The Chosun Shinbo, a newspaper published for Koreans in Japan, reported that Kwangbok (independence) department store, DPRKs third largest department store after Pyongyang Number 1 and 2 department stores, was replacing its entire facade with glass.
Located at the threshold of Kwangbok Road, Kwangbok department store is a three-storied building with an area of 27,000 square meters. Individuals who made significant contributions to the country such as distinguished and disabled veterans are regulars to the store.
Kwangbok department store was founded to mark the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students, which was held in July, 1989 in Pyongyang. The store is being remodeled for the first time in twenty years. The entire facade is being replaced with glass, says the Chosun Shinbo
Kim Bong Sun, the manager of the department store also said in an interview with the Chosun Shinbo, We are trying to bring a modern sense to the facade of the department store.
