Yang Seung-shik

Ri Chun-hee(age:68,) the star anchorwoman of N. Korea's Korea Central TV, has not been seen on screen for over 50 days, it has been confirmed.

Her absence is quite unusual. As a star anchor for 40 years, she had been reporting major stories such as activities of N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported on Dec. 12 that she was last seen on Oct. 19 news broadcast. Since then, she has been absent.

Either they hired her at CNN, or she is Obama’s new press spokesperson!

If she has been around 40 years, perhaps she has taken ill?

That is one of the other young announcer-bitches in the photo. Pyongyag Patty would however be much older than her. My guess is that she just retired. My other guess is that pic is of Wonsan Wanda...30 to 40 year old range...but just as vile, nasty and toxic.

If the people ever revolt and topple that regime, these announcers will be the first ones strung up.

Whoa.

So news anchors in North Korean use a similar inflection to the samurai in Akira Kurosawa films?

Interesting.

I was just waiting for her to say, “Now drop and gimme twenty, comrade maggot!”
