Growing up I was always weirdly interested in North Korea/the DPRK, and the Korean pensinula at large. While there was a lot of material on the South, not much existed about the North unless you wanted to read stories from defectors. This channel giving a look into the less political, more praactical side of the country, is unique.

DPRK Explained explains how the DPRK functions way better than other news outlets, I wish that this channel was more recognized internationally, as others can see how the DPRK works without having to take any sides.

Being an unused skyscraper that’s used to display beautiful LED imagery and is a staple landmark of the city, the Ryugyong Hotel reminds me a lot of One Times Square.

Your passion for North Korean affairs is infectious ❤. Love the nice touches about Sadong district. Literally cannot wait for Pothonggang and Sadong opening soon. North Korea has reached new heights with its modern architecture. Also looking forward to Hwassong district, apparently a lot of the Donju (elites) will be funding that project, attractive for its location (I.e, close to places of business). Rumours also that KJU wants Pyongyang's general hospital to open soon. 2022 must be North Korea's year to shine in modern development.
