At first glance this coud be mistaken for a karaoke backing video. Alas, it’s North Korean propaganda using Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and “We Are the World” to show the U.S. under attack. Yes, we know. It’s too awesome. Of course, ‘We are the World’ was written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. North Korea […]
Well, sort of – Supreme Leader wouldn’t let Eric Schmidt map everything of course. Thus the updated (it was mostly blank before) version of parts of North Korea became viewable today.
North Korean prison camps are amongst the most notorious in the world. They house gas chambers and chemical experiments, and prisoners are incarcerated just for being related to other prisoners.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reached his 30th birthday yesterday, and to celebrate he sent 1kg of candy and cookies to every child in his country.
A series of photos capturing the full spectrum of life inside North Korea has been released a couple of days after Kim Jong-un’s first year as the country’s leader. He took over from his father, Kim Jong-ill, on 17 December 2011.
North Korea launch successful. Doctors reveal what is wrong with Mandela. First Royal in 3D. FBI and NASA suffer biggest hack this year. Aussie radio station gives money to victim’s family. Nurse left suicide note. League 2 side knocks out Arsenal.
Supreme Leader hasn’t spoken out yet, and it’s not clear whether his scientists have the capacity to harvest unicorn DNA to make him one so that he may ride out across Pyongyang, but they have indeed found a unicorn lair!
The world’s leading online satirical newspaper, The Onion, wrote a piece on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un being the sexiest man alive. You don’t have to know the publication is satire to work out that was a joke. Unless you’re the official voice of the Chinese Communist Party..
China is preparing for its new president, and one of the most glamorous First Ladies world politics has ever seen. But will she match up to Not-The-Real-Excellent Horse-Like Lady?
People of Pyongyang, rejoice! No longer will you be confined to dreary offices, with no way of de-stressing from your revolutionary work. Praise be to the Young General, for his great vision and the gift of Physical Exercise Centre!
It must be tough to be a North Korean athlete at the Olympics. The hermit kingdom keeps a very close eye on their sportsmen and women in London, making sure none of them defect.
News broke overnight that Great Leader, Kim Jong-un, is in fact married. And it isn’t to the pop princess who sings “Excellent Horse-Like Lady”, but in fact another singer.
Yesterday reports surfaced that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had been given the title of Marshal – the country’s highest military rank. And how did the troops respond? Turns out they were so ecstatic that spontaneous dancing broke out in the streets!
We’ve been waiting patiently here at the 2oceansVibe Media Compound for some spice about the Supreme Leader Of North Korea, and champion of our hearts, Kim Jong-un, the Great Successor, to come into the public domain.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the Kim family, apart from a failure to launch. In an unusually detailed statement from the North Korean military, a new threat has been issued against the south following its coverage of a mass children’s event in North Korea, which was highly critical of the unitary-party state.
Ever since the untimely departure of Our Dear Leader, a gaping hole has been left in the fabric of society, waiting to be filled by an equally magnificent specimen of humanity. Mercifully it did not take long for the void to be filled. Click through to be basked in the glory of The Adventures Of Kim Jung Un, Our Dear Leader’s successor.
North and South Koreas relationship is staid at best. They’ve been taunting each other for all of my life. The Korean War was in 1950 and the vibe hasn’t really improved since. North Korea threatens to blow up South Korea on an almost monthly basis and when you hear that two of their officials (one […]
Spectacle is the order of the day for the first birthday celebration of late departed North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Il since his death, as North Koreans turn out en masse to celebrate the “Day of the Shining Star”
Last month, we saw footage of North Koreans weeping hysterically over the death of Kim Jong Il. Shockingly, it now turns out some of those people were just faking it! As punishment, authorities are handing down six months in a labor-training camp to all those who participated, but “didn’t cry and didn’t seem genuine.”
Kim Jong-un, son and heir apparent to his father’s North Korean throne, may have to share rule of the isolated country with the North Korean military and his uncle, a source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing has said today.
North Korean television has flighted images of the body of Kim Jong-Il lying in a glass coffin. There was also a flower-bedecked bier supporting the casket. His son and successor, Kim Jong-Un and other senior officials could be seen paying their respects.
As you know, yesterday the world lost a pretty decent dictator. Understandably Kim Jong-il’s nation has been struck down with grief, bordering on mass hysteria. Check out insane footage of North Koreans grieving as if their lives depend on it – after the jump.
As the saying goes in Pyongyang, one good Kim deserves another. So, as Dear Leader’s dearest son prepares to assume the mantle of power, let’s look back at some of Kim Jong-Il’s greatest hits.
Well, not really. But North Korea has issued a stern threat to their southern neighbours, warning of “unexpected consequences” if South Korea initiates “psychological warfare” by lighting up any Christmas trees near the north/south border. As opposed to, you know, the actual warfare initiated by the north when they shelled one of the southern islands.
This fairly depressing photo series of Manyongdae Funfair, North Korea’s version of the Happiest Place On Earth, has just been released. The amusement park, located a few kilometres north of Pyongyang, is the last theme park in the dictatorship, which isn’t totally surprising given the dilapidated and dangerous rides on display.
Kim Jong Eun is the son of North Korea’s Kim Jong Il. He is destined to rule this nuclear-armed rogue nation one day, but it is said that his dad is rather obsessed with the whole “eternal president” concept. So much so, that he’s sent his son for six plastic surgery procedures to look more like him and his father. See if you can spot the resemblances – I’d suggest starting with the double chins.
Our Dear Leader’s son/amorphous bag of goo/successor has taken the next great step towards ruling North Korea – he bought himself a furry hat just like his dad’s. It’s not any old hat. The Fargo inspired accessory is made of otter fur by the hands of a master craftsman. Only if you’re very serious about ruling North Korea do you get to wear one of these.
Our Dear Leader, The Great and Beneficent Kim Jong Il has, after all these years of preserving its purity, seen it fit to allow his adoring public access to the great and magnificent Pyongyang Golf Complex. Players from all across the world (except South Korea, naturally) are invited to take part in the first North Korean Amateur Golf Open.
Kim Jong Il, the bluebird on the arc of the rainbow, the morning stag – Our Dear Leader – has offered the simpering worms, South Korea, an olive branch of peace. Will South Korea take that branch, or will they perish in a Sea Of Flame?
The Asian rumour mill has been grinding away on the same grist for some time now – Our Dear Leader is on his way out, health-wise. Reports have surfaced in recent months of Kim Jong Il’s chronic kidney failure, and general lapse into a malaise of poor health. In short, he’ll soon be re-joining the rainbow from which he was born. And he’s going out with a bang, ask South Korea.
