Miss Ri Chun Hee, the famous pink news lady, did an interview with China’s CCTV and explained the overhaul. She explained that news broadcast used to be plain and emotionless. But now she has trained the presenters to make it into a performance for the TV audience, and change the tone of the broadcast to milder and more gentle. She has also retired from the daily news broadcast and focused on training new presenters and reporters. She said, of course the audience would like to see a young and pretty presenter on TV! She only hosts new reports during major announcements and festivals.
It's not like she has the free will to change anything in North Korean TV. Let's not pretend like she's not one of the many puppets controlled by the man himself, Kim Jong Un. She was ordered to present the news in a certain way, was ordered to retire, was ordered to host festivals etc, to all of which she had to obey. Whoever believes any other possibility exists certainly doesn't know sht about living in a country that has a de facto owner; a single individual who has control over everyone and everything lol
@@05013579 i dont know what the heart is for, she is a spokesman of a totalitarian regime. Nothing more than a part of the grand propaganda program. She should not be someone u look up to.
Many of them don’t even know that they’re suffering, because the limited media they are permitted shows them how shitty the outside world is compared to glorious mother Korea.
@@mohamedelhaddade6371 They are do not know anything about the world. They do not use high-speed internet. They do not have access to the world through the internet; they only have 28 websites. Citizens are forbidden to visit another country, let alone other cities. If this isn't suffering, then what?
@@mohamedelhaddade6371 they are imagine you can't eat what you want. And those soldiers don't have salary for a year and if they have it's only $0.08 and last they suffer from malnutrition. I bet you haven't watched some NK soldiers who defect from NK.
@@kokenbilim_ like I said all this is a depiction from the western perspective..as long as I don't see what are you talking about in an non biased structure..then am unable to truly judge NK in good or a bad way
That pink lady has been a news anchor throughout my lifetime that I can tell my kids and grandkids "I saw North Korea change up their news from the comfort and safety of my home in American as I eat a nice bag of Doritos and a family value meal with a nice bucket of fried chicken from KFC and a diet coke."

@@howdoyouturnthison7827 but to they be able to developing all the nuclear and rocket technology that they have today, that is probably almost compatible with the American and Russian technology, they need to have a good education base at this subject, to create the necessary cientists, and at least some kind of advance technology as the other countries that have nuclear bombs. And they also have some nuclear centrals. Sorry for my English
@@GuilhermePereira-vi6vc Don't worry I'm not an English native too :D. They are/were probably taking technical support from foreign scientists.I don't think they have enough native scientist to develop anything because country ruled by a insane tyrant. About the technology, I'm sure they cannot compete with any nuclear power and as I said nuclear technology is not really a very advance tech. US did it with primitive computers and basicly on drawing board Actually main problem is setting up the nuclear plant and enrichment plants which are I heard they used Pakistani equipments. As an engineer I can say that most complicated part of the nuclear weapon is not the bomb itself , it is the how to deploy and use the bomb safely and reliably. Korean cannot use their antique bombers to reach anywhere outside of their border so their only option is the balistic missiles. It is really complicated process need to be done on really good computers simulations or basic trial and error which US and USSR did back in cold war .They are struggle this part. I guess Chinese are giving them the missiles or support to develope one. Sorry for long reply.
@@howdoyouturnthison7827 The people organizing the news broadcast are relatively rich and well-connected by NK standards. It is possible that they used foreign media or tools to do it
Third world country: *invests a little bit more money into their news organisations, allowing them to make higher quality broadcasts* Western media: “who care?” North Korea: *does literally the exact same thing* Western media: “:O”
I mean, freedom is subjective. For example, if you grew up with no smartphones or PC, but just other stuffs, like our parents, they can still find happiness in other things. As they grew up like that, they adapted to it.
@@sooryan_1018 In that sense, yes, but they also live in one of the least free countries in the world and can't even get an unauthorized haircut without being arrested.
There was a news broadcast for north korean tv i think in 2018 chinese new year where ri chun hee meets with a chinese news reader. She stated that soon she will be replaced by 'younger, more beautiful women' so she can retire.
“The program director behind those fancy video graphics was fed to the dogs at the behest of the Supreme Leader. Now let’s move over to the pink lady for some old-fashioned bland news straight from the 60s”.
Well, there kind of is. BBC World Service broadcasts in the Korean language, although of course the Kim regime runs jamming signals so it's not clear whether citizens can pick it up consistently.
I thought they broadcast TV and radio like closed circuit television which solely use cables without any wireless broadcasting system. Well, I think that they using cctv system to prevent NK people to access to foreign TV and foreign people from hacking their national information.
@@RichterBelmont02 well, in my country that are just 4 channel free. I mean, there are 3 or 4 more but this are the main (the others are like for example, the assembly sections channel). You can of course buy hundreds of channels or Netflix... But the main and free channels aren't no more than in North Korea, and I live in Portugal
i dont get why people think this looks outdated lol i know yall hate north korea but come on, lets give them some credit for making it look at least decent
I'm in the US, but have been watching boot-leg KCTV reports when they have been posted to RU-vid since 2017. A lot of these 'changes' had already been happening then
I will be more surprised if they release a south Korean style talkshow. With cute graphics and sound effects accompanied with little screen that's shows the host fake reaction.
When he was waving his hands to the people even he knew that they're happy and excited only because they're afraid of him. But unfortunately he'll kill them if they seem too happy about him leaving.

It had held me to think that north koreans were bored with their official TV having no alternatives. Turns not, they watch pirated US movies on “air-dropped” USB-sticks
@@MrMordy wouldn't it be easier to drop S.Korean movies? less need of subtitles, i mean they would understand around 50% without subtitles. Or does the USB contain a ton of popular movies
@@gramar1433 no not really lol... have you ever watched a South Korean tv channel? The editing is strikingly similar. I haven't seen that kind of editing anywhere else
I think that after reunification, KCTV will be privatized and renamed KTV. And it'll be a private competitor to KBS, similar to ITV in Britain and CTV in Canada.
