DPRK Today (Korean: 조선의 오늘 / 朝鮮의 오늘) is a Chinese-based pro-North Korean site sponsored by the government of North Korea. It has gained notoriety for threatening nuclear attacks on neighbouring South Korea and for having published an article endorsing US President Donald Trump during his election campaign in 2016.[1][2]

History

On September 18, 2020, DPRK Today partnered with pro-North Korea propaganda site CEPS-BR (Songun Policy Studies Center - Brazil).[3]

DPRK Today has been offline since 11 January 2024, after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for a "fundamental turnaround" of North Korea's policy towards reunification and South Korea.[4]
