North Korean Defectors Comment On Recent Pictures Taken of North Korea

| January 13, 2017 | North Korea | No Comments

CNN has a good article published where various pictures recently taken in North Korea are commented on by North Korean defectors.  Here is my favorite comment:

“This is an Arc of Triumph, erected to commemorate Kim Il Sung allegedly liberating Korea from the Japanese,” explains Russian North Korean studies researcher, Fyodor Tertitskiy. “It may be the biggest building in honor of an event which never happened.” “Allegedly, the people of Pyongyang were expecting to see a veteran general with gray hair,” says Kang Jimin about the dedication ceremony. “But the crowd was rather disappointed to see Kim Il Sung emerge, who was only in his thirties at the time and looked like a Chinese food delivery guy.” [CNN]
