(목란비데오사는 국내외의)[1] commonly know as Mokran Video (Hangul: 목란비데오) is a North Korean state-owned enterprise company established in December 1992 by the Mokran Kwangmyong Company.[2] The company owns the copyright of the video works of the North Korea, and is in charge of producing and selling recorded recordings for the works.[3] It is the only home video distributor authorized to operate in the country.[4]
Summary[edit]

In the 2000s, foreign languages for children and adolescents, as well as DVDs for learning, and media containing the latest economic and technological achievements.[5][6]

Controversy[edit]
The company has been accused of illegal distribution of Disney movies in North Korea, something to which Disney has refused to respond.[10] According to Radio Free Asia on July 7, 2017, the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang told them that Mokran Video's store is selling Walt Disney's The Lion King, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Kung Fu Panda and others foreign movies in an illegal way at the price of 3,000 to 6,000 North Korean won.[11][12] Mokran stopped selling foreign media according to a RFA report, due to an order given by Kim Jong-un to try to avoid foreign influence in the country.[13]
