[imText1]Recently, there has been a rapid increase in listeners of the foreign radio broadcastings in North Korea while punishment for listening to the radio other than government broadcastings have loosened. <\/p>\n

Lee Young Ho, (pseudonym, age 33) from Chongjin, North Hamkyung province, said, “The number of houses listening to foreign radio around the border area reaches about five or six out of ten. It is easy to catch KBS (Korea Broadcasting System) and Far Eastern Broadcasting, and those who have short-wave radios usually listen to Radio Free Asia.”<\/p>\n

“I listened to Open Radio for North Korea around December 10th last year. When I heard that there had been a conference on North Korean human rights, I started to have faith.”<\/p>\n

Park Keum Chul, (pseudonym, age 26) said, \u201cI listened to VOA broadcasting. They said it is the Voice of America, but I was surprised to hear that it was in Korean. First I thought it was propagandistic radio, but I liked the content.\u201d He also testified that he has seen some Korean movies such as \u201cThe Son of the General\u201d, \u201cGangster\u2019s Wife\u201d and \u201cJoint Security Area\u201d and Korean soap operas such as \u201cAll In.\u201d <\/p>\n

Joo Eun Ok, (pseudonym, age 48) from Hyesan, Yangkang province, said, \u201cThose people who do business have to listen to the radio.Otherwise, we will go crazy and feel isolated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are caught listening to the radio, they confiscate all the electronics, but they do not go beyond that. Compare to the past, punishment is not as harsh.\u201d <\/p>\n

Following is the interview with three North Korean residents mentioned above in full text.<\/p>\n

\nLee Young Ho, Chongjin, North Hamkyong Province<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

– How many times did you visit China and for what purpose? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI visited \u201cNorth Korea\u201d 5-6 times a year since 1999, when I first defected. During my initial stay in China, Christian evangelists helped me and I converted to Christianity. Now I secretly evangelize in North Korea. Every time I visit North Korea, I take clothes, medicine, the bible and radios missionary organizations donate.\u201d <\/p>\n

– Which part of North Korea did you recently visit? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to North Korea on November 23 and came back out on December 20. I went to Onsung, North Hamkyung province, Chongjin, then to Hamheung and Wonsan in South Hamkyung province.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Tell us about the North Korean radio.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIn North Korea, you are suspected if you keep a radio to \u201clisten to programs other than the official North Korean one.\u201d Nobody does that. There is no one who will buy a radio just to listen to the single broadcasting from North Korean Central Broadcasting, which has nothing interesting. Most of the radios people have also have recorders. In principle, you have to report your radio to the security office to fix the channel. However, many take off the lock or never even report their radios to the police at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

– What is the rate of radio distribution you predict? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt differs from region to region. Border regions have many more houses that have radios compared to inner regions. This is because many have been to China. Those who have radios with recorders may be about 5 to 6 out of every ten houses. In Chongjin there are about 3 to 4 out of every 10 and in the regions in South Hamkyung, about 1 to 2. Those who are in the city have more than those in rural areas. <\/p>\n

I do not know how many of those who possess radios actually listen to them, but the increase in the number of those who possess radios also means an increase in the possibility that more people will listen to them carefully.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What do they mostly listen to?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is easy to catch KBS and Far Eastern broadcasting. Those who have short-wave radios usually listen to Radio Free Asia. Those who like entertainment listen to KBS and those who have received help from a church in China or have become Christians listen to Far Eastern broadcasting. Those who like listening to recent issues listen to RFA, but it seems like more and more people listen to RFA because KBS is not satisfying. <\/p>\n

– People listen to the radio secretly. How do you know what their tastes are? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the people who trust each other, they actually talk about the radio information as well. They talk about which program is better these days, and when and how they listen to it. I have a few people I can trust in each region and they know of other people who listen to the radio.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What do you mean by \u201cKBS is not satisfying\u201d? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThose people more interested in current issues are mostly unsatisfied with the North Korean regime. These days, KBS does not broadcast anything about that issue. Before, many defectors came out on KBS programs and broadcasted content giving hope [laugh] to North Korean people, but not anymore.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What do you mean by giving hope? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is simply telling the facts about North Korea as it is. When people hear it, they know it is true, they discover the situation they are in, and are encouraged to overcome their difficulties. I listened to Open Radio for North Korea around December 10, which was pretty satisfactory and encouraging in terms of content.\u201d <\/p>\n

– Where did you listen to Open Radio for North Korea and what was it about?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI listened to it around December 10 in Hamheung, South Hamkyung province. I heard that a conference on North Korean human rights was being held and I started to have a lot of hope. Hearing that people outside are working for North Korean human rights encourages us a lot.\u201d <\/p>\n

\nPark Keum Chul, North Hamkyung province<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

– What is the rate of radio distribution in North Korea? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI do not know exactly, but I know that many people listen to the radio in secret. When I was in college, 8 people shared one room, the other seven except me were from the border area. They all had a radio each. I listened to the radio with them.\u201d <\/p>\n

– Many people report to the police on what others do in North Korea. Is listening to the radio in a group like that not dangerous to you? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were young. So we trusted each other. We wrote blood vows and drank our mixed blood and vowed to each other to keep the secret before we listened to the radio together.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What did you mainly listen to? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe listened to anything we could catch on the radio. One of the roommates had a short wave radio made in Japan and that was the best. Another roommate had a radio from South Korea, and that one was pretty good too. We listened to KBS, Voice of Russia, and also VOA. They said it was the Voice of America, but we were surprised to hear that they broadcasted in Korean. At first, we thought it was propaganda from America, but the content was entertaining.\u201d <\/p>\n

– Did you listen to the radio recently?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI was busy after I became a school teacher, but ever since I watched a Korean movie, I became curious about the outside world, so I took out the lock in the radio and listened to the radio for a few months. In my class, there are a few students who are very knowledgeable about outside news and I certainly believe they listen to foreign news on the radio. We don\u2019t ask where they got the information from since we are all in the same situation anyway. In North Korea, there are many cases where you ruin your life because of your tongue (words).\u201d <\/p>\n

– Which South Korean movies did you watch? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw \u201cThe Son of the General\u201d when I was in college, and recently I watched movies such as \u201cGangster\u2019s Wife\u201d, \u201cNowhere to Hide\u201d, and \u201cJoint Security Area\u201d and soap operas such as \u201cFull House\u201d and \u201cAll In.\u201d I locked the door and put a double set of curtains and watched them in one night, so the next day I slept the whole day.\u201d <\/p>\n

\nJoo Eun Ok, Hyesan, Yanggang province<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

– It is said that there has been an increase in the number of people listening to radios in North Korea.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is right. Those who own businesses have to listen to the radio. Those people who have returned after visiting China become very curious about the outside world that they become nearly crazy if they don\u2019t listen to the radio. I listen to the radio too.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What do you mean by \u201cThose who own businesses have to listen to the radio\u201d?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThese days, if you wish to exchange dollars or Yuan in North Korea you have to know the exact rate. When you hear the exchange rate on the radio, you write it down and remember it. You listen especially carefully about the future aspect, whether it is likely to appreciate or depreciate. When they report the rate of the Yuan increase in South Korea, we also think it will increase in North Korea, so we start to buy the Yuan. That is important for those who run big businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n

– What happens when you get caught listening to the radio? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, you were considered a political criminal. Now, it is not like that. They confiscate all the electronics you have and that\u2019s about it. They take your TV, refrigerator, recorder and also impose some sort of fine. Although this is also a heavy punishment, compared to before, it is not as bad. However, if you are caught on the spot, you are charged of a political crime.\u201d <\/p>\n

– How much is the fine? <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends. It is like bribing them. You give them some boxes of cigarettes and give them about 15,000 Won, they could say you are OK. They say, \u201cDon\u2019t do it again,\u201d and cough a few times and let you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Have you seen anyone getting caught recently?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cA man in my People\u2019s Commune got caught last November. He was doing money business (money exchanger), so he had to listen to the radio to check the exchange rate. He gave them some money, and it looks like the problem did get solved.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
