주요내용 While there was no New Year’s address by Kim Jong Un again this year, both commercial satellite imagery and North Korean media show that thousands of Pyongyang residents filled Kim Il Sung Square on New Year’s Eve for a concert to ring in 2021. This is the second year in a row that Kim has skipped his annual New Year’s speech—similar to the US State of the Union address—raising questions about whether this tradition may be coming to an end. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Taedong River, preparations have been stepped up for what is expected to be at least one or more parades in the coming days as part of the Eighth Party Congress proceedings.
