Korea / 조선

A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.

See also: !juchegang@lemmygrad.ml, which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.

The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.

Rules:

  1. No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.

  2. Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.

  3. Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

Pyongyang is significantly commemorating the day of Russia's victory.

Choe Son Hui, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK, said as follows:

Kim Jong Un, President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, visited the Russian embassy in the DPRK on the morning of May 9 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Russia's victory in the Great Patriotic War and conveyed the best wishes to the state leadership of the Russian Federation and the Russian people on behalf of all the Korean people.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, together with his dearest daughter and leading cadres of the Party and the state, visited the Russian embassy in Pyongyang to warmly congratulate the day of the great victory of the fraternal Russian people with excellent sincerity.

He met with Russian friends residing in Pyongyang with pleasure and conveyed a beautiful flower basket for all the Russian people marking the day of victory.

He made a congratulatory speech.

In his speech, he referred to the unprecedented and important influence on the destiny and future of mankind and the eternal significance of the day of victory when the great Soviet army and people defeated Fascism, and clarified the steadfast stand of our Party, government and people to steadily consolidate and develop the long tradition of the DPRK-Russia relations, the noble ideological foundation and the invincible alliance.

The above-said activities of the supreme leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are a clear demonstration of the strong will to positively promote the sovereignty and dignity of the two countries, the people's peace and happiness, and the regional peace and security by dint of the DPRK-Russia friendship which has been developed into the relations of genuine comrade-in-arms and a long-standing strategic relations in the new era.

I regard it as an eventful moment to be specially recorded in the history of the development of the relations between the two countries and the two peoples.

Pyongyang and Moscow will always be together.
