The metro is very much a vanity project of the regime, each line is a little 10km, but apparently the very deep system of tunnels and stations serve multiple purposes besides public trasport. Thank you for this video!

I just love how libs just go full flat earth UFO conspiracy theorist at the mention of anything functioning as expected in the DPRK

Vanity Project is when the government builds something and it works as intended

No you don't get it, the government is paying actors to pretend that they're living in apartments, commuting on the metro, and working at jobs around the city. It's all a performance.

These tourist shows just keep getting better and better: thousands of background performers, full-scale, moveable train props; the "tunnel" background didn't even look like it was just a big cylinder going round and round outside the shaking carriage window. Just think what they could do if they put all that effort into building a proper market economy!
