Say whatever u want but don’t let that distract u from the fact that the place is infact beautiful

[Kehwanna]

I love how they just open a city up like an amusement park.

[nanucit]

"made by compulsory labour" isn't all labour compulsory in NK? 🤔

[FirstLast-disr]

Only 4k families..? Sounds kinda small, and like all he did was build himself a ski resort and housing for the "employees"..

[ishikawagoemon]

Ok why is the North Korean girl with the phone look adorable

[TheknightofGod-KOG]

Good for them I wonder if they can power it

[bavery]

The streets of Samjiyon are SO clean and SO - empty... 😮

Wish they did this in Boston so i don't need 2M for a damn house

Just a suggestion to South Korea. Is it possible in the area of DMZ of South Korean side that you place several giant monitors or projector screens that facing North Korea and play several videos that was not seen by the North and you can use LRAD as your speakers.

Mountain considered for kims born there. Great.

[virtuehearts]

It's so darn beautiful there. Maybe on my list for the next vacation.

Look what a little forced labor can do! The Egyptians built the pyramids- one of the world's Great Wonders. Kimmy (Uny?) made himself a little ski resort village. 😲 So cute! 🎵 Where a kid can be a kid! 🎵 (and kill anyone who stands in his way!)

Lmao we're just gonna believing what the defectors say about compulsory labour even tho they weren't in their own country to see the construction happen? ok

[DSan-klyc]

Hes not really focused on housing, or even feeding people.
Though that problem is everywhere. But its especially bad in NK.

[kemariodon]

Why dont everybody come together and have a rebellion

[USDAselect]

Those women soldiers taking selfies, I wonder if they ever get to use a smartphone.

[成龍-kn]

Better treat its people than much richer south

[ypyp]

Well done to them, in the face of unfair and unjustified sanctions. I feel like we in the west are on the wrong side of history.

[patrickvernon]

Better looking and more peaceful, coherent, than any city in America. I’d say it’s utopia too compared to us.
