Since winning the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, director Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite has been an absolute favorite among critics, audiences and judges, as well as the entire circle of film buffs. Is there any consensus on what exactly it is? Is it a thriller? Black comedy? Maybe a family melodrama? Socially critical work?

Many people get to know North Korea through the opinions of visitors, various books, the Internet and the media, as well as gloomy photos of large blocks, buildings and boulevards. But what happens if we also enter the interior of these rooms and take a closer look?

We don't know much about the world's youngest dictator. He does not talk about his personal life, but in his biography we can find very unusual things. The only chance we have of finding out anything about this man is to keep a close eye on the news or South Korean intelligence reports. We have collected some facts about the most unpredictable political contemporary. Maybe it's not so scary after all?

North Korea is making a smartphone that is probably more powerful than yours https://citymagazine.si/en/north-korea-makes-a-smartphone-that-is-probably-more-powerful-than-yours/ Wed, 19 Apr 2017 06:00:17 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=video&p=300899

It's hard to believe that smartphones are made in North Korea, which is considered to be probably the most hermetically sealed country in the world. This was recently discovered by a group of young tourists who were fascinated by the phone they noticed in the hands of the guide. Contrary to expectations, it turned out to be a very powerful smartphone that even has a mosquito repellent app!

In 2015, the Slovenian music group Laibach plowed the field when they became the first foreign group to perform in the otherwise hermetically sealed North Korea.

Step into the fastest elevator in the world: the elevator at Lotte World Tower takes you up floors https://citymagazine.si/en/enter-the-fastest-elevator-in-the-world-elevator-in-the-lotte-world-tower-you-the-floors-are-hanging/ Mon, 10 Apr 2017 06:01:23 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=299045

Lotte World Tower is a 554.5-meter-high skyscraper in Seoul, South Korea, which attracts not only because of its height (it is the tallest building in East Asia) and unusual shape, but also because of the elevator, which is considered the fastest in the world. The building was officially opened on April 3, 2017, and the first lucky ones already had the opportunity to enter the fastest elevator in the world and experience a record-breaking fast ascent to the observation deck with an imposing view.

A mock image of the Olympic venue in Rio - this is what the Maracana looks like today https://citymagazine.si/en/poor-image-of-the-olympic-venue-in-rio-this-is-how-the-maracana-looks-today/ Tue, 14 Feb 2017 07:01:10 +0000

The fate of most Olympic facilities is cruel. This was also confirmed by the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where the facilities are crumbling miserably after the withdrawal of athletes, spectators and cameras. The saddest image is shown by the famous Maracana stadium, where the finals of the World Cup were held in 2014, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics took place here last summer. Meanwhile, the Olympic venues in PyeongChang, which will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, are getting their beautiful look.

South Korea wants to get rid of coins and switch exclusively to cashless payments https://citymagazine.si/en/south-korea-wants-to-get-out-of-coins-and-switch-exclusively-to-cashless-payment/ Thu, 08 Dec 2016 06:59:02 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=274526

Electronic payment is increasingly replacing cash, especially in South Korea, which is considered one of the most technologically advanced countries, where only 20 percent of payments are made with paper money. So it is not surprising that they want to get rid of coins as soon as possible. They want to withdraw them from circulation by 2020. A similar fate awaits banknotes.

North Koreans can only access 28 websites! https://citymagazine.si/en/north-koreans-can-only-access-up-to-28-websites/ Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:09:45 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=256120

North Korea is the most hermetically sealed, most isolated and most secretive country in the world. This is also evidenced by the findings of the security engineer of the Uber mobile application, Matthew Bryant, who after an error in North Korea's web system (an error occurred in the configuration of the servers) was able to get hold of the list of all websites with a North Korean domain (.kp). He was surprised to find that North Koreans can only access 28 websites!

Illegal photos from North Korea https://citymagazine.si/en/illegal-photos-from-north-korea/ Sun, 13 Mar 2016 04:33:11 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=218743

North Korea has a hermetically sealed border and is considered one of the most isolated and secretive countries. We know very little about her. It is the most militaristic country in the world, as it has a total of over nine million members of the army, reservists and other paramilitary units. But in the age of information technology, it is increasingly difficult to hide the situation in the country and away from the prying eyes of the foreign public. Most of the images that come out of the country into the world are approved by the authorities, but not the photos of Michał Huniewicz, who managed to get permission to enter the country and take many illegal photos in North Korea.

He will be there as part of the Liberation Day Tour, and the date of the performances coincides with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese occupation, which divided Korea in half, so that even today they are seen as dog and cat.
