North Korea reported on today (27th) the'New Houses' event in the Gumdeok district of South Hamgyeong Province in the Nodong Shinmun.

This is a massive report of an event in which new houses were built and residents moved in in an area that was turned into ruins by a typhoon last summer.

The Nodong Shinmun said, "It was a natural disaster... in a mountain gorge where traces of severe damage were strong, and now modern cultural houses everywhere are ecstatic," he said.



North Korea, which was severely damaged by typhoons this summer, has undergone extensive restoration work, and new houses in each region have reported the event as the main news.

Reports of the new houses broadcasted on Chosun Joongang TV show Gangbuk-ri (9/18), Geumcheon-gun, North Hwanghae Province (9/30), Pyeongwon-gun, South Pyongan (9/30), Sunan District, Pyongyang (10/5), Daecheong-ri, Eunpa-gun, Hwanghaebuk-do (10/17), Hongwon-gun, Hamgyeongnam-do (10/19), Cheorwon-gun, Pyeonggang-gun, etc. in Gangwon-do (10/25), Gimcheok-si, North Hamgyeong-do, Iwon-gun, Namgyeong-do (11/7), Gimhwa-gun, Gangwon-do (11/12), Samjiyeon-si, Yanggang-do (11/14), Eorang County, North Hamgyeong Province, Heocheon County, South Hamgyeong Province (November 23), and Geomdeok District (November 27, South Hamgyeong Province), and so on.




● The new housewarming event is a fun feast. The



new housewarming event involves mobilizing central or local party officials and residents dressed in hanbok, as well as a banquet hall with a Nong Band and a fun dance board for residents.

Residents are given a'visa card (certificate that can be purchased by entering the house)' and move into the house, and many residents are weeping with emotion.

The interviews with residents on Chosun JoongAng TV are very impressive, but the content of the interview, "Thank you, Marshal Kim Jong-un," does not seem exaggerated at all.

There's no reason not to be grateful for giving you a house for free.

In addition, it is also understandable that North Koreans pour out tears, as they even give basic household items such as dishes, blankets, and TV to those who receive their home for free.




In fact, it is not common these days to get a house ration in North Korea.

In the original socialist system, the state must provide rations, whether it is home or food, but this has been a long time ago, and now buying and selling houses is common.

Although private property is not recognized in North Korea, houses are sold in the form of buying and selling'visa cards'.



However, if the state provides a house in a policy manner under the interest of Chairman Kim Jong-un, like this'New Houses', traditional housing distribution is achieved.

In other words, it is a system in which home sales and distribution co-exist, but when the party is concerned, distribution can be a windfall.



As the residents who got their homes and basic homes for free, Chairman Kim Jong-un and the party are endlessly grateful, and they have no choice but to develop loyalty by themselves.

The fact that North Korea reported on the new housewarming event more than 10 times through the media can be seen as its intention to spread the loyalty of these residents.

It might be called'the politics of new homecomings'.




● North



Korea's Flood Restoration is Ending Although North Korea is said to have suffered triple incidence due to border closures and sanctions against North Korea due to flood damage, coronavirus, and flood damage recovery seems to have come to an end.

Until the middle of this month, the news of flood damage recovery, which had been widely reported on a daily basis, was remarkably reduced, and the'Sudo Party Division', which was dispatched to the provinces for recovery, also returned to Pyongyang on the 20th.



There are still a lot of things that are still incomplete, but since the massive new houses have succeeded to some extent in promoting the party's virtues to the residents through reports, it is time for Kim to take a sigh from the inside.

Now, the interest will be what kind of external message North Korea makes regarding the US regime change, but seeing that there has not been any reports on it even after Biden's election, it seems that North Korea's judgment on the changing external situation is not finished yet. .
