Ever wanted to know when to celebrate North Korean Machine Worker’s Day? How about the most important holiday in North Korea, Day of the Sun? Veteran North Korea watchers and Korean journalists know that the best way to predict what will happen in North Korea is to look at their calendar. What’s that you ask, without a (possibly permanent) trip to Pyongyang, how can we purchase such a valuable tool? KoreaBANG has partnered with NK News to provide a low-cost option for our Korea-curious readers. Just use the code “koreabang1213” to take $5 off, for a final price of $19.99. As part of our long tradition here at koreaBANG of not making a profit, we won’t make any money off sales, but you will get a great present in time for the most anti-communist of all holidays, Christmas!!!
