North Korea's state radio has recently broadcast strings of indecipherable numbers in a possible move echoing a Cold War-era method of sending coded messages to spies operating in South Korea.
A female announcer at the radio station read numbers for two minutes on June 24 and 14 minutes on Friday, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry and National Intelligence Service, including phrases such as 'turn to page 459, question 35' in what she described as a mathematics assignment.
During the Cold War, Pyongyang sent such numbers via shortwave radio to give missions to agents dispatched to South Korea, according to captured North Korean spies.

I can surmise that Kim is ordering his double naught spies to steal South Korean designs for fashion, hair-styles, and electric lighting in order to advance his country after years of oppression has left the dictatorship lagging the free world. The shoe-phone must be on the fritz.
