The magazine focuses on cultural and industrial progress made in the country.[7] It also publishes North Korea short stories.[8] Copies of the magazine are handed out to tourists on flights into the country.[9]
The magazine was initially published in Russian only.[5] Today, it is published in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.[4]
The magazine was first published as New Korea (Russian: Новая Корея) in January 1950[5] by the New Korea Publishing House,[10] the predecessor of the Foreign Languages Publishing House.[11] Since 1959, it has been published as Korea Today.[2]
In December 1955, Son Din-fa,[12] the chief editor of New Korea, was dismissed from his post and convicted to manual labor after drawing influences of de-Stalinization from the Soviet Union and criticizing the personality cult of Kim Il-sung.[13]
