Anti-Kim Jong Un messages written on currency notes, scattered
Kim Chae Hwan  |  2016-12-19

Dozens of 5,000 KPW bills with anti-Kim Jong Un slogans written on them were found littering the streets of downtown Hoeryong City, North Hamgyong Province. The incident coincides with reports that leaflets and graffiti criticizing Kim Jong Un were discovered in Ryanggang Province’s Pochon County and North Hamgyong Province’s Chongjin City.

“At the beginning of December, dozens of 5,000 KPW bills with messages such as ‘Overthrow Kim Jong Un’ and ‘Punish Kim Jong Un’ were found scattered on the streets in Hoeryong’s Nammun-dong district,” a source from North Hamgyong Province reported during a telephone call with Daily NK on December 16. “The person used a ballpoint pen to scrawl the messages over the image of Kim Il Sung.”

The Nammun-dong area is only 1.5 kilometers away from the Tumen River, which divides North Korea and China, and is popular for its restaurants and Nammun Market, which attracts daily crowds. For this reason, the area might be viewed as an effective location for anti-regime propaganda efforts.
