Take a look at these images (all real, I checked) and tell me this isn’t fucked up

South Korea is a country still technically at war. For over 70 years, we have lived under an uneasy armistice, and North Korea continues to threaten us with missile launches and nuclear expansion.
Yet how does one of Korea’s major public broadcasters, MBC, report on this reality?
In recent coverage of North Korea’s military parade and nuclear show of force, MBC used headlines such as:
“이거 막을 수 일갔어? ‘더 쎈’ 핵미사일 ‘턱’”
“Can We Even Stop This? Boom — a Stronger Nuke Missile Lands.”
“핵공격 무기 총동원!!!”
“All-out mobilization of nuclear strike weapons!!!”
“밤축제로 꾸민 대규모 열병식”
“A night festival-themed grand parade”
“남북 동포와 손 맞잡길”
“Wishing to hold hands with fellow Koreans”
These headlines portray enemy aggression as celebration, and military threats as symbols of peace or reconciliation. Framing a hostile military display as a sign of ‘dialogue’ or ‘hope’ is not journalism — it is distortion of reality and a grave threat to national awareness.
If peace is truly the goal, the media should report positively when North Korea lays down its weapons and comes to the table, not when it sharpens its blades and shows off missiles aimed at the South.
What MBC is doing now is not simple bias — It is a dereliction of journalistic duty, where ideological narratives override public safety and national interest.
We must ask:
Whose side is MBC on?
Since when is broadcasting an enemy’s military parade part of a public broadcaster’s mission?
A public media outlet should never act as a mouthpiece for a hostile dictatorship. We need to see accountability, transparency, and above all, public scrutiny of this deeply concerning trend.
