The standard view of propaganda in North Korea is that it is based on the Juche ideology and the promotion of the Workers' Party of Korea. Many pictures of the national leaders are posted throughout the country. In previous decades, North Korean Propaganda was crucial to the formation and promotion of the cult of personality centered around the founder of the totalitarian state, Kim Il-sung.

Why does North Korea use propaganda?
North Korea is not the only country that uses propaganda. Every country in the world does; it is just much harder to recognize propaganda in your own country. We notice North Korean propaganda because it is more ridiculous and overstated than most countries' propaganda. The reason North Korea uses propaganda is to create a society less willing to revolt against the North Korean government. Currently, the North Korean government starves many of its own people, lacks any serious internet capabilities, requires all of its citizens to belong to the Juche religion (worshiping the previous leaders of North Korea like gods), and place hundreds of thousands of prisoners in camps. Any sensible group of people under those conditions would at least consider rebellion. However, the North Korean government has carefully calibrated the propaganda machine in its own country to "inform people" that the world outside of North Korea is significantly worse and the US, South Korea, and Japan are all conspiring to hurt the North Korean people. In this way, the tyrannical North Korean government looks like a hero as opposed to the monstrous villain that it is.
Did propaganda work?
Propaganda is not always effective, but it can be. One needs to look no further than right now in North Korea, where the people are constantly berated with anti-American propaganda and are kept submissive by it.
What is the propaganda village?
"Peace Village", is a village in North Korea. It is situated in the North's half of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. The official position of the North Korean government is that the village contains a 200 family collective farm, serviced by a childcare center, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, and a hospital. But we all know that it is empty. It is used as propaganda in loud speakers in the DMZ.

Did South Korea invade North Korea.?
No. Definitely not. It was North Korea who invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950. Unfortunately, North Korean Propaganda continues to put forward the ridiculous message that they were attacked by South Korea and tortures and/or kills those in its borders who say otherwise.
Was it north Korea that invaded south Korea or was it south Korea that invaded north Korea?
North Korea invaded South Korea. Exactly, the Korean war started by North Korean army's attack to the 38th parallel (a line of latitude used to divide the Korean Peninsula) at about 4AM on June 25, 1950. However, North Korean propaganda claims that South Korea attacked first. (No country outside of North Korea agrees with this view.)

What is the propaganda village inside north Korea?
The Peace Village in North Korea, called the Propaganda Village by South Korean and Western observers, is a small village with brightly painted buildings and a large North Korean flag within the demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea. As a result, South Koreans have argued that the town is created primarily with the purpose of propagandizing the situation in North Korea. Most observers doubt that the town is even occupied by anything more than a government-paid caretaker force.

Does the government in north korea have the support of its citizens?
Whether or not the North Korean people support the Kim Dynasty is hotly debated by experts on North Korea. The North Korean government uses incredibly high levels of propaganda and totalitarian repression over the people and most North Korean citizens will say that they do support the Kim Dynasty. However, the debate comes from whether or not (1) North Koreans are genuinely brainwashed into believing the propaganda or (2) North Koreans oppose the Kim Dynasty but will not state their true beliefs because they do not want to be tortured for speaking out against the regime.
What is the us doing in north Korea?
The US isn't really doing anything in North Korea at this time. There are no formal diplomatic relations between the two countries; North Korea is still technically at war with the US and South Korea (although the US never actually declared war on North Korea). North Korea is notorious for its desire to keep foreigners out, and its borders are well guarded. North Korea also refuses to accept trade or even foreign aid from the US. However, North Korea has a large military and nuclear weapons, and their friend and neighbor China is very powerful, so the US does not have the option of militarily attacking North Korea. So there really isn't much going on between the two countries, except occasional threats or small scale military actions. Hatred of the US and its allies is a major propaganda that the North Korean military uses to keep itself in power, which is why you often hear about North Korea threatening the US, South Korea and Japan.
