North Korea Launches Applause Monitoring System.

Pyongyang announced a big change for its parliament. The government bought one million new microphones. These microphones will record the clapping at meetings.

The microphones will measure how loud and good the clapping is. This will help find people who do not clap well. The government wants to make sure everyone is happy and supports the leaders.

The minister said they used to listen to the clapping. Now, every clap will be counted and checked. Clapping that is not loud or on time will be seen as not being loyal.

A special center will study the clapping. They will check how fast, together, and emotional the claps are. If someone is not clapping correctly, they might have to work in a mine.

They plan to use a ranking system for clapping. The loudest and longest claps will get prizes. The prizes include certificates, trips, and more internet time.
