Except the files with Korean names in Backgrounds/* and Wallpapers/*, everything else seems to be generic.
Names of the said files ran through Google Translate, with some minor corrections to the English output (I don't know any Korean):
Dabaksol Guard Post Snowy Scene 다박솔초소의 설경
Sea of Potato Flowers in Taehongdan 대홍단의 감자꽃바다
Mt Paektu Sunrise 백두산의 해돋이
Beom'an-ri Scenery 범안리의 선경
Echo of Woollim Falls 울림폭포의 메아리
Night View of Changja River 장자강의 불야경
Azaleas of Cheoryeong 철령의 철쭉
The Horizon of the Handdreval 한드레벌의 지평선
Fly Higher 더 높이 날아라
Dandelion 민들레
Mt Paektu Heaven Lake 백두산천지
Blue Sky 푸른 하늘
Landscape Painting 풍경화
Edit: Incorporated corrections from @sanxiyn and @terrorOf below
- terrorOf 6y agocorrections: 다박솔초소의 설경 - snowy scene of guard post Dabaksol 장자강 - river(강) Changja [Zhangjiagang spelling looks very Chinese-y] 백두산 천지 - the crater lake on top of the mountain baekdu is called that
- 4cao 6y agoThank you for the corrections, I've edited the parent post. The lake on top of the Baekdu (Paektu?) Mountain appears to be called Heaven Lake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Lake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Lake (Not sure why your comment was downvoted but I vouched for it, so it's back now, hopefully for good.)
- sanxiyn 6y agoSouth Korea and North Korea use different romanization schemes. So for example, 대홍단 is properly romanized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taehongdan_County https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taehongdan_County. ("Agriculture is also key, with the county leading the nation in potato production.") Google Translate (as expected) seems unaware that it should use North Korean rominzation scheme to romanize North Korean place names.
- 4cao 6y agoI'm aware there are different romanization systems but not sure which is which. I've corrected Taehongdan. I guess it should say Paektu not Baekdu too? Update: Paektu appears to be the DPRK spelling. Source: http://sori.org/hangul/romanizations.html#Roman_Consonants http://sori.org/hangul/romanizations.html#Roman_Consonants
- Igelau 6y ago> Dabaksol Guard Post Snowy Scene That's the only one in the set that didn't let me down. It looks like someone took a Thomas Kinkade diner placemat and asked an 8 year-old to put some cannons on it.
- blacksmith_tb 6y agoAgreed, the birds are an especially nice touch[1] (clearly not doves of peace). 1: https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Backgrounds/images/%EC%84%A0%EA%B5%B08%EA%B2%BD/%EB%8B%A4%EB%B0%95%EC%86%94%EC%B4%88%EC%86%8C%EC%9D%98%20%EC%84%A4%EA%B2%BD.jpg https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Backgr...
- nrp 6y agoThose are 까치, Korean Magpie. It's a somewhat common and culturally important bird in Korea.
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoI can't stop laughing at this image. I keep telling myself it can't be real but it is. Also particularly fond of these sweet tractors. https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Backgrounds/images/%EC%84%A0%EA%B5%B08%EA%B2%BD/%ED%95%9C%EB%93%9C%EB%A0%88%EB%B2%8C%EC%9D%98%20%EC%A7%80%ED%8F%89%EC%84%A0.jpg https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Backgr...
- jonathankoren 6y agoAbout the only thing juche about these is Mt Paektu. The mountain is important in Korean folklore, and is featured prominently on North Korea’s seal. Due to its spiritual significance, it is the mythological birthplace of Kim Jong-il[0]. (He was actually born in the Soviet Union.)

- twic 6y agoNice picture of a country scene: https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Wallpapers/%EB%8D%94%20%EB%86%92%EC%9D%B4%20%EB%82%A0%EC%95%84%EB%9D%BC.jpg https://github.com/BlackOtton/RedStar-Media/blob/main/Wallpa...
