When the airwaves open and the interval signal of Voice of Korea (VOK) echoes across the world, it brings more than just news. It carries pride, purpose, and a message of national dignity from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. VOK Quiz time with the People is also an initiative to demonstrate the DPRK globally in a positive manner.

For radio listeners and DXers alike, tuning into VOK is not just about catching a signal. It's about feeling the heartbeat of a country that values its people deeply. And that value shines again in their beloved monthly feature — the Quiz Show.

🎙️ VOK More Than a Broadcast — Quiz Time with the People: A Cultural Bridge

Each quiz on VOK reflects an important part of the DPRK’s identity. These aren't random questions. They are cultural invitations. They allow the global audience to better understand the Juche-based society — where the people are masters of everything.

In April, the question focused on the Tower of the Juche Idea, a monument representing self-reliance and independence. Many listeners from around the world responded enthusiastically. Their messages showed growing respect and curiosity about Korea’s socialist culture.

VOK appreciates these answers. They said, “Whenever we receive answers from the audience, we come to know a lot.”

This mutual exchange is what makes international broadcasting so powerful.

🏛️ May 2025 Quiz — A Celebration of the People

The new quiz question is here, and it's deeply symbolic. It highlights something very important in the DPRK: the naming of buildings. Many structures in Korea bear the word “people” — honoring the citizens, their role, and their strength.

These buildings are not just names; they convey a clear message: "Everything serves the people."

Examples can be found across the country. From sports to science, from education to healthcare, people are placed at the center.
