The files were discovered in December by Nick Roy, a Boston-based cyber-sleuth who regularly scans the North Korean internet as a hobby. Roy found a new North Korean website that outside visitors didn’t need a password to access, unlocking a trove of animation sketches, and shared them with the Stimson Center, a Washington-based think tank.  

The documents include a series of Chinese instructions that have been translated into Korean. They call for making adjustments to the size and style of the animation. Among the documents, there is also an editing sheet written in English with specifications for animation work with “Invincible” printed atop.

SEK have done a ton of animation work for foreign firms. This is probably the only way they're getting outsourcing work done now since all of the sanctions were put in place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Studio

First Nolan murders a whole city with his body, now his studio is having him animated with slave labor. Poor Mark can't get a break.

Ok? It's not like there's any way to prevent things like this from happening. Are you going to ban all outsourcing worldwide?

Edit: I'd be interested to hear from the downvoters WHY they're disagreeing with this...
