Rare Photos of Life in North Korea You Probably Haven’t seen Before

The eternal president

One of the craziest things about North Korea is that they consider their leaders to be divine and therefore their religion is actually their leaders. In fact, the eternal president of the republic is a man named Kim Il Sung, who has been dead for almost 25 years! Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un, the son and grandson of the “dear leader” Kim Il Sung are the country’s prophets.

That is why the people in the picture are bowing to these giant statues – they are actually praying to them!
