Start of morning broadcast on KCTV Pyongyang day after the announcement of the death of Kim Jong-Il. A patriotic and powerful program.

[@bee2k01]

pro tip: If the ladies are wearing black Hanboks (or Joseon-Oths in this case), then some big shit involving death just happened.

[@MartiC988]

I think it was Kim Jong-il's death.

The ladies' hanboks are half-colored pink half-colored black if the news is normal.
