Empress Chung is a new animated feature that was a South and North Korean co-production. This news comes way of Animated-News.com.
From an article at the english version of Digial Chosunilbo:
After eight years of collaboration, the two Koreas will finally screen their first jointly made film later this week. The animated version of one of Korea’s favorite traditional folk tales will be shown at a number of venues across the peninsula.
The story is about “Empress Chung,” who dedicates her life to restoring her blind father’s eyesight, an example of a daughter’s traditional duty toward her parents.

South and North Korea have been working together for eight years on the cartoon. North Korean animators created the sketches and drawings for the film, with the rest of the production work done in Seoul. It’s the first piece of animated film made in cooperation between the two sides.
The official site has an english version, so maybe we can hope to see an english version of the movie as well.
Isn’t the internet great, we can find out about all these exciting animation projects from around the world.
