North Korea Today
Will Come Back with a New Look
Good
Friends has entered the eighth year since it first published North Korea Today,
a weekly newsletter dedicated to delivering the voices of North Korean people. When we began the newsletter, the focus of
international and domestic media was on the North Korean top leader and his
regime, and little attention was paid to ordinary people in North Korea. We, at Good Friends, thought listening to the
voices of North Korean residents and helping let them heard was a way to
contributing to the peaceful reunification of two Koreas. Therefore, we have focused our work on the
daily lives of North Korean people and disseminated how much internal change North
Korea was undergoing.
Meanwhile,
the inter-Korean relations and the surrounding international circumstances have
substantially changed as well as the Korean people’s perception of unification.
Now we need to take this transformative
momentum and turn it into an opportunity for peaceful reunification and new
development of the nation. The role of
North Korea Today needs to change as well. That said, we will suspend publication for a
short period of time and come back with a new look.
We
deeply appreciate your continued attention and support. Thank you, and see you soon.
