👧 north korea has a kids channel

sary voline is the name of a north korean youtuber. the channel has

  • about 12k subscribers

  • 6 videos on how life in NK is great

  • uploads starting from april 2022 to just last week

the star of the channel, song-a, is an 11 year old girl who loves harry potter and even has a british accent. she lives in pyeongyang (the capital of NK)

 

💁 why have a child youtuber?

this is not NK’s first attempt to show their propaganda on youtube. past channels include:

  • Korea Central TV

  • Red Star TV

  • Revolutionary Activities News

all of these channels broadcasted news programming made in north korea and were ultimately deleted by google a few years ago. this kids channel seems to be the regime’s latest attempt to show its propaganda to the outside world

💡 something im thinking about

recently watched the a24 horror film <men>. if you’re a fan of twisted and grotesque stuff i’d recommend it
