I wouldn't be surprised if this is fake, I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. Either way fuck the "DPR"K

This is nknews.org, literally an anti-DPRK propaganda outlet funded by the USA through the NED. Of course it's fake.

This kind of website has nothing to do on this community because it isn't news.
