News KCNA newswire uses ‘urgent’ label to tag skiing articleArticle once again stresses perceived importance of Tongcheon Special Economic Zone
SEOUL – The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) used its ‘urgent’ tag this morning to highlight an article containing an “appeal” from Kim Jong Un . The tag is usually reserved for more pressing issues – articles detailing the sentencing of U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae and the announcement of Choe Ryong Hae as a “special envoy” to Beijing were both filed with the tag in the last four weeks. “The construction of the skiing ground is such a huge project that it is hard for others to complete the project even in ten years,” the English-language version of the KCNA © Korea Risk Group.
