I'd like to see some stuff that was produced by North Koreans in the original Korean, whether it be articles, propaganda, TV shows, whatever. As long as it was written/made NK people, particularly the government.
To start it off, here's a site with a bunch of NK videos along with other, unrelated stuff. It belongs to some guy who is apparently a foreigner clown on Japanese TV so there's Japanese commentary, but English subtitles, and you're free to try to understand the NK dialect as well as you can

EDIT - god. watch these videos. and then think about how these people have the bomb.
i'm going to go lie down now. |

| If somebody knew where to get their hands on selections from, or an entire, North Korean history textbook, I would perform any number of a sexual favors. Or not, depending on your tastes. |

My university library had a large number of North Korean history books and biographies of Kim Il Sung published in Pyongyang in English.
They also had these little propaganda booklets with inspiring titles like "Let's create socialist art in accordance with the principles of the Juche idea".
How you would get these books, I don't know. |

Can you post or PM the name of your Uni? Would greatly appreciate it. |

I went to the University of Western Sydney. The library had quite a lot of those books in the Asian history section, more in fact than books on South Korea, or general Korean history. And there were subject specific North Korean publications spread around in other sections, like the art one I mentioned before.
UWS' library was pretty crap (apparently a pile of books was buried on the uni grounds due to lack of storage space), so I imagine any decent university library would have a similar selection. |

this is catchy:

Such rich sad irony when they sing "우리는 하나, 언어도 하나, 문화도 하나, 력사도 하나". I'm thinking, "력사? What 언어 is that? And if I recall my 력사 correctly, aren't you guys split into 두 countries?" |

What I see is a korean melodrama about a woman mourning her b/f who died fighting the allied forces.
Didn't know waging war against communist forces is a war crime. |
