What we cover
Whether you need insights into the latest leadership reshuffle, policy changes emerging from a New Year’s speech, or the implications of the latest U.S.–DPRK summit meeting, you will always find it in NK PRO analysis.
Event-driven: Rapid-fire and in-depth analysis on breaking news — summits, weapons tests, bombshell reports and statements — faster than our competitors, to keep you well-prepared for your next briefing.
Trend-driven: Our proactive analysts also read between the lines to identify new trends and issues of importance. We flag these for you, as and when they emerge, across a diverse range of issues.
Primary source: NK PRO brings together the latest developments in the political, business, legal, and infrastructure sectors, written by leading journalists in the field. We specialize in primary source-driven reporting, relying heavily on informed sources, data analysis, and satellite imagery.
Social proof
When you have too much information and when information is conflicting, the ground truth is the deciding factor. NK PRO provides its subscribers with that ground truth.
NK PRO is the most comprehensive and accurate source of information and analysis on North Korea (in English, at least) seen by me during my 40-odd years of professionally dealing with Korean issues. I use it for everyday work as a reliable tool and became addicted.
NK PRO gives us both the real-time updates and the in-depth analysis we need to provide effective humanitarian assistance in North Korea. There's no better resource out there.
NK News is essential reading for any journalist covering North Korea. I don't know anybody seriously writing about North Korea who doesn't read it.
