North Korea Television- Station opening for afternoon broadcasting, part of news and mini drama
Ойын-сауық
Sample of North Korean TV recorded off-air live during a trip there in August 2011. This was the station as received in our hotel.
This is the opening of the station for the afternoon broadcast followed by end of a news report and followed by some sort of mini drama.
Some additional info on the content of the programmes as received from 'Ryuikhan':
Just for people who don't understand Korean, the news section is entirely talking about the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong-do, and accusing the South and the USA of provoking the attack first, saying that their army will not be intimidated. It ends with "our DPRK will march ceaselessly towards a unified Korean Peninsula"
LOOOL the drama, the man hasn't seen the older one in years and invites him into his home. He talks to the older man about "soonae" who the older man assumes he is referring to his daughter. Saying that "soonae" is very smart, and can also sing very well. The old man asks him to bring "soonae" to sing for him (it is common in north Korea for children to sing for adults when they visit). The younger man says that "soonae" says it's too early in the day to sing for him. So, the old man decides to talk to "soonae" for himself. Then he walks into the room where the man's family is and calls for "soonae". Then when the man's wife turns around, the old man says "no, i was calling for 'soonae'". The younger man quickly comes in and says that "soonae" is actually his wife's name. All of them embarassed, the old man talks to the young man about appropriate names to call your wife. "Here in the great Korea, you cannot call your wife as if you call your child. To your wife, you can call her (lists appropriate names)". Then the old man calls out the man's wife, and instructs them to honour the Josawn (Korean) manners, and call each other by some name that I don't understand. I assume it's what husbands and wives are supposed to call each other.
So it's not really a drama, but instructions on how you should call your spouse. LOL.
many thanks for that insight :)

I don't think North Korean news broadcasts are live. I think they record the broadcast first then broadcast it to the public, after making sure they didn't have any errors.

Nope, there are three channels, one with that characteristics you mentioned, other has a waving north korean flag with their national anthem 24/7 (Except when the light goes off, i suppose), and the other has military pageants (I don't know if that's the right word, English is not my mother language) during the whole day. At least that's what Jon Sistiaga (An Spanish joirnalist) said in a documentary i watched some time ago (He said that while filming a TV and swapping between the three channels).

North Korean TV has surprisingly good opening music.
Wow. That was refreshingly informative.
Looking over the drama, there is the constant broadcast of pathological humility, of "I did something wrong, no matter what I did, and I accept that I am flawed but always look for direction on how to be doing it right." The perfect enforced attitude for an authoritarian society, that no matter how fickle and wrong, is always right.

How come the newscaster mention KBS and MBC? Those are both South Korean channels. :O
There is 3 TV channels in DPRK, but only 1 works everyday. The other 2 only works on the weekends and only for Pyongyang.
How would it be a nightmare for someone who has never experienced a "dream"?
So how did you record this? Did they give you a VCR or did you somehow get recording equipment into the country? Just curious
It's kind of hard to find North Korean people who want to subtitle clips on youtube ;)
What the hell is that sound around 1:45?!? I've muffled the speakers and it still sounds like my right ear drum was rattling? Is it a certain tone?
Really need subtitle (especially during the Drama)
I feel so sorry for this nation and all the people who must live there. They have no choice whatsoever! Communism worse than it was in the USSR!!!

Searched for Korean Dramas opening and this showed up.
that was the beginning of broadcast, guess they still shutdown broadcasts when it gets late there
That would imply somebody in North Korea has access to the internet.

Wow! -Without commercial propaganda...That´s my favourite channel! -Don´t turn it off!
They giggle and say ooh, a lot.
This is still better than most of ITV's output.
Sounds like a reverse tape being played!
A very short mini drama indeed. How did you manage to record this ?
Dont even say that, He would die in about 10 mins from arriving to the airport.

@buckyhermit I would agree with what you said...in fact the anchor even names the three main broadcast stations in SK (MBC, KBS, SBS).
This show at the end is way more hilarious than any comedy show I watch. probably the threat of execution for a poor performance also brings a very dramatic element to the show. hahahahah hilarious..... good for the Koreans :D
and 4 grammys for this amazing north korean music.
It still manages to be slightly better than ITV
you made my day LOL
How did you capture this??
that is another way of saying yes.
this is severely frightening
scary to think people are living so sheltered over there. It really needs to be the basis of a movie or something
I agree... If anyone who can speak Korean would be able to explain the plot/message in that short sitcom, we'd all be grateful :)
2:30 Listen carefully, sounds like "The ballad of the green berets" (1965).
Someone needs to do a Downfall-style parody of that mini-drama.
I would love to see some subtitles on this.

does every country in the world use band music for their broadcasts? and in their national anthems?
That Il-Sung face-zoom is just eerie and unsettling. *shivers* Now something concerning the shit-quality: Even if I'm not one to really judge considering I was born in the late 90's and grew up in the 2000's, I have watched programs from the 80's and even then they were superior and far more pristine in quality than this "station". That is one reason why North Korea intrigues me. For how isolated and twisted the country is.

Well why not consider leaving your nation and live in that dictatorship? Sure Pyongyang and a few select cities/towns may appear decent with some attractions and those May Stadium games, though travel up North, and *BOOM*! Poverty, starvation, distress, and inhumanity. And oh, don't you consider posting "Oh, those westerners are corrupting your Kim Jong Soul.". Plenty of fellow Americans, the British, Germans, Australians, and Singaporeans have documented firsthand the joys of Pyongyang and the terrors up North.

They're mentioned KBS,NBC A jab at South Korean and American news channel I think.
If you have a korean , or a korean speaking friend, would you kindly ask them to translate the whole thing for you and just put annotations? That would be great to know what they're all talking about :)
imagine north korean people dancing like in a musical during this infinite opening
wtf, in holland it just takes just two seconds to open the news!
So i'm assuming premium channels and netflix do not exist in N Korea?
I've clicked the live feed, about 1pm EST here and it looks like they've gone off-air......any insight?
@3:40 did the anchorwoman say "NBC'?
Ohh, una straordinaria minidrama. Dimmi, quando sara la prossima puntata?
Well , based on their TV show quality... I'd say North Korea is still living in the 70's.
Literally VHS quality
@LWPW0673 I just figured it out... I just heard 연평도 "yeonpyeongdo" at the beginning. That's the name of the island that North Korea shelled a year ago, so I'm guessing they were talking about South Korean networks "distorting" the reports of the attack or something.

That wasn't really a drama. Was it a sitcom? A sitcom that seriously isn't funny. This is Korean Full House isn't it!
