Free North Korea Radio (FNKR) is a short-wave radio station founded in 2004 by Kim Seong Min, a North Korean defector living in South Korea. It was set up after the South Korean government stopped broadcasting messages of freedom into North Korea under its "Sunshine" policy of conciliation.
FNKR broadcast one hour twice a day, 365 days a year, in North Korean dialects. Its small staff, almost all exiles, used pseudonyms. A network of stringers inside North Korea interviewed ordinary citizens using small digital recorders, phones with prepaid Chinese SIM cards and Chinese memory sticks, transferred hand-to-hand back to Seoul. The station received American funding and help transmitting its programmes.
