LOL it's still under construction and took over more than two decade had it been built in South Korea or Japan or even the U.S. that would've been complete already in less than 5-10 years max.
Your ignorant insularity and lazy somnolence have allowed corruption and greed to render you impotent. Your people are freezing and starving in Tent Cities all over U$A. WE SHALL SEND YOU SOME AID, DO NOT FEAR!
BUT don't try to extend your EVIL IMPERIALISM to our domain.We have had nuclear bombs for over 5 years now, and WE SHALL BOMB THE FUCK OUT OF YOU IF YOU TRY ANYTHING!!
such a great achievement in Architecture... This is what a united workers' force can achieve!! whereas In the so-called "Western" world, wonders like these are built using cheap slave labor.
it's quite fucking scary looking at this building like this. Especially for how long it has been uninhabited. concrete must have weakened for the years the construction was delayed. Possible signs of cracks to. I only hope that we are able to help the people living in north korea. Especially for those who can barely feed themselves.
@duckbiter IF you Actually looked at the World GDP per capita instead of speaking out of your ass like a typical brainwashed fag does. Then you'd realize that The US has the the highest GDP per capita IN THE WORLD. But if you INSIST that the North korean Children should continue to starve, Then it shows how low you really are, oh and on a second note.
@duckbiter Since it is Insufficient to submit reason towards a Brainwashed scumbag who "hates every fucking american that ever existed" Maybe you (AGAIN) should look at the statistics moron of there being many Korean americans currently living in the United States and Chinese. "Somalia was ranked dead last in the world with regards to basic education, followed by Haiti, Eritrea, Comoros, and Ethiopia."
@Potew Do you live here in the US? I've seen many construction projects that were never finished, including what was supposed to be a large housing development in where only the streets were paved but no houses. When the Federal government finally runs out of money completely, I fear for what will happen to our infrastructure which is already crumbling.
@IAmOpenMinded No, I don't. There are no skyscrapers in NK, compared to US or most of the world, including Asia. North Korea is far away from some kind of "modern" world.
@Potew Well I don't remember me making any claims that North Korea is some kind of "modern world" but compared to say countries like Egypt which until recently was a stanch US ally, it compares very favorably. And most of the world doesn't have skyscrapers or at least an abundance of them, so I don't know what your point is. But like I said in my previous post, the US infrastructure is in danger of crumbling because efforts to replace those are meager compared to the demand. No money!
@IAmOpenMinded that's why privitization especially through not-for-profit companies like citizens (here in Indy) make sense. The government can, and should guaruntee infrastructure, but it doesn't neccessarily have to foot the bill in all respects. Roads aside of course
Fun fact: 5% of north korean GDP per year were literally wasted to build this giant, useless hotel. Just so you can compare: The US uses 1-2% of its GDP for military.
@Breaker242 A country's GDP is not a reliable gauge of it's true earnings. We actually spend nearly 70% if what the government takes in through income tax on the military. That's $700+ Billion dollars in military spending vs $1.2 Trillion in tax revenues. The government does have other sources of revenue, but we've been deficit spending for quite a while, meaning paying with borrowed money. At least China, North Korea, and other countries have better fiscal responsibility in that respect.
@cool12threeman It was, but the ran out of money. Apparently they just started again, and is supposed to be "finished" in 2012. Esquire Magazine has updated info on it.
We were looking at pictures of skyscrapers with some friends online and one of them posted a picture of this building, not know what it actually was, and he was like "Check this out, I really like the architecture on this one" - and they were all shocked when I told them I knew what building it was.
Topple this regime NOW ! What human being wants to live in a country with waves of extreme famine, constant fear of labor camps, BRAINWASHING since birth communist media? A developed country does not simply mean a high GDP. It means its citizens are afforded ALL of their natural human rights. This is impossible to do in a maxist STALINIST DICTATORSHIP. Freedom and oppression dont go together because human beings will always naturally rebel against all oppression. Do you agree with me?
This hotel, when finished, could be a spectacular building. The only problem is, how on earth will they ever fill the rooms? Who would ever want to travel to North Korea on purpose?
The Ryugyong Hotel is described as being 330m tall, having 3000 rooms above ground, is shaped like a giant pyramid, and is by far the largest structure in prongyang.
The Ministry of truth in George orwells 1984 is described as being pyramidal shaped, just over 300m tall, as having 3000 rooms above ground, and being the largest structure in Airstrip One.
The Architect was not North Korean
Methinks a sick joke has been played by the architect

I would like to hear music, see theater, movies, try food, etc.
@TheMechaunicorn lol MUSIC? THEATERS? FOOD? THE THINGS NORTH KOREA DOESN'T HAVE! LOL thats what south korea has. ALl north korea can offer is guns and nukes/
Well I'm American myself, but I believe North Korea can offer just as much to the world as anybody else. I'll always promote peace because I think we can all learn from each other. While I won't say America is a shithole, there are some things about it I wish would change but there are some good parts too!
What is up with these posters on a bunch of these Asian videos? It's like their governments have amusing little squads of people they pay to boost their international image (and are failing)... lmfao. I'm happy I live somewhere where you can get a decent education and learn to think for yourself. Though we do have a bunch of idiots that live in the US, at least they chose to be ignorant.
So you prefer targeted face recognition "Minority Report" ads soon to arrive in YOUR TOWN!
American TV - an endless succession of ads selling trash.
A decent education for SOME Americans. Leaves out much INTERNATIONAL history and geography. Scientists BEWARE, creationist ideologues may be censoring the truth in the biological sciences.
There's not much choice really, we're all prisoners of our culture and upbringing.
@GozerTheGozerian Provocative verbage like yours, will be met with real action ! This is the 21st Century and nations across the globe are eradicating their countries of tryanny and dictatorship ,similar to your N Korea.
@hpcwsd You Americans topple weak nations like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, and you think it makes you mighty. But you are not prepared for the WRATH and MIGHT and POWER of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea and the Power of Juche!
Our Dear Leader write 450 books and directs more than 200 movies per year, while leading his Great Nation and Mighty Military. AMERICA SHALL TREMBLE at the Might and Magnificence of the DPRK with Dear Leader! Non-Juche believers shall perish!
@GozerTheGozerian "YOU AMERICANS"? How come then are you NOT in NORTH KOREA but display an American Location? hmmmmmm? I bet if you said anything against the N Koreans and tried to post it anywhere (since they are banned from any social networking: Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. You would be shot to death ....
@hpcwsd You spread American lies! We have internet in abundance in Democratic People's Republic of North Korea!
Juche provides internet for all, and our North Korean Google uses image of Dear Leader to spell out Google with all Gloriousness to Kim Jong Il and the Great Juche!
America will PERISH under the MIGHT and POWER of the Dear Leader, while every man, woman and child sings songs of the Glory of the Juche and Power of the North! Die, Americans!
@GozerTheGozerian *** WARNING *** Ladies & Gentlemen "GozerTheGozerian" purports to be in N Korea, yet displays "United States" as his residence. I think we have another WACKJOB "LOUGHNER" in the making here ... He's NUTS! FBI, please check this wackout out, before we see him on the news !
@hpcwsd The FBI has no power or jurisdiction in North Korea because DEAR LEADER KIM JONG IL and the POWER of the JUCHE protect us!
That is why America will perish in a sea of nuclear flame on the day Dear Leader ascends to his THRONE as EMPEROR of the WORLD! We who trust in Juche and Kim Jong Il have faith that the American pigdogs will be vanquished by the POWER of the TAEPODONG MISSILE and Kim Jong Il will raise North Korean flag over Washington!
@duckbiter That hotel looks more like a high rise prison .. in fact , it might be already used as one, because seriously ... no one in the 'right' mind is going to visit N Korea!
@GozerTheGozerian You are completely brainwashed by you dear leader bullshit. I suggest you visit ANY other country and you will change your mind. Sorry, YOU are the propaganda, as nobody from NK can access the internet, only the party asslickers. Ahhh
@GozerTheGozerian Looks like your "Dear Leader" is now saying "DAMN IT'S HOT DOWN HERE .... I WANT ICE WATER I WANT ICE WATER " and there is NONE !!! He's in HELL for ETERNITY !
@hpcwsd WRONG. Dear Leader has ascended to the Heavens on the Chariot of Juche, there to watch over his people with Fatherly Love.
It is the POWER of JUCHE that protects us and guarantees AMERICA WILL PERISH in a sea of flame! Your WEAK LEADER OBAMA will be crushed under the collective foot of DPRK power fueled by JUCHE!
ALL HAIL NEW LEADER!!! Time of American destruction arrives soon!
@GozerTheGozerian Just judging from your pic and your rants ... SEEK PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIC HELP SOON ! .... and MOVE TO NORTH KOREA since you are infatuated by it !
Anneliese Michel was being brainwashed and steered by the German BND which is the renamed GESTAPO. Check out my channel and homepage. The aim was to make religion appear dangerous or ridiculous. In 2009 3 Bishops had been thrown out because of cases constructed by the German secret services. At this time they are after the fourth. Todays Germany is worse than any communist state ever was. There are also rumours that one Bishop was assassinated a few years ago.
@duckbiter You are also right about my not being a native North Korean. It is my adoptive country, and I am a lonely voice on this channel trying to defend my country against ignorant and hateful comments, mainly from the USA.
Finally, may I compliment you on your English. This is so often taken for granted by those of us who never have to bother with a second language.
Don't worry everybodies! Chairman Kim has blessing us and construction have start agian! We have beautifulest hotel in world that show our power and mightiness. 북한 화이팅!
@AbortFlight it has potential, in terms of a design - the problem is that they ran out of money and never finished it. But then I doubt it they'd have the means or the knowledge to make it decent
@LimesNorrlandicus - fair enough. But having got so far, it makes sense to finish it. To leave it as it is is an embarrassment to our country. Ditto demolition, a costly option.
@plusBln (below) is undoubtedly correct. And it would be a huge foreign currency earner.
@omega4chimp - a meaningless flippant reply, as was your original comment.
Your Americunts' need to patronize and belittle others merely confirms your own shallowness and ignorance. And of course it's a way of avoiding thinking about your (plentiful) problems at home. Again ...
You should be ashamed of your stupid childish comments on this channel.
@duckbiter fuck you, man. NK is one of the worst nations in the world. Kim Jung Il is a fuck face and deserves to die for his crimes against humanity. You must be a dumbass in the NFA or something.

I'm happy I live somewhere where you can get a decent education and learn to think for yourself. Though we do have a bunch of idiots that live in the US, at least they chose to be ignorant.

So you prefer targeted face recognition "Minority Report" ads soon to arrive in YOUR TOWN!
American TV - an endless succession of ads selling trash.
A decent education for SOME Americans. Leaves out much INTERNATIONAL history and geography. Scientists BEWARE, creationist ideologues may be censoring the truth in the biological sciences.
There's not much choice really, we're all prisoners of our culture and upbringing.

Construction has begun again, illustrating the MIGHT and POWER of the JUCHE!
South Korea, Japan and China will tremble at the sight of the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il's display of power and Juche to the non-Juche believers!
America will quake and perish in a fire of Typodong missiles launched by the Dear Leader himself, so all the world will know of the Power of Juche!

@hpcwsd The FBI has no power or jurisdiction in North Korea because DEAR LEADER KIM JONG IL and the POWER of the JUCHE protect us!
That is why America will perish in a sea of nuclear flame on the day Dear Leader ascends to his THRONE as EMPEROR of the WORLD! We who trust in Juche and Kim Jong Il have faith that the American pigdogs will be vanquished by the POWER of the TAEPODONG MISSILE and Kim Jong Il will raise North Korean flag over Washington!
Honorable Juche!

Anneliese Michel was being brainwashed and steered by the German BND which is the renamed GESTAPO. Check out my channel and homepage. The aim was to make religion appear dangerous or ridiculous. In 2009 3 Bishops had been thrown out because of cases constructed by the German secret services. At this time they are after the fourth. Todays Germany is worse than any communist state ever was. There are also rumours that one Bishop was assassinated a few years ago.

@duckbiter You are also right about my not being a native North Korean. It is my adoptive country, and I am a lonely voice on this channel trying to defend my country against ignorant and hateful comments, mainly from the USA.
Finally, may I compliment you on your English. This is so often taken for granted by those of us who never have to bother with a second language.

@LimesNorrlandicus - fair enough. But having got so far, it makes sense to finish it. To leave it as it is is an embarrassment to our country. Ditto demolition, a costly option.
