actually youtube search of k-un spelled out and gangnam style showed several, but none as good as that one.

Well, I am glad to say it looks a lot like K-Un was just blowing the normal smoke:

The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea - N.Korea Says Factory Owners Can Come to Kaesong

I still think there is a small chance until the 25th of June (start of the original Korean War) but clearly they have toned down the oversensitive demagoguery, and this opening comes after their delegation to China got back. So, it does seem that China stepped up, and got NK in line.

minor update. Japan may be quaking in the boots based on the last two paragraphs

Don't Commit Another Crime



Simomura, Japanese minister of culture, education and science refuted a comment of a UN commission concerned that the Japanese government's exception of Korean schools from the tuition-free program for senior high schools is national discrimination.

He advanced a sophistry that the Japanese government excluded the Korean schools from the program because they have a close connection with Chongryon, or the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and deep relations with the DPRK.

If they have an ounce of conscience in them, the Japanese authorities should provide the Korean students in Japan with the rights to democratic national education and conditions for it from the standpoint of both their reflection on the past wrongdoings and moral obligation. It is Japan's duty and responsibility.

This notwithstanding, Japan excluded the Korean schools from the object of aid for the reason that they are connected with the DPRK and Simomura blustered that it is not national discrimination.

Simomura is steeped deep in the sense of hostility towards the DPRK and national chauvinism.

Japanese laws recognize the equal rights of all people to education though for form's sake and the stipulation is applied to foreign schools.

In Japan there are scores of foreign schools, but only Korean schools are excluded from the tuition-free program.

Simomura in charge of education of Japan is well aware of it. But, he takes issue with Korean schools deliberately because they teach history unlike Japanese schools.

Then, what is the case with other foreign schools in Japan?

The authorities concerned of Japan connive at history education of other foreign schools including American and Chinese schools, only demanding Korean schools revise the contents of education.

It is evident double standards and national discrimination.

What matters is the fact that it neither the individual stance of a few authorities, nor a temporary measure.

Japan is committing another crime against the Korean people.

The Korean people are firmly determined not to tolerate the Japanese reactionaries' policy of discrimination against the Korean nation and to settle accounts with the past crimes of Japan.

Nobody can know what would happen when the wrath of the Korean army and people erupts like volcano.

We warn the Japanese authorities to act with discretion.

even more minor update:

Honestly, they make ping pong sound like they won WWIII

Winners Added to Honor of Songun Korea



Winners at the 52nd international table tennis championships came back home Thursday. Kim Hyok Bong and Kim Jong won first prize in the mixed doubles.

At the first and the second stage games they easily defeated Greek and Russian players, and at the third stage games their rivals were French boy and girl whom they also got the better of, despite loud cheering of the fans of France, the venue of the championships.

At the fourth stage games our team matched with Japan and south Korea, and the games ended in our victory. In the semi-quarter finals our team's rival was China's Hong Kong team.

In the mixed doubles for 51st world cup our champions Kim Hyok Bong and Kim Jong met the same rival in the semi-quarter finals. Our boy and girl went in for the games with some knowledge and experience.

The Hong Kong team, however, kept hitting hard upon us from the first round. We lost the first three rounds. After the third round, our coach called for one-minute break and instructed our champions to be more brave and positive in the attack.

When they did as instructed, the Hong Kong players began drawing back, and our boy and girl kept delivering hard blows, winning all the rest rounds.

In the finals our team had the match with south Korean team. From the very beginning, our team hit hard upon the rival, giving the rival no breathing spell, and won the three rounds. But the rival team, winner of all games up to the finals, was not willing to give up on the half way.

As the game reached the 6th rounds, our coach asked for a break.

Soon the game resumed. There was an apparent change in tactics. Our players continued their hard attacks on the rivals, ending the game in the 6th round.

The world title in the mixed doubles went to our players, Kim Hyok Bong and Kim Jong, and our national flag was raised aloft, displaying the honor of socialist Korea all around the world.

So I had ignored north Korea's short and medium missile launches, and their plan to have another nuclear test, but it is that time of year again. Swear they are like 5 o'clock Charlie from MASH

Guess they have been feeling neglected with the Olympics and Putin taking the spotlight the past few months.

All lies! Glorious leader will triumph over all!

I know this isn't really actually funny, but it made me laugh. It seems like some Monty Python skit or something. Clearly, Mr. Hyon was not very good at the Art of Not Being Seen:

North Korea executed its defense chief by putting him in front of an anti-aircraft gun at a firing range, Seoul's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers, which would be the latest in a series of high-level purges since Kim Jong Un took charge.

Hyon Yong Chol, who headed the isolated nuclear-capable country's military, was charged with treason, including disobeying Kim and falling asleep during an event at which North Korea's young leader was present[.]

North Korea is just crazy. Scary crazy.

Well no confirmation about a nuke but I am willing to bet we still have confirmation that Kim's pants are still on fire.
