Kim Jong-Un and his copywriting team, coming up with some cool new slogans. Image: KCNA.
“Let this socialist country resound with Song of Big Fish Haul and be permeated with the fragrant smell of fish and other seafoods!”
The list of new patriotic slogans just published by the government of North Korea is full of weird ones.
“Coal-miners!” is the most succinct.
And “Let us turn ours into a country of mushrooms by making mushroom cultivation scientific, intensive and industrialized!” is perhaps the weirdest of them all. Are we talking the magic ones? Because Pyongyang is not on the top of our list of places to trip psilocybin.
They’re short and sweet, as if crafted to tweet. “Make fruits cascade down and their sweet aroma fill the air on the sea of apple trees at the foot of Chol Pass!”
Have they been reading Buzzfeed or Upworthy headlines? These read like readymade memes.
What do they mean, bae? IDK, but their copywriting is on fleek.
BBC News tries to grok it here.

• Let us bring about a great turn in the inter-Korean relations in this year that marks the 15th anniversary of the June 15 Joint Declaration!
• Let the whole nation turn out and write a new chapter in the history of inter-Korean relations in hearty response to the peerlessly great man's patriotic call!
• Let us determinedly thwart the military provocations and schemes of war games by the US and south Korean warmongers!
• Let us rise up in the nationwide struggle to drive the US imperialist aggressive forces, the root cause of national misfortune and war, out of south Korea!
• Let us resolutely frustrate the anti-DPRK "human rights" schemes by the US and its vassal forces!
• Let us hold fast to the principles of our foreign policy-independence, peace and friendship!
• Let us maintain the revolutionary principles and independent stand with all consistency in foreign relations!
• Let us develop foreign relations in a multilateral and proactive way, giving top priority to the dignity and interests of the country!
• Let us develop friendly and cooperative relations with all countries that respect the sovereignty of our nation and are friendly to us!
• All Party members, officers and men of the People's Army and people!
• An opening salvo of the general offensive for the 70th anniversaries of national liberation and Party founding has been fired.
• The revolutionary spirit of Paektu, the spirit of the blizzards of Paektu and the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners' call to keep the revolutionary faith even if one may die, stir up further the confidence in sure victory and fighting spirit of our service personnel and people, who are charging forward along the road of Juche against all odds, and inspire loyalty and passion in the advancing ranks.
• No force can check this sweeping advance of the service personnel and people, who are marching in fine array arm-in-arm, shoulder-to-shoulder, following the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, a great man of Paektu.
• The flags bearing the beaming images of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il will fly forever in the van of our revolutionary ranks that achieve only victory and glory, and always inspire us to fresh victories.
• All forward towards the venue of victory celebration!
• Long live the great victory in the anti-Japanese war and the 70th anniversary of national liberation!
• Long live the 70th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea!
