In an effort to thwart those evil Japanese the Rotun One has decreed the creation of Pyongyang time which will be 30 minutes behind the time zone forced upon them.
Local time in North and South Korea and Japan has been the same since Japan’s rule over what was single Korea from 1910 to 1945.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said on Friday that the establishment of “Pyongyang time” was aimed at rooting out the legacy of the Japanese colonial period.
The new time zone will take effect on 15 August – the 70th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese rule at the end of the second world war.
“The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land with 5,000-year-long history and culture and pursuing the unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation,” the KCNA dispatch said.
