70 Illegally Smuggled North Korea Photos They Don’t Want You To See

 


The Yanggakdo Hotel in Pyongyang is harboring a secret—the 5th floor is missing from the elevator panel, The Business Insider reported. While it can be accessed by stairs, it is off-limits to hotel guests. In summary, the 5th floor is a concrete bunker with locked steel doors and unsettling propaganda such as posters saying “Our General is the best”,  “We miss our Father, the General”, “Military first politics”, and propagandas upholding Japanese as invaders and killers and Americans as bombers.

 


This is a famous landmark in the capital city. BBC reported that every night, North Korea’s news bulletin begins with a song about the mythical qualities of the country’s leaders. This is already downright absurd to start with. The state media will then show a constant stream of stories about their leader’s economic guidance and benevolent care. Reminding the townspeople of the former leaders’ existence becomes transcendent due to their apparent images on billboards, buildings, television reports, and every office wall.
