Kim Jong-un’s North Korea Shocks the World by Broadcasting South Korea’s Soccer Match for the First Time in an Attempt to Humiliate Them

The differences between North and South Korea are very apparent to the world. While the world is enjoying the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, North Korea somehow found a way to humiliate its southern neighbors. The news came days after the reports of the public execution of college students by North Korean officials who distributed Korean dramas. North Korean state TV aired matches from the World Cup and it was more like a humiliation tactic.

South Korea made history by reaching the round of 16 after shocking everyone by defeating Portugal. Fans had high hopes for the Korean team, but in their first knockout match, they came face to face against Brazil. The Korean team didn’t present any sort of challenge and got beaten 4-1.

North Korea broadcasts South Korea’s loss to Brazil

According to reports, Korean Central Television (KCTV) has aired matches from this tournament, almost all of them. These matches come after a 2-3 days delay, but until now they haven’t aired any matches of the South Korean team. This decision not to air any match featuring South Korea changed when they lost to Brazil.

It is easy to say that North Korea tried its best to humiliate South Korea. But this is the first time KCTV has aired their match. Previously, North Korea usually didn’t air soccer matches featuring the South Korean team.

Experts are calling this whole shenanigan by North Korea ‘petty.’

While talking about this, Martyn Williams said, “It’s obviously not by chance that the one South Korean game shown is the one that put them out of the World Cup. It just shows pettiness, but that’s unfortunately something that is not unusual.”

Although KCTV did air the matches between the USA & Japan, even the one they won.
