VoiceOfKorea.org down? COUP D'ETAT? (Updated)

I checked out voiceofkorea.org tonight (the website for the Voice of Korea shortwave broadcast from North Korea), and found the following on their website:

COUP D’ETAT

CONSCIENCE AGAINST REASONS OF STATE

VOICE OF KOREA IS TEMPORALLY NOT IN OPERATION

Further information will be given on Tuesday 02/01/07

info@voiceofkorea.org 0044.(0)79.0880.8552 Jean-Baptiste Kim

Anyone know what is going on?

Updated January 1, 2007 : The website has been updated with a repudiation of the North Korean regime:

The current regime is not the leader of people but the royal family rules over the people. This should changed into democratic elections and extended freedom of speech. People’s lives must be chosen by people’s favours, not by the dictatorial system. … I regret my life with DPRK government for last 10 years but will not repeat the same mistake again in future.

voiceofkorea.org was a volunteer ran website for the North Korean government (with North Korean approval).
