Abstract: Every society has a goal that it pursues. Kim Jong-un is also leading North Korea with a vision for the country. The national goal of North Korea is to build a strong socialist country. With this goal in mind, North Korea is striving to develop its science and technology. This study analyzes and evaluates the science and technology policies in the era of Kim Jong-un by examining North Korea’s <Rodong Sinmum>. The role of <Rodong Sinmun> is to convey the thoughts of Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un to the North Korean people. Therefore, this newspaper is the most suitable resource to understand the policies of the North Korean government. For the same reasons, <Rodong Sinmun> is considered the most vital resource in the research of North Korea. In addition, as North Korea is one of the most secluded areas in the world, there is a lack of appropriate literature sources to understand North Korea, and thus <Rodong Sinmun> is necessary. The research objectives of this paper are to understand the science and technology policies of North Korea in the era of Kim Jong-un by analyzing <Rodong Sinmun>, which was selected based on past studies. The purpose of this paper is to analyze this using text mining.
