passports.
My friend also wandered around for a few hours without a guide here and there, just pretending he was lost. He got away with it cause he can play dumb extremely convincingly, and he genuinely didn't mean no harm anyway. He just wanted to hang out with some people off the grid. But he has been to literal front lines of wars before etc so he's not your average guy either. Plus we also have some obscure passport that NK doesn't give a shit about.
I would assume that if you have to ask SighSee on how to do it, you just shouldn't do it. And again, if you're American, like most people on here, just don't.

Lmfao this guy is the pinnacle of instagram travel influencer, worse than the roasties
I re read their blog once every couple of years. They’re just so enthusiastic about paying a fortune to get a low quality sleeper train.
They also didn’t sneak in - the North Korean visa allowed entry via that route, it’s just that no one except Russian traders and diplomats had used it for years, so the authorities weren’t expecting a couple of Central European autists to turn up. They had to do sone fast talking in Russian to get on the DPRK coaches in Moscow IIRC.
It’s one of the things I dislike about web 2.0. All these excellent random blogs are a thing of the past
Yes. I have. Had a great time and fucked some north korean university students. Proper naughty girls.
An African diplomat has actually done that

Would a Russian passport work?

Consider suicide.
Why secretly? Just book a tour like everyone else.
I think the locals are too busy trying to find their next meal than to be hanging out with some dude looking for a quick coom.
