…or just click here and you can get the scoop on North Korea television — English edition:
In terms of programming, it’s pretty clear even to someone who speaks no Korean that this is some propaganda-tastic stuff. Right now they’re blasting some tunes backed with inspiring images of workers and slogans; earlier there was a short piece that appeared to be about how awesome it is to work in a North Korean coal mine. (OK, I have no idea what they were saying, but everyone was in a coal mine and they all seemed happy and excited.) There’s also a lot of music matched with slideshows of natural beauty like mountains and lakes from (I assume) North Korea, and I saw one show that appeared to be an old woman reading from a book, telling a story about the North Korean army in winter.
Thanks for dropping us a solid, Kim Jong Un.
