real estate fraud by Kim Jong Un In the past, there was a real estate bubble in North Korea.Real estate worth more than 20 million yen is not affordable to the people of that economic level of communist country.North Korea is always short of foreign currency, and the underground economy is the foundation of North Korea's economy.On the surface, large amounts of money are flowing into foreign products and DVDs that are considered illegal.
More than half of the high-end villas in Heungmu-dong, Peony Peak, Pyongyang, were found to be empty, and Kim Jong-un held a state-led auction.At the time of the auction, the authorities ordered that the source of the money and the background of the successful bidder be independent.Since there is no need to worry about money from the black market, elite officials from 11 agencies that procure, research, and analyze nuclear and missile development parts from abroad participated in the auction, raising the purchase price to 23 million yen. by National Leaders
Two years later, at the end of 2019, Kim Jong Un suddenly announced that he would provide new luxury apartments to executives of 11 stations, and ordinary employees would be given apartments in the middle and new apartments in Mangyeongdae would be given to section chiefs.No one can refuse to provide Kim Jong Un with an apartment.They gave up luxury villas one after another and moved to a new apartment.Of course,at the past almost half of the rooms were empty, so no one could buy them even if real estate prices continued to fall.
Kim Jong-un sold high-end villas to elite executives at auction and transferred them to poor-quality new apartments and deposited the difference into the national treasury.Real estate prices have fallen by one-tenth since 2021, with the government ordering the eradication of private transactions in state-owned housing.

North Korea does not stop missile launches.The purpose is just to develop nuclear weapons to protect King Kim Jong Il regime.
At a press conference after 9 a.m., Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile on the morning of June 30 and reached a maximum height of about 2,000 kilometers, which is believed to have fallen outside Japan's EEZ= exclusive economic zone."Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile eastward from the interior of North Korea around 7:52 a.m. today.We are currently investigating the details, but if the missile is a normal trajectory, it is estimated that it flew about 2,000 kilometers high, 30 minutes long, and 800 kilometers away from Sea of Japan's exclusive economic zone."
Regarding Matsuno's remarks to reporters that the launch was "high-intensity," a senior Foreign Ministry official said, "I think that's what he said about the missile.In other words, the threat is growing.North Korea is likely to resume ICBM= intercontinental ballistic missile tests or nuclear tests in the future, as it seems to be launching various missiles on a trial basis."
The other day, Matsukawa, a former defense parliamentary secretary, replied, "North Korea has a clear target point, and I think is just proceeding with the plan there."Kim Jong-un is trying to build a North that will protect the Kim Jong-un regime forever, and if other countries criticize the missile launch, he will respond with provocations.Matsukawa's statement may be closer to the truth because nothing will change after the U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution.
North Korea may just be using criticism from other countries as a diplomatic strategy.You should think that they will not stop until they reach the target point of nuclear and missile development.
Kim Jong-un's mother, Ko Yong-hee, was born in Osaka and is a second-generation Japanese resident.His father was a Korean resident in Japan, and went to North Korea with his family on a post-war repat
Kim Jong-un's mother, Go Yong-hee, is a second-generation Korean living in Japan and was born in Osaka, Japan. She was born in Tsuruhashi, near Ikuno Korea Town. She is said to have returned to North Korea with her parents around 1962. Ko Yong Hee's father was a Korean resident in Japan who was born in Jeju and moved to Osaka in 1929, where he worked as an executive at the Hirota Military Uniform Factory in Osaka, which was secretly designated by the Ministry of War. During the repatriation project led by North Korea and the Korean Federation of Korean Federations, they took the 99th repatriation route to North Hamgyong with three children, including Go Yong Hui and her mother, who is one of her father's wives. It took root in Domei.
She graduated from the dance department of Pyongyang College of Music and Dance (currently Kim Won-gyun University of Music), and in 1971 she became a dancer with the Mansu University Art Troupe, changing her name to Go Yong-hee. In 1972 she received the title of ``Public Actor''. In 1973, the Mansuda Art Troupe completed a successful performance in Japan, and her Japanese-born girlfriend, a hired princess, attracted attention and became famous. Princess Go Yong joins her group, and she becomes Kim Jong Il's third mistress. Kim Jong Il called her ``Ayumi'' in Japanese style. According to North Korea's official records, she is a former member of the North Jeju Army on Jeju Island.
What Happened to Princess Gaoyong Since the 2000s, she has been treated for breast cancer, and in 2003 her cancer recurred, making it virtually incurable. In September 2003, he suffered a severe head injury in a traffic accident, and his health further deteriorated.Following a secret visit by French medical staff to North Korea that year, he was admitted to a hospital in Paris in 2004. It was revealed that he had undergone tumor- and brain-related treatment. In May 2002, it was discovered that Kim Jong-nam, who was appointed as the Minister of National Security in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, entered Japan on a fake passport. He was deported and dismissed from his position as head of the National Security Agency. At this time, there is a theory that some sources spread information that Princess Gaoyong had visited Japan with a fake passport in order to prevent the selection of her legitimate son's successor. There are rumors that Princess Gao Yong died of a heart attack and cancer while undergoing treatment in Paris, France on August 13, 2004, but she had already passed away three months earlier, in May. may have died. Her gravestone, which has since been made public, confirms that she died on May 24, 2004.
Kenji Fujimoto was hired as Kim Jong Il's personal chef and served Japanese cuisine, and was reportedly assigned as Kim Jong Un's childhood playmate. Perhaps the keywords "Princess Gaoyong" and "Japan" are related. In any case, it seems that the lineage of Mt. Paekdu is a little complicated.
North Korea's NATA (National Aerospace Technology Administration) is very similar to NASA - why make it look like it to compete with the United States? And it's English.
This is the official logo design of North Korea's National Aerospace Technology Directorate. If you think it's similar to something, it's NASA in the United States. The North Korean side is NATA. When I looked it up, it seems that NATA is the acronym for National Aerospace Technology Administration. This was also reported in Japanese media.
Kim Jong-un's daughter Jue appeared at the venue wearing a T-shirt with this mark printed on it, and all the male executives who greeted her were also wearing this T-shirt. It's a very North Korean-like scene, but by the way, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seems to be an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In North Korea's logic, they would argue that they did not copy NASA, but simply used the name of North Korea's agency, and would they say that the design was inspired by space? No matter how you look at it, it just looks like a NASA fake.
North Korea is now excited that it has successfully launched a satellite. Japanese media has also reported that the threat has increased, but it was in 1970 that Japan placed its first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth. North Korea is supposed to be making missiles to counter the United States. By the way, North Korea uses Hangul as its national script, and like South Korea, it has abolished the kanji that it had historically used for a long time. It's a very strange country.
Biden administration sanctions Russia and North Korean individuals for North Korean missile launch on the 11th.
[Washington, 12th Reuters] --The US Treasury will impose sanctions on 6 North Korean individuals, 1 Russian individual, and 1 group following a series of missile launches by North Korea on the 12th.

Further evidence that banned programs continue to move forward despite society's demand for diplomacy and denuclearization. "
"The events of the last few days underscore our belief that dialogue is needed to make things happen," US State Department spokesman Price said in a regular press conference, and the U.S. government continues to work with North Korea. He said he was aiming for diplomatic negotiations.
The ministry accused the sanctions of being the result of six ballistic missile launches since September last year, all of which violated a UN Security Council resolution. did.
It is said that one Russian-based North Korean national, one Russian national, and one Russian group, which were subject to sanctions, conducted "activities and transactions related to the spread of weapons of mass destruction and their means of transportation." I was determined.
One of the North Korean nationals is a representative of the North Korean organization involved in weapons development in Vladivostok, and is said to have been involved in the procurement of communication-related equipment from Russia.
In addition, four representatives of the agency's China branch and one Russian-based North Korean have also been sanctioned. He was involved in the procurement of alloy steel, software, and chemical products.
Anthony Ruggero, a sanctions expert from the former Trump administration, said the new sanctions were a "good start" and that the Biden administration needed to continue to increase sanctions pressure on North Korea. It pointed out.
This measure will freeze the sanctioned US-related assets and completely ban transactions with the sanctioned person.
The point of interest is sanctions on individuals. We knew that Russian engineers were involved in the development of North Korea's nuclear missiles, but we are trying to identify individuals.
