Next, we’ll be looking at the second half of the Anti-USA posters.
I am impressed with your translations. I have traveled to the North three times to photograph the propaganda art. I have put the link on the website link here (Flickr user Zaruka)
If you would like you can link to these photos. I am interested in any translation of these signs as I am photographing them faster than my Korean friends can translate them. I plan to return in November. I just returned from the DPRK 2 weeks ago and I am still processing photos.
Have a look and enjoy. Love your website.

I’ll definitely take a look!
Even though it’s of course offensive that last photo is pretty clever. Whoever drew that should be rehired.
I said ” stop the war between north Korean and south Korean”, let the children live in peace, dont implant inside them the angry, the revenge.Stop the war, stupid adults. tthey dont really care about us.
I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for excellent info I was looking for this information for my mission.
I didn’t know where to post this so I’ll just do it here. Did you watch the stuff VBS shot in North Korea?
