A few months ago when I was sifting through the garbage dump r/EuropeanSocialists (Once in a while they have good translated DPRK resources otherwise very hard to find) I came across a mention of a site called Yaegihaja. The name means “Let’s Talk” in Korean and apparently it was a forum which claimed you could talk with actual north Koreans. It also claimed to be affiliated with the DPRK government. The site has also been mentioned on a few youtube channels, such as one called “SunhiPlays” which posts music videos and one just called “Yaegihaja” which uploaded a DPRK movie. Apparently the URL used to be yaegihaja.com but the website is now shut down and the Wayback Machine’s latest snapshot of the website is from April 2022, only showing the home page. Such a place existing is so bizarre and I can’t find more information on what it actually was. If you’ve heard of Yaegihaja please tell me everything you know because I am very curious about this matter.

Also apparently Uriminzokkiri had a Discord server? The DPRK rabbit hole goes deep.

    A lot of outwards-facing DPRK websites went offline after the WPK announced that it was abandoning reconciliation with the ROK, probably was apart of that wave

      Uriminzokkiri and DPRK Today were part of that wave. However I tried to go on Yaegihaja a few months before the purge and yaegihaja was down while Uriminzokkiri was still up.

    unfortunately I’ve never heard of it, but this did make think of something, have we ever tried reaching out to any AES states? i know we don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things because of how tiny we are so it would just be wasting their time to reach out but it would be kinda cool to be officially approved by one of them lol
