It is no need to make windows as the gym has been fully provided with lighting facilities. After learning about the issue of heating, he said: Judging from the fact that water heaters are not installed in the gym, you seem to have thought of closing this swimming gym not only in winter but also in early spring or late autumn. If this gym was planned to be used only in summer, it would have been better to build a swimming pool outside. As this swimming gym was built, it should be built to be used all ye...

The following happened when respected Comrade Kim Jong Un looked round the construction site of the Sci-Tech Complex.

Personally drawing a pattern on the door, Comrade Kim Jong Un advis...

After making the rounds of the flats on 7F and 58F for hours, he took a lift to come down to the first floor. Then he suddenly turned his eyes to one of its walls. He said to the puzzled officials: I can hear the sibilant sound when the lift goes up and down. It seems that negative pressure is formed in the lift shaft.

That was why he did not miss even the sibilant soun...
