NK making fake buildings like the top image for the illusion of a wealthy nation when the 99% of their nation live in the below image.
Meanwhile the US builds house and sells them to corporations who have no interest in letting someone live there.
Your only source on the DPRK is Radio Free Asia. Go push a train by hand you clown.

Most of it will be boring reports, which is less likely to be exaggerated.
Apartment buildings like this aren't that expensive to build, and the concentration of services you can build around them saves a lot of money.
There may have been a time where buildings of this caliber were faked, but I doubt that's the case now
