"지도가 왜 이래?" 김일성 영상도 조작..북한서 무슨 일 / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor Evidence has been confirmed that North Korea is tampering with historical records to align with its stance of "two hostile states." Scenes featuring Kim Il-sung or Kim Jong-il are no exception. Reporter Kim A-young reports. Reporter This is a 70-minute documentary film praising Kim Il-sung, aired by Korean Central Television on the 8th, the 32nd anniversary of his death. This scene shows Kim Il-sung examining a globe with foreign dignitaries. If you look closely, the North and South are colored differently on the map of the Korean Peninsula. We confirmed a video with the same title that North Korea aired in 2017. The Korean Peninsula is depicted in a single color, a shade of red. While all other elements of the film remain the same, only the colors of the North and South on the map have been changed. North Korea, which amended its constitution last March to create a new territorial clause and completely removed expressions related to unification, appears to have gone so far as to engage in manipulation by overwriting past footage. Complete editing techniques were also employed. The scene where Kim Il-sung receives a flag inscribed with "Unification" as a gift from a foreign dignitary, and the scene where Kim Jong-il looks at a wall map that includes the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, were completely deleted from this broadcast. Assessments suggest that this reveals a calculation to retroactively apply the "theory of two hostile states" to the eras of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il by destroying records related to "unification" from the previous generation. [Cho Seong-ryeol / Visiting Professor, Kyungnam University: Rather than the concept that they were one and then divided into two, I believe they intend to re-establish their history, the history of the anti-Japanese resistance movement, and the history of the nation's founding by portraying them as originally separate states.] Videos praising Kim Il-sung are no exception to the targets of historical manipulation by North Korea; analysis suggests this is based on the judgment that they do not want to instill the very concept that "the North and South are compatriots" in the younger generation.
