- FooBarWidget 2y agoIt is a term journalists like to use to convey that they're doing important work or that you're reading something valuable. I see them use this kind of language for many things, hoping that readers fall for it.

- albino_yak 2y agoYeah, they seem to be re-reporting a story from 2012. Here's an archived post from 2012 with the same picture of the same tour guide (Simon Cockerell) at the top of the hotel: https://web.archive.org/web/20141110072645/http://koryogroup.com/blog/?p=1156 https://web.archive.org/web/20141110072645/http://koryogroup...
- FabHK 2y agoMakes sense. From the article: > Cockerell began running tours to North Korea with the company Koryo Tours in 2002 ... > Ten years later, Cockerell met a North Korean who was working in China, and that man had the contacts necessary to arrange a visit. Though the article has some later information: > No doubt a source of pain for the Kim dynasty, the impressive 554m Lotte World Tower in Seoul, South Korea, which was finished in 2017, dwarfs the Ryugyong Hotel.
- waynecochran 2y agoThose are the same internal photos. Where are all of these other photos you allude to?
