Abstract
This study examined the characteristics of exposing Internet information during the Kim Jong-un reign, analyzing the material blocked in South Korea among Internet information directly and indirectly operated by North Korea for ten years from 2011 to 2020. North Korea has used the global internet as an official propaganda medium. Unlike traditional media outlets, it uses the internet for external propaganda, diplomatic functions, and counter-media warfare. Website types than SNS accounts are preferred. Among SNS, YouTube is used relatively more. The number of websites operating directly from servers in North Korea is steadily increasing, and the national code of North Korea ‘KP’ and national initial ‘DPRK’ in Internet addresses are often found. Internet information operated by North Korea is not well received by users and lags in content competitiveness due to restrictions on access rights for users and the hardening of information. Recently, some Internet information look softened, but to achieve the ‘informatization’ and ‘globalization’ that North Korea advocates, more efforts to expose itself on the Internet network if it wants to secure users.
