North Korea's foreign propaganda media recently released a video targeting presidential candidates, mentioning issues in our politics.
The content or form is a bit out of the ordinary, but the intention seems clear.
Reporter Kim A-young reports what North Korea's inner world is.
<Reporter> This
is a video released on the 19th by North Korea's foreign propaganda media, “With Our People”.
While referring to former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who is considered the leading presidential candidate in the opposition, he happily summoned Ahn Cheol-soo, head of the National Assembly.
['With our people' (North Korean propaganda media): (CEO Ahn Cheol-soo) Has the approval rating ever floated like a balloon mocking gravity?] The
propaganda media in North Korea are frequently sending out messages hitting opposition players.
[You say it shines and then disappears?
So, you mean I'm a star?]
Four years ago, at the time of the presidential election, we held a
slander
against conservative runners.
Oil eel was poured out to former President Ban Ki-moon, and to candidates Hong Joon-pyo and Yoo Seung-min were clowns.
Passports are no exception to mockery.
Immediately after the last re-election, they slandered the results of the by-election and criticized the passports.
['With our people' (North Korean propaganda media): It is said that it is a hardened custom to pour out false promises in the election season like a bean bag. (This) the supplementary election is solely for the maintenance of power and usurpation... .]
Propaganda media reports, which are inferior to state-run media reports, are not regarded as the official position of North Korea, so neither the Korean government nor politicians have responded.
However, it is a clue to knowing North Korea's intentions or intentions.

Focusing on diplomatic and security issues such as the ROK-US joint exercise and the ROK-US alliance is also interpreted as a way to attract attention in Korea.
