I will continue talking with Ahn Jung-sik, a reporter specializing in North Korea.



Q. On the 110th anniversary of Kim Il-sung's birthday, what are the signs of provocation?



[Reporter Ahn Jung-sik, specializing in North Korea: Today is Kim Il-sung's 110th birthday.

Haven't they been firing missiles since the beginning of this year?

So, around this year's Kim Il-sung's birthday, there have been many observations about whether there will be any kind of provocation, but since this week, there have been no special provocations yet.

However, preparations for the parade are still ongoing.

As the maintenance of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site and the Dongchang-ri long-range rocket launch site continues, provocations are possible at any time.]



Q. What events did Kim Jong-un attend this week?



[Reporter Ahn Jung-sik, specializing in North Korea: Kim Jong-un, General Secretary, attended two big events this week.

One was the completion ceremony of Songhwa Street in Pyongyang, and the other was the completion ceremony of the attic housing district along the Potong River in Pyongyang.

Construction of Songhwa Street is the first project that North Korea promised to build 50,000 households for 5 years at an annual rate of 10,000 households since last year.

We started moving in with the completion ceremony on the 11th.

The attic housing district along the Potong River would be like a high-class terrace-style housing district in our terms, but here too, the completion ceremony was held on the 13th and we started moving in.

North Korea seems to be focusing on Kim Il-sung's birthday event this time to promote the achievements of Kim Jong-un while showing off his construction achievements.]



Q. What gift did North Korean announcer Ri Chun-hee receive?



[Reporter Ahn Jung-sik, specialized in North Korea: Ri Chun-hi is a representative announcer of North Korea's Chosun Central TV, which appears every time he delivers important news about Kim Jong-un.

He is 79 years old this year, and he has received all of North Korea's major awards and titles, such as the Kim Il-sung Award and the People's Broadcasting Service.

He was awarded a luxury terrace house on the riverside in Pyongyang.

Kim Jong-un took Li Chun-hi's hand and went to the house he was assigned to, and took a picture with his family.

He congratulated him for delivering the party's voice for over 50 years, starting from when he was a flower girl.

Viewers may not have heard of the name Dongtaegwan.

He is famous for writing articles praising Kim Jong-un in the Rodong Sinmun.

I too am a journalist whose job is to write, but I don't think I'll be able to write an article praising someone on one page of a newspaper.

By the way, this person named Dong Tai-gwan is a person who writes a newspaper with similar content like Kim Jong-un is great.

It can be seen that he has a talent, and this person named Dongtaegwan was also awarded a luxury house.

If you look at this, it seems to be giving a message like this, that there is a reward for loyalty while giving luxury houses to the core class who are absolutely loyal to Kim Jong-un.]
