DISCUSSION
Here are the literal translations. Which are insane.
0. 50th anniversary of the founding of the republic nation.
1. Don't forget the American-born jackals!
2. Look! The Americans' form!
3. America is really (as opposed to NK) the nation of the Axis of Evil.
4. Artificial earth-satellite launched though our might and intelligence! A vigorous great nation's first cannon fire (sound of cannon).
5. Strict judgment for Americans and their servants!
6. With all the citizens' united strengths, let us completely crush (break) America's nuclear war mongering.
7. If (America) starts an invasion-war, (We will) Completely destroy American bastards first!
8. When coerced, through a heavy strike. When chastised, through merciless punishment!
9. Americans, don't dare jump around.
10. (The) Black Gentleman
11. Even though the dog barks, the (parade) procession goes out.
Korean's really hard to translate word for word, mostly because often Koreans will speak without an explicit subject in the sentences. So much is based on context of the dialogue. It's much simpler to translate through naturalization, but that loses a bit of its charm.
