Inside North Korea with Aram Pan 아람 판과 함께하는 북한이야기
North Korea publishes English, Chinese, Japanese and Russian news very regularly. These publications are carefully written to convey only approved state messages. These publications are unlike international newspapers that are written with the individual journalist’s personal thoughts and emotional influences.

These extra grand parades are held every 5 years interval, so this year (2020) being the 75th year would mean this parade will hold great significance.

Nothing in North Korea is more iconic than the images of their leaders. The smiling faces of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il can be found in homes, schools, offices, factories and public spaces. They are a constant reminder for the local population that they owe everything to their beloved leaders.
