V002-COREA DEL NORTE KIM JONG UM EN EL BALNEARIO

STORY: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un revisited a workers’ holiday resort he once publicly criticised, this time praising its remodelling and touring the facilities in person, state-run television KRT reported on Wednesday (January 21).

KRT said Kim attended the completion ceremony for the Onpho Workers’ Resort in North Hamgyong Province on Tuesday (January 20).

Footage aired by KRT showed Kim walking through the facilities in a black coat and dress shoes and stepping into a steaming bath while speaking with bathers. He was also shown entering the women’s bath.

After touring the rebuilt resort, Kim said the facilities were well-balanced and the architectural elements blended harmoniously with their surroundings, according to KRT.

Kim’s inspection of the rebuilt resort comes ahead of a key party congress widely expected to convene next month. Earlier in the week, he dismissed Vice Premier Yang Sung-ho for “irresponsibility” in a machinery plant modernization project.
