North Korean Propaganda

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned Saturday that Seoul would face a "horrible disaster" if unmanned drones reached Pyongyang again, a day after accusing the South of launching such aircraft at the capital.

Trash-carrying balloons sent by North Korea hit the South Korean presidential compound Wednesday, security officials told AFP, prompting Seoul to mobilise chemical response teams in the escalating tit-for-tat propaganda war.

Kim Ki Nam, one of the longest-serving North Korean officials who served all 3 generations of its leaders cementing their political legitimacy and heading the propaganda apparatus for the dynastic state, has died, official media said on Wednesday.

North Koreans must prioritise safeguarding propaganda portraits of their leaders, the country's official newspaper said, as a tropical storm made landfall on the Korean peninsula on Thursday.

Galloping through forest atop a white horse, Kim Jong Un stars in a new North Korean propaganda video that touts his economic leadership but ignores a recent spate of sanctions-busting missile launches.

A rare mention in North Korean state media of leader Kim Jong Un's health could be intended to head off speculation and play up shared sacrifice amid food shortages, analysts said.

North Korea's army is ready to take action if defector groups push ahead with their campaign to send propaganda leaflets into North Korea, state media said on Tuesday, in the latest warning of retaliatory measures.

When former president Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea in 2009 on a humanitarian mission to free two American journalists, he delivered strict instructions to his team ahead of their meeting with dictator Kim Jong Il: "We're not smiling."

In initial small steps toward reconciliation, South Korea said on Monday it would remove loudspeakers that blared propaganda across the border, while North Korea said it would shift its clocks to align with its southern neighbour.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wants to boost the "warm climate of reconciliation and dialogue" with South Korea after a high-level delegation returned from the Winter Olympics, while his foes stressed the need to intensify pressure to force him to give up his nuclear weapons.

Propaganda leaflets from North Korea marking the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics have been found in mountains in the South Korean capital, Seoul, a North Korea specialist news website reported on Monday.

A North Korean propaganda outlet Thursday released an inflammatory video clip showing a simulated attack on the White House, declaring "the enemy to be destroyed is in our sights."

Case in point: a new video, unveiled at a recent musical performance in honor of Kim II Sung, shows missiles leaving a U.S. city in flames.

An official North Korean website has released a new propaganda video portraying a multiple rocket attack on South Korea's presidential Blue House and other government buildings in Seoul.

North Korea has scattered nearly one million propaganda leaflets in South Korea over the past week, Seoul said today, in an escalating propaganda battle triggered by Pyongyang's latest nuclear test.
