Our surveys document the rising access to alternative sources of information and a growing willingness of North Koreans to listen to them. But as North Korea seeks to enter the digital age, the leakage of information can take a politically edgy form. DailyNK reports the discovery of several hundred DVDs in the East Coast city of Hoiryeong with cleverly-disguised material critical of the regime.
In January, South Korean hackers penetrated the government’s Uriminzokkiri website and twitter account, hosted in China, and posted derogatory comments about the leadership and a devastating cartoon of Kim Jung Un.
The video begins with Kim Jong Il contemplating an array of expensive presents for Kim Jung Un on his birthday and continues with him running over hapless North Koreans in a red sports car.
A full translation of the video follows:
“The truth behind the Kim Jong Un Train Incident [the reference is to reports of a derailed train SH/MN]"
Kim Jong Il: Ahh…Today is Kim Jong Un's birthday. I wonder what he'd like for his presents? A Mercedez Benz? A Yacht? Money? Eh, whatever; I'll just get him everything. Hahahaha.
Kim Jong Un: Get out of my way, you &@#@$@! [Runs over starving people; the corpses pile up on the railway.]
Hahahaha, these people are worthless!!
(Phone rings)
Hello?
Kim Jong Il: It's me, your dad.
Kim Jong Un: Daddy, it's my birthday; don't you have any presents for me?
Kim Jong Il: Don't worry, I just sent you your presents by train. I'm sure you'll like them since they're all crazy expensive. Haha.
Kim Jong Un: Oh, Okay Dad.
Train driver: Huh? What are those?
(The train runs into the corpses left on the railway by Kim Jong Un, and the presents hit Kim Jong Un one by one.)
Kim Jong Un: Dammit, who is it! Who left the &@#@$@! corpses on the railway! Damn it, if you get caught, you're dead! Which bastard is it!
(Closing) They say Kim Jong Un is still looking for the culprit.
