Mokran Video Co., Ltd. (๋ชฉ๋๋น๋ฐ์ค์ฌ๋ ๊ตญ๋ด์ธ์)[1] commonly known as Mokran Video (Hangul: ๋ชฉ๋๋น๋ฐ์ค) 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 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
Among the contents produced by Mokran Video, the most popular are the stage art works such as music, movies, and speech props from North Korea. 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]
As of 2012, there were about 50 Mokran video sales offices in Pyongyang, and newly recorded DVDs and CDs were supplied to stores all over the country in North Korea.[7][8]
In 2011, Mokran Video started selling and distributing North Korea's movies and music online through Kuk Jae Movie Video Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong. Two years after that, in November 2013, the homepage of Mokran Video was deleted.[9]
Controversy
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 other 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]
