Look ,personally I want this to be perfect ,to include every single detail not mentioned about the DPRK in the west ,also no I’m not gonna tell you how I have contact with a DPRK diplomat ,please ask sincere questions and remember this is a DPRK diplomat, not a citizen so there is stuff that they can’t answer and stuff that they aren’t allowed to answer

If my friend from the DPRK replies ,I will update you but this is for someone else ,I’ve acquired a lot of important info on the DPRK that I want to share with all of you and this is so that it could be perfect ,please ask good questions

This might have been asked before, and it might also be silly (I am not the most informed about NK) but is the juche calendar actually used? If so is it alongside the Gregorian calendar? Or is it the dominant calendar?

They switched to the Gregorian calendar a year ago for reasons unknown

Probably a computer science issue. Would need to convert a lot of dates in some code, especially for the military

Yeah I was especially curious how the juche calendar would lend itself towards a digital age where everyone else uses a different calendar

Was commonly used (ie in casual conversation) up until then? If so how smooth has the transition been away from the juche calendar?

I have absolutely no idea ,the representative told me he will continue tomorrow,I’ll begin by asking him that
