TOPSHOT - A collection of issues of Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's top newspaper, is displayed at the National Library of Korea in Seoul on January 2, 2026. Packed with missile tests, thunderous tirades against the United States and tributes to the glories of the great leaders -- for decades, Seoul considered North Korea's top newspaper so dangerous its citizens were banned from reading it. But dovish President Lee Jae Myung is now seeking to ease tensions with Pyongyang and has joked that he doesn't believe the public will "become commies" just from reading it. That means from this week South Koreans can access the Rodong Sinmun -- meaning "Workers newspaper" -- at select locations without state approval. (Photo by Jung Yeon-je / AFP)
