Well, you can!

For the third year running, we're hosting our annual "North Korea from a Near Distance".

I've had lots of questions about it, so let me answer here:

https://t.co/KKLTtmfWK3 https:

@nknewsorg: ICYMI: By forsaking unification, North Korea also abandoned the South’s radical left

"The regime’s sudden policy change...is likely to make it harder for the DPRK to find comrades and collaborators in South Korea and beyond," writes @andreilankov. https://t.co/MKBZeNxtMH

@nknewsorg: ICYMI: Will North Korea invade South Korea in the near future?

"South Korea holds a significant advantage in conventional weaponry, and North Korea appears highly unlikely to use nuclear arms at present," writes @andreilankov. https://t.co/8R4tHWp0B7 https://t.co/pcA6BRqs2L

@nknewsorg: PODCAST: In this week's podcast, Korea Risk Group Director @andreilankov and NK News Data Correspondent Anton Sokolin join @JaccoZed to review everything that happened during Kim Jong Un’s trip to Russia, his first outside the country in some four years. https://t.co/1BLJow5Nwd

@nknewsorg: ARCHIVE: In Sept. 1973, Pyongyang's first subway opened, almost one year before Seoul's subway system commenced operation.

"This was important because, at the time, both Korean states took such competition seriously," writes @andreilankov.

@nknewsorg: ICYMI: After an American soldier dashed into North Korea, it remains unclear when tourists will be able to visit the JSA.

“They need to decide whether they are willing to tolerate the risk of this happening again,” @andreilankov told NK News.https://t.co/W1kUAXGOcj

@nknewsorg: How did the Kim Il Sung assassination plan shift to target President Park Chung-hee?

"As Unit 684’s existence was a state secret, authorities claimed that North Korean special forces were attempting to infiltrate the city," writes @andreilankov.
