It has gained notoriety for threatening nuclear attacks on neighbouring South Korea and for having published an article endorsing US President Donald Trump during his election campaign in 2016.[1][2]

History

edit

On September 18, 2020, DPRK Today partnered with pro-North Korea propaganda site CEPS-BR (Songun Policy Studies Center - Brazil).[3]

DPRK Today has been offline since 11 January 2024, after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for a "fundamental turnaround" of North Korea's policy towards reunification and South Korea.[4]
