The parody video was created by the anonymous producer of the YouTube channel Korea News Backup.
The video, uploaded in July 2014, features a spoofed North Korean news broadcast claiming the national team reached the World Cup final. It was identified as a satire piece, with experts noting the anchor’s South Korean accent and the use of the word “fighting” as giveaways of its non-North Korean origin.
The video fooled several news outlets including the UK’s Metro, the Daily Mirror, and the Toronto Sun before being debunked as satire.

It’s not anonymous producer. His name is Maurício Cid, a brazilian comedian that even uploaded an explanation to the channel itself about how he made it, uploading normal things from Korea to the channel and then uploading the video toghether with that to give it the minimu of weight, but that’s basically it. He even received praises by the Korean embassy for doing that.
