genesis
So .... I was surfing around on YouTube a while ago and stumbled upon a video featuring one of the Pyongyang Traffic Girls. I watched in curiosity as she performed a graceful ballet with automobiles, which she conducted from inside her little world defined by the white painted circle in the center of a not-so-busy intersection. It was a short video clip, but oddly …
Wistful of her previous status as an important cog in the machinery of the Peoples Republic, this traffic controller now has nothing to do but slowly stroll back and forth along the curb after the introduction of working traffic lights at street intersections in Pyongyang.
In this video, the empty and unneeded white painted circle on the street in the foreground - the traffic controllers former domain - forms a poignant symbol of passing as the traffic lady, devoid of purpose, meanders slowly beyond it - off the street and out of control.

December 4 2019 North Korea Women Traffic Officers - Where did they go?
North Korean Women Traffic Officers: Background
North Korean women traffic officers have previously given image to Pyongyang.
Notoriously famed for their beauty, it is said that Kim Jong Un hand picks these themselves.
They are known to be situated in high traffic areas and crossings throughout Pyongyang and direct and control the city’s traffic. The North Korean women traffic officers can also be found throughout the country, not just Pyongyang.
Because of their difficult jobs that require immense concentration and a high amount of training, they hold a high social status in Pyongyang and throughout North Korea.
However, in recent months, we have noticed a significant decline in the North Korean women traffic officers. This is especially so in central Pyongyang.
The North Korean traffic officers haven’t disappeared. However, the North Korean women traffic officers – arguably the face of North Korean traffic officers – are noticeably less present.
So, what happened to the North Korean women traffic officers?
North Korean Women Traffic Officers: Now
On a tour to North Korea, you will still see the North Korean traffic officers’ carefully choreographed traffic dances – but unfortunately, you will be lucky to see the North Korean women traffic officers.
Last year, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stated that for the benefit of the women, the North Korean women traffic officers would be taken off such hard duties and instead replaced by men.
The job of a North Korean traffic officer is indeed no easy feat. Standing out in all kinds of weather conditions for long periods of time, but maintaining a good level of concentration and keeping the traffic order can be very strenuous work requiring lots of training and practice.
Women in North Korea are often seen as those that should be celebrated and protected. Because of this, Kim Jong Un ordered that the North Korean women traffic officers should work less, have less tough shifts in less condensed and difficult areas, and not work throughout the toughest months of the year (i.e. in the depths of summer and winter).
So, if you are lucky, you may still get the odd chance of seeing North Korean women traffic officers around Pyongyang and other areas in North Korea.
However, the days of the constant presence of the North Korean traffic lady standing at the corner to Kim Il Sung Square and the foreign language bookshop in central Pyongyang are unfortunately long gone.

TRAFFIC GIRL AWARDED TITLE HERO OF THE REPUBLIC Saves the life of Kim Jong-Un? Or just saves a Jong-Un propaganda poster? (KCTV news 2013/5/7)
OK, The basic story here is that some unspecified incident happened, and the traffic girl provided assistance. For performing such a sacrificial duty, she was awarded the title Hero Of The Republic, the higest honor a civilian can receive in North Korea, and also was awarded 2 additional medals - all in a ceremony that was conducted in the Presidium of the Grand Peoples Assembly, with full honors and much congratulatory speechmaking.
UPDATE: Some news reports have speculated that the incident involved Kim Jong-Un, and that the traffic girl "may have saved his life."
Latest reports say it was just a propaganda poster that was saved.
The true story is starting to come out.....

"My Dear Pyongyang Traffic Lady: Each time I passed you, I admired how you labored with your perfectly-choreographed movements to ensure that that we all -- whether we be your fellow heroic socialist worker, your own Dear Leader, or an anti-socialist militarist such as myself -- could proceed unimpeded toward Kim Il Sung Square in order to gaze upon the greatness of the Juche Idea. On my penultimate day in the Workers' Paradise, I stood there on your corner for many minutes thinking that, perchance, you would return my gaze. Each time you performed your traffic pirouette in your perfectly-exact knee-length blue skirt, cocked your head, and spun in my direction; I hoped that our eyes would meet. Sadly, they never did. Alas, I shall never know your name."
