37th floor - Pyongyang, DPRK
37th floor - Pyongyang, DPRK
Pyongyang is a FACADE city. The Yanggakdo Hotel where we stay - like much of Pyongyang's architecture - is built to impress. Oversize constructions in DPRK are a sign of "quality" while the inside of the monumental buildings is often less striking. Our room is on 37th floor, facing the Taedong river with the city panorama. On my elevator rides I realize that a couple of floors have the corridor lights turned of day and night. I find out that on these floors only "insiders" live like Russian circus artists, gymnasts, tourist guides (they always have to stay in the same hotel like their foreign guests). To my big surprise etage 4 is missing on the number panel inside the elevator. I try to stop or enter the 4th floor but I can't. www.gozilla.me

This is electronic hardcore music from Pyongyang's underground anarchist movement! I have received these tracks on tapes and CDs from my North-Korean refugee contacts in China. They have helped to smuggle this material. PHR is an extreme electronic music duo in Pyongyang. The other part of the duo moved to North-Korea to his family and introduced hardcore techno to his friend who has lived his whole life in NK. I'm not Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance, or a member of it. Just spreading this to let the world know the underground resistance is fighting! My identity and my contacts' identities shall remain secret as we are fucking paranoid about North-Korean spies! This is a FUCK YOU from North-Korean underground to corrupted leaders Kim Jong Il and Lee Myung Bak! This is also a FUCK YOU to both South-Korean and North-Korean popular music that try to keep the masses dumb and obedient! This is the bassdrum of truth exported to you straight from Pyongyang!

The Pyongyang Concert
The Pyongyang Concert
Who would have thought it? An American orchestra performing in North Korea! Hundreds of millions watched this historic New York Philharmonic concert on television in February 2008 and for a few hours the cold war hostilities seemed to be forgotten. This memorable event is now available for home-viewing on DVD and, as the first classical concert ever, on Blu-Ray Disc - highly advanced technology, which offers state-of-the-art technical professional viewing standards in the comfort of your home. Music became diplomacy when conductor Lorin Maazel and the New York Philharmonic, the USA's most eminent orchestra, opened the concert in East Pyongyang's Grand Theatre with both the American and the North Korean national anthems. The entertaining programme included music by Wagner, Dvořák, Gershwin, Bizet and Bernstein and prompted the North Korean audience to standing ovations. This courageous musical project also united Korean and American musicians, who, together, produced a technically brilliant performance. The musicians barely spoke to one another, communicating in exchanged glances and body language, and when Lorin Maazel raised his baton at the end of the concert and the orchestra embarked on 'Arirang,' a lilting folk song emblematic of the North and South Korean people, the audience was obviously touched. A previously unreleased documentary with 53 min of exclusive material shows members of the New York Philharmonic on their historic trip to North Korea's capital. Many <b>...</b>

평양시 군민 만고역적 리명박패당의 죄행을 단죄규탄 Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- A Pyongyang city army-people rally took place at Kim Il Sung Square on Monday in denunciation of the crimes committed by the Lee Myung Bak group of unparalleled traitors. The rally was attended by senior party, state and army officials, chairperson of a friendly party, officials of party, armed forces and power organs, public organizations, ministries and national institutions, servicepersons of the Korean People's Army and the Korean People's Internal Security Forces, officials in the fields of science, education, culture and arts, public health and media, working people and students in the city, more than 100 000 in all. A statement of a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army was read out at the rally to be followed by speeches. KPA General Jang Jong Nam said on behalf of the servicepersons of the KPA: Now that south Korean confrontation maniacs without equals in the world dared to perpetrate such extreme provocation as not ruling out even a war against the DPRK, there remains between the north and the south only physical settlement of returning fire for fire. The powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu has never made an empty talk. It is the spirit and courage of the KPA to deal merciless deadly blows at the enemies till they are wiped out to the last man. Those who do harm to the dignity of our leadership will not be able to go scot-free on this land and in the sky <b>...</b>

Pyongyang water park(북한 만경대 물놀이장 사진 공개)
Pyongyang water park(북한 만경대 물놀이장 사진 공개)
Uriminjokkiri, an Internet propaganda site operated by North Korea and targeted at South Koreans, posted some 40 color photos of a pool in Pyongyang on Sunday under the title "Cool Summer." Scenes of people using digital cameras to take pictures of friends in swimsuits and sprinkling water onto each other are similar to those in South Korea. Women wear two-piece bathing suits but none of those in the photos are wearing bikinis. The outdoor water amusement park covers about 15000 square meters of land and can accommodate 4000 people with its variety of facilities. Showing many photos of people playing in the water at once is rare for the North, and the move is believed to suggest Pyongyang's intent to improve its image of a closed society. 북한이 '우리민족끼리' 사이트에 평양시에 있는 만경대물놀이장 사진 40여 장을 게재했다. 사진 속에 등장하는 북한 물놀이장은 파도풀, 미끄럼틀풀 등 여느 워터파크와 다를 것 없는 시설들이 갖춰져 있다. 또한 인공파도가 치는 물놀이장에는 튜브를 이용해 수영을 하고, 파라솔 아래에서 더위를 식히는 사람들로 북적북적 거린다. 물론 무더운 여름철 더위를 피해 물놀이장을 찾은 것은 대단히 자연스러운 일이지만 지금껏 북한 매체에서 주민들의 물놀이 사진을 한꺼번에 40여 장을 쏟아낸 경우는 없었던 터라 갑작스레 사진을 공개하는 것이 어째 수상쩍다. 얼마 전에도 대동강변 수해 장면을 담은 사진을 조작해 들통 나 국제적 망신을 당한 적이 있지 않은가? 어째 이번 물놀이장 사진도 강성대국 진입의 해가 다가오는 것을 감안해 폐쇄적 이미지를 개선하려는 선전활동에 지나지 않나 싶다 <b>...</b>

North Korea may not officially be on the agenda of the nuclear summit in Seoul, but it's something that's hard for leaders to avoid. Especially after Barack Obama's earlier warning to punish Pyongyang for what he described as 'bad behaviour' over its planned satellite launch. Irina Galushko has more.

UN chief warns North Korea rocket launch could affect aid - 23Mar2012
SINGAPORE: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned North Korea Friday that any rocket launch could discourage international aid donors and worsen the country's already dire humanitarian situation. "Such an act would undermine recent positive diplomatic progress and, in its effect on international donors, would likely worsen the humanitarian situation inside the country," he said in a speech in Singapore. Ban told an audience of government officials, diplomats and academics that he was "very troubled and very deeply concerned" by Pyongyang's announcement to launch a satellite next month. He said it would be a "clear violation" of UN Security Council resolutions and warned that the North already had a "serious humanitarian crisis" on its hands. Nuclear-armed North Korea has said it will launch a rocket in April to put a satellite into orbit, a move which the United States and its allies see as a pretext for a long-range missile test. Washington voiced doubt last week over whether it could provide food aid to Pyongyang if it followed through on its threat to launch the rocket. On February 29 the United States said it would move ahead on a plan to deliver 240000 metric tons of food aid to Pyongyang after North Korea agreed to a partial freeze on its nuclear programme, to suspend missile tests and allow UN inspectors. www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/1190793/1/.html

The tone is set : even the Beijing Olympics ceremony cant compete with the mass games organized by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The show is held several times a week and welcomes tourists from all over the World, including the US, in one of the most isolated and despised country on earth. The well-called « mass games » are designed to emphasize group dynamics rather than individual performances as the supreme emblem of communism. Prepared by hundred of thousands performers all along the year, after their classes for the youngest of them, they are entirely dedicated to the NKs leader Kim Jong Il and his deceased father Kim Il Sung, considered as the « Eternal president » and « sun of the 21st century » In the surroundings of Pyongyang's May Day giant Stadium, two girls are running to perform for the Arirang show. They are already dressed in their gymnastic outfits, as well as some 100000 others who participate to the performance. They all come to honour their self-proclaimed « dear leader » Kim Jong Il, after a very hard and gruelling training, since their earliest age. Yet, it has been many years that Kim Jong Il has not shown up, formally for business <b>...</b>
