What happened to Naenara and .kp?
Is anyone else out there having trouble accessing the Naenara site (aside from those of you in South Korea)?
The North Korean web service, Naenara (Wikipedia page here, though not much info), used to be posted on two domains: Kcckp.net and Naenara.kp. It looks like these sites are down—as well as their foreign language services: /en (English), /fr (French), /ja (Japanese), /ru (Russian), /ko (Korean), /ch (Chinese).
In addition, the Korea Education Fund site is also down (http://www.koredufund.org.kp/). I picked up one of their brochures last time I visited the DPRK and posted it here.
..and the Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (CCRFC or Taemun) web page is also down: http://www.friend.com.kp/
A quick search of the .kp domain (The DPRK’s country level domain assigned by ICANN) reveals only three other functional web pages:
1. The domain registry lookup site: http://kcce.kp/
2. KPNIC domain registration guidelines (which are well worth reading): http://www.kcce.kp/en_Guideline.php
3. And this document:
