This is a continuation of the North Korean propaganda series.  Click here for the table of contents.

Any blockade will not block us!
그어땐 봉쇄도 우리 앞길 막지 봇한다!

Keep the red flag though life or death!
살아도 죽어도 붉은기를 끝까지 지키자!

As heroes who would sacrifice their bodies!
육탄영웅.자폭용사로!

If they come even an inch into our air, land or water,
we are serious and they will not be forgiven!
우리의 령토 령해 령공을 0.001 미리라도 침범하면
추호도 용서치 않을것이다!

Our missile plans will ensure peace and safety!
우리의 미싸일 계획은 세계 평화와 안전의 담보이다!

Sledge hammers: Anti-foreign powers 반외세 / Anti-imperialism 반제 / Anti-puppets 반괴뢰
Phrase: 전민족적인 범위에서
반외세 반제 반괴뢰
반외세자주화투쟁을 함있게 벌리자!

민족대단결로
외세와 분렬주의세력을 때려부시자!

Let’s all be soldiers!
누구나 다 병사시절을 거치자!

혁명의 수뇌부를 결사수화하는 성새가 되고 방패가 되자!

For the General! Sacrifice your body with a do-or-die resolve!
장군님을 위하여! 육탄.결사대앞으로!

Not even one bastard can enter!
 한놈도 들어올 수 없다!

Now that I’m back in the US, I figure I’ll bestow some of my eatery knowledge to anyone who wishes to find some good resteraunts around the SNU area!  Here’s my map for the Nokdu Street / Shillim Goshichon area:

Enjoy!

KBS pays foreigners almost nothing for Misuda

I thought I’d write a post which would blow your mind!

How much do the foreigners make on the new 미녀들의 수다 (Misuda, the global talk show with foreign beauties) replacement?

200,000 Won per episode?

500,000 Won?

Even more!?

Nope … 100,000 per episode.

Yep, pretty much nothing.  I was pretty surprised when I found that out.  This is first hand info by the way, I was offered a contract.  Pretty much the only reason to go on the show is to be able to say you’re on the show since the money is next to nothing.
