Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

KCNA is a news agency owned by DPRK, North Korea. kcna.kp is the domain. It is hosted in Pyongyang. The .kp domain is controlled by the DPRK state.
Every month or so I check the website because they have photos of DPRK celebrations, agitprop posters, stuff like that. Today I see this article posted and it seems quite odd.
Are there any other sources of information on DPRK in general you could provide? Most of what i can find seems to boil down to "north korea bad".
For a point of view from a DPRK author, this book: Modern Korea: The Socialist North, Revolutionary Perspectives in the South, and Unification.
For a ML point of view: ProleWiki page on DPRK. There are also pages on south Korea, Korea, and the Korean War.
For a Korean diaspora and activist perspective, of people who travelled to DPRK multiple times on delegation trips: KEEP: Stories from North Korea episode on The East is a Podcast. Also Nodutdol's zine, Sanctions of Empire (there is a link to PDF on that page if you click the zine cover image).
For a south Korean leftist/left-leaning/peace point of view (try machine translation if you don't know Korean, my apologies for not knowing an English one for this): "Understanding North Korea" article series by Tongil Times, especially their 북현대사 ("North Modern History") series, and "North Korea through the constitution" series by Sovereignty Research Institute.
