According to Yonhap News, as North Korea recently launched a rocket successfully, the North Korean regime is attempting to foster citizen’s pride in the younger scientists and engineers. In particular, the propaganda has focused on those under 40 years of age.
On the 21st, North Korea’s Rodong Shinmun said that the scientists and engineers in their 30s and 40s, who were educated thoroughly in the Juche ideology, were great contributors to the advanced science technology in the country. Also, the newspaper focused on the fact that there are many intelligent people in their 20s and 30s in North Korean. Lastly, there were strong suggestions that the intellectual success of the young was because there were not any young people who studied abroad.
Yonhap News reported that this situation is related to young Kim Jong Eun’s succession.
