North Korea broadcast a random number (亂 數) that is presumed to be used as a command for the Nampa Institute via YouTube.

On the 29th, a video titled ‘0100011001-001’ was posted on the YouTube account of Pyongyang Broadcasting, an external radio outlet.

In the video, the announcer said: “Dude, I will inform you about basic information technology review assignments for distance education colleges for 719 expeditionaries.” “Page 564 23, p. “I read the number combinations.

He then concluded the broadcast of approximately 1 minute and 5 seconds, saying, “I have informed you of the basic review task for the 719 expedition members. This is Pyongyang.”

This video was posted on the Pyongyang Broadcasting YouTube account and surpassed 14,000 views as of 3:45 pm on the same day.

This is believed to be the first time that North Korea has broadcast a random number via YouTube.

North Korea has generally broadcast random numbers via radio broadcasts through Pyongyang Broadcasting. Even this year, random number broadcasts were held on March 7 and 13. This random number transmission was not broadcast by radio.

Random number broadcasts have been broadcast since the early 1980s. Until December 2000, random numbers were broadcast for 30 minutes starting at midnight on Pyongyang Broadcasting, a unique medium for Pyongyang’s psychological warfare with North Korea. The broadcast sent a random number after the keynote speech of “Pyongyang’s older father sends it to his nephew in Seoul.”

The random number was repeated for 15 minutes to make sure the recipient entered it correctly. As Internet use gradually increased in Korea, Pyongyang Broadcasting stopped broadcasting random numbers.

Then this time, a random number was broadcast via ‘Internet YouTube’. It is not known for what purpose North Korea sent the random number broadcast on Saturday the 29th.
