As soon as you told me where it was located, it made complete sense as to why this hotel was completely unoccupied for so long despite it's massive size and potential.
Same
Potential to get everyone killed that occupies it during an earthquake
Wait few months more I will invite you
If you ever feel so empty and lonely, remember this hotel existed, guys
@@kimjongun6660 15 years later:
Kim Jong Un: this hotel is finally proudly open for public and i will invite everyone (but only everyone in north korea)
Maybe they checked in anytime they liked, but could never leave
Welcome to the Hotel North Korea, not such a lovely place...
@@mirthenary such a lovely face. 🎵
Plenty of room in hotel North Korea
Livin’ it up at the Hotel North Korea🎶🎵
I’m pretty sure that ones in California…
I was in North Korea for a week in 1992 for a "goodwill" visit. During one of the tours, our tour guide proudly pointed out the "still under construction" hotel to us and I asked her when it was going to be completed, she gave me a dirty look and walked away. Another American member of our group laughed and explained to me how it would likely never be completed because of the structural issues (like the crooked elevator shafts).
Is North Korea worth to visit ?
@@fatah619 no its garbage you can get arrested by doing what we usually do in our country
@@fatah619 Not at all
@@fatah619 It might still worth a visit if you're seeking some thrilling experience by visiting one of the most dangerous countries on Earth though, but otherwise, I agree with someone replied before me that that country is basically rubbish
@@_dorime20yearsagoedited39 I rather visit the island of Tristan da Cunha, is very dificult to visit due to distance ( most remote inhabitated place in the world), pre-arrangements to be made at least 1 or 2 years before ( especially now with the pandemic ), etc and there´s not very much to do and one can be stranded for a month but at least one will not be put in a prison camp for life...
The machine next to the beds in North Korean hotels is SUPPOSED to be 3 things. It’s supposed to have controls for the bed, like to move to foot up, the head up, but they don’t work, it’s supposed to control to TV, but those don’t work (and even if they did, I’d still use the remote), and is a radio, which doesn’t work
like their missiles... which dont work
I remember reading a book written by a guy that had escaped one of the many “camps” they have there. It was brutal. When he was a child he’d be so starving that him & other kids would have to catch rats to cook & eat. Also he would try to hold in his poop for as long as possible because he thought it would help his stomach to feel more full. This occurred in early 2000’s so it wasn’t that long ago either. Anyone that escaped was instantly killed so he was the only person to escape & tell about it. I wish I could remember the name of that book, I’d love to read it again. *Update: name of the book is called “Escape From Camp 14”, I highly recommend reading this book*
I would like to read that
Is it “Escape From Camp 14”?
That sounds so awful
@@robertpace600 YES!!!! AND THANK YOU!!!!! I had forgotten the name & it’s been a few years that I’ve been trying to remember or find out the name so I can read it again!!! I wasn’t sure about the title but I googled it & saw the same cover!!!! I believe everyone who has an interest in these issues DEFINITELY SHOULD READ IT!!! It is unbelievable I’m so many levels!!!! And all true!!!!!
@@davidrea5578 hi I found out the name from an awesome man that commented down below & the name is “Escape From Camp 14” & it’s written by Blaine Harden, he tells the unbelievably true story told by Shin Dong-hyuk…I am definitely going to read it again now that I know the name again!! If this is your interests, like mine, then you seriously should read this. Comment me later and tell me what you thought of it if poss, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! Enjoy
We live in a disturbing world where a government has so little regard for their own citizens. Like imagine being so poor you are living in poverty while meanwhile your government has hotels full of furniture and empty space that aren't used, unless by random visitors who rarely ever come. It's like being a child in a house where the parents make you live outside in the grass and starve, while people rarely come over and get treated like kings...it's bazar how people get in power who are so neglectful towards those who they're responsible to take care of. Some suffering is good to experience, because it creates empathy towards others experiencing the same or worse suffering. It's probably hard for someone born into the lap of luxury who never experiences harsh living conditions to imagine what others suffer and want to help. Priorities are so important for people in power to have, because people are infinitely more important than things. I wish more people realized that. You know what's better than appearing well off? It's treating people well. Life is not about competing with each other, but helping each other. We all have differences, but not one person is more important than another. Countries are made up of people who are all equally valuable and important. It's delusional to think otherwise. It's cruel to deprive those we're responsible for in exchange for trying to keep up appearances. What good does it do anyways if you just fail miserably in the end? None.

No one in their right mind would want to set foot in North Korea🤯
North Korea is a hell fr......wish I had the power of punisher
No one in they wrong mind either🔥
I would just for the fun of it but i would never break any rules
Probably Putin 😂
I've been there lol. It was before there were all these documentaries about it on youtube, so I was curious because I didn't know what the place was like and really wanted to find out. I don't regret it at all because it gave me first hand experience of how controlled everything is in NK
I once saw a traveling video about a guy that took a tour to North Korea said he didn't really felt particulary unwelcomed, there was however, restrictive movement and you HAVE to go on a tour bus, you could not move around on your own and it's mandatory to go to the tomb of the kims to "pay your respects".
Imagine traveling to that hole of a country.
So basically, money that could've been spent on the country to make it better was instead built just to prove "whatever u can do, I can do better". If there was nothing wrong with it and if it was better than the housing the people live in now, I'd say let the people move it at the same cost of rent, to at least give the illusion that the country is better than others, which is what they're trying to give off. As the phrasing goes "a kingdom is not a kingdom without its people", so u can't really call this a hotel unless u have or at least once have had guests staying inside it
all power should belong to the people. all "kingdoms' are concerned with nothing but maintaining status and controlling others.
Yes, massive ego issues.
The thrills of living in a death trap.
Kim has stayed in the pent house sweet wich is the only completed room but he owns it so that dont count it needs a paying gesture and at least 5 or it's just a glorified b&b!
I completely agree
Went to North Korea in 2018. When in Pyongyang, the tour bus will only take routes that pass through the 'modern' and 'scenic' parts of the city, which is why we passed by this building umpteen times... we were excited when we saw it the first time, same for the light show at night. But that excitement slowly became "omg we are here again?"
Sounds about right when you do everything to make a city look good except actually make it look good.
I think it looks like minecraft's hollow shell of a megabuild more than anything else
Hahahahaha 🤣 I'd of loved to have been there to seen that.
@@MQJ007 The only 2 times we saw something rundown were 1) our train ride from Sinuiju (the North Korean city closest to China, our starting point) to Pyongyang, and 2) when we are navigating through some old apartment buildings to a community church (one of our itinerary). The train track ran through many farms and rural areas and is totally what u would expect in a poor farming community.
@@MQJ007 Not really. Can’t speak for all these countries but if you visit the US cities listed here you actually have a hard time avoiding some of the not-so-pretty sections. Maybe that’s for the best - tourists who don’t want to get to know the reality of a place probably shouldn’t travel.
This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels.
Wonderful editing! I love how you use icons and images for storytelling
That’s totally appreciable ❤
If it were up to me I’d have it demolished, and stop trying to keep up appearances. The rest of the world know’s they didn’t & still don’t have the fund’s to complete it. Don’t waste another dime on it, that’s real leadership….Excellent video as usual .
Look up hidden architecture of Korea, it was half buried and found it that way a 100 years ago they did It's remodeling in the eighties.. It's true origin is honestly unknown and people used to think it was a UFO or something unexplainable in our recent past.

Edit: mandates are not law. Law's are passed by the House, and then the Senate, then signed by a president. That is law.
@@youknowme8578 You have a constitution and bill of rights written by people, and interpreted by people who don't have your best interest at heart. You have a government that you feel you voted into office, but you have no say in whatever they choose to do against you.

You can't sue them, can't hold them accountable for anything.
Sounds like what you have is the illusion of rights and freedom
not only the hotel is majestic ,i would say narration and story building around this was equally superb piece of art .
Imagine being able to say "It's been 30 years.." without exaggerating.
This is so sad but I still kinda laughed cuz Jesus.. 😅😅😅
I was literally cringing watching this. that's what happens when you try to prove you're better. Now they have a constant reminder that they're not, what idiots.

All the time while I was watching about this building, it gave me such a tragic feeling, that actually it was cool seeing this video effects they achieved with it, the LED screens, even though there is the flag on top... Still, a bit creepy!

Spooky!
Same thing I'm thinking
My first thought was CGI, but now I think it is a disguised rocket launch base.
same as me. so weird.
Yeah. Wondering what's under there. Is the top going to open up & release missiles? Is it a secret military base? Or illegal research lab?

Why does it look more like an alien invasion spaceship? Is it just me thinking it to be so or is it obvious ?
It actually creepily looks alot like a missile launcher or a missile, don't you think?
It looks like a 1980's take of a spaceship. Very Miami Vice.
Is it earth quake proof? Can you imagine the sheer weight of the building upon the foundation ? I marvel that of the foundation laid to bare the weight is a phenominal achievement. One has to wonder how deep the basement goes down and how it bares this weight for the past 30 years, is quite amazing. The glass covering this structure and the weight of it and the structural integrity of this concrete building to bare the weight of it's clad glass exterior is also amazing. And then the weight of the the other special features seems remarkable that the structure has not collapsed under it's own weight.
Interesting thoughts... atleast something amusing about it.. haha
It's been there 30 years

I love this channel. Imagine if schools used these to educate, then bring out a teacher to engage the kids,ask questions and actually learn.
School would be amazing.
Except teachers should use facts, and not just a bunch of made up "buzz words". Very few actual facts in these videos. Made up situations to make simpletons feel valid. Sad Times.
I totally agree with you!
This really isn't useful information though. I see comments like these on history videos all the time, "I would've loved history if it were taught like this, we need it in schools!" But the reality is that we don't need to teach kids about what happened to Hitlers childhood diary or the history of an abandoned hotel. It's 99.99% entertainment and 0.01% useful long term knowledge.

@@NervesofNoodles Okay, I can agree with that!
I remember the one time I stayed there it was spacious and rather quiet. Probably the best hotel I’ve ever been to
There's no way I would stay in that hotel, even if I could. I'm surprised it hasn't already started falling apart.
Otto Warmbier was an American student visiting North Korea in mid- 2010s - and they locked him up & treated him so cruelly that he died from a brain starved of oxygen. After that, what sane person would want to be a tourist in North Korea?
The same kind of people who want to do something 'daring' like that moron who hung off the side of a building and fell.
There is a direct relation between stupidity and megalomania. Gotta feel "special".
It was so cruel. It should happen to however did that to him and the ones who ordered them.
They strangled him?
Otto did nothing wrong. There is no evidence of him doing anything wrong at all.
This reminds me of a video game called Shivers. Where a professor commissioned the construction of his own museum which was in construction for twenty years and never opened due to many delays, at which point construction was abandoned entirely. Then two youngsters and the professor mysteriously vanished inside the building and it stood empty for fifteen years before the game took place.
Very impressive presentation. Well done! :D
In a country where most hotels have empty floors, patchy utilities, the mall doesn't have real products to sell, and tourists are assigned 'government guides'. this building just oddly makes sense. LOL.

They could have used that money to feed the citizens. I've heard horror stories from some defectors about what they eat.
N. Korean workers can earn up to $221 a year if they get all their bonuses!
@@StaredownGames wow
Yeah just don’t believe everything defectors say, especially North Korean ones. So many of these “defectors” were proven to be lying or exaggerating because there is just such a good market for Korea bashing in our media. Stories of North Korea are especially absurd because they’re essentially unverifiable. I have no stake in this game but just be skeptical of really convenient narratives. It can be harmful in caricaturizing The country and dehumanizing Korean people. Just recognize that there is an incentive to lie and exaggerate so don’t take every horror story you hear as fact.

Unfortunately for North Korean officials, concrete, especially unreinforced concrete, won't last forever. At some point that entire structure will have to come down. All that remains is to decide will the North Koreans or nature make it happen.
I'm betting on nature.
I think nature will take it, then the North Koreans will blame foreign workmanship
I think nature since they havent touched the building ever since their sugar daddy (USSR) fell
I’m betting nature will win🎉🎊

Although North Korea has added something to the table most hotels don't - a listening device! We know every visiting foreigner is monitored closely. Listening in on your tourist/personal talks, audio (if not in room video) recording, translation, write it all up and store for future use.
So ive been hearing that the reason this hotel never opened was because of its many structural issues and the fact that is still not fully developed I'm curious as to what it would look like if it was to be completed
I’m curious too 🤔

Thanks for the video. I've heard of this abandoned hotel in NK, but this is the first time I've learnt so much about about it. Appreciate your effort.
I went on the Shanghai tower before in 2018 and a man on drugs busted a wall into another room
The grand light shows on the Ryugyong Hotel is such a waste of precious electricity, considering that Pyongyang's electrical infrastructure already isn't powerful enough to support the entire capital. This is why power outages are so common, not just in hotels but in the entire city.
The "Enigma" machines in the hotel rooms are probably microphones with transmitting devices so the North Korean police can listen to conversations the visitors think are private.
After what the North Korean government did to Otto Warmbier a few years ago, that's one country I will NEVER visit! Warmbier suffered severe torture and abuse after being sentenced to 15 years of hard labor at one of that country's notorious prison camps. The young man supposedly stole a "propaganda poster" from the hotel where he was staying, although the poster was not in his luggage at the time of his arrest and has never been located.
More than a year later, a comatose Warmbier was repatriated to the US due to what doctors termed severe brain damage, possibly a result of waterboarding and various other torture methods. He died soon after his return, having never regained consciousness.
Consequently, North Korea-watchers report that the country's tourism activity appears to be non-existent.
I would b afraid the vacation there. ✌
I remember this story. Scary and sad

You and the North Korean people are so much like us; it's tragic that our governments can't get along, because we are all family and would share what we have with each other.
@alec r27 We don't know that he did anything he was accused of! That video used as "proof" was of a man taking a poster down. It was grainy and filmed at night with little lighting -- no way to tell if it was Otto or not.
Of course it's a spying machine.
And i think the tower would be best used as a clock and for weather report.
How cool it would to first look for weather at the scraper and see the sky together for double assurance.
Or maybe they put their nukes in there
I concur. No doubt it’s a spying machine that records voices or images

Could have been half the time shorter with the same info, but still worth watching for more info regarding this infamous building.
The thumb nail pic which shows the monolith structure of the hotel… seems like ‘The Nun’ is standing tall 😂.
There are many projects through the world, like this, and it's so depressing when you see a building half-finished and just eerie feeling, empty space, not used properly, always reminds you of something not finished or some dark story... I would never alow for that kind of building to just stay like that, Nothing worse then that...
It would be so much better to open it up, let people live in it. 3000 rooms. One room 2 people. 6000 people. Then it collapses. 6000 people die. Ya nothing worse then leaving it empty.
Wasted potiental
Yes very true. North Korea definitely takes the cake tho.
There are entire cities (or parts of cities) that are empty in different some parts of the world. Seems like world leaders are sometimes delusional-ly ambitious.

Other youtubers are super annoying and repetitive about it and I get sick of hearing it from them. You make it a joy to hear lol. If I could double like and subscribe to your videos I would! :)
just make a new account
No one in their right mind would ever visit this place as you may return without a mind.
Hehehehe. Funny but not really.
"where's your mind?"
"Oh, I must have left it on the drawer beside the bed in North Korea"
Sauron is proud of Kim now.
I've never been to Asia and it's highly unlikely I will go. Also, considering jow long it's been since that project started, I don't think that the hotel will open any time soon.
Should have used cardboard instead of concrete.
That's what they did at the border, built fake homes to look like a prosperous country, i think there's a video on that
i'm in love with his soothing voice 😌
Yeah,it does sound quite soothing!!!

One of these days, it will crumble.
Gravity falls has the biggest opportunity to use that building lights.
It is NOT that that 'North Korea backed the USSR' and 'South Korea backed the USA', the USSR backed North Korea, and the USA backed South Korea.
They should turn it into a drive-in movie, and start their own Korrywood, and show movies every night.
If they put a swingset and grassy area out front, the kids could play on it until dark-thirty when the show starts!
No car? No problem!
Set up a blanket by one of those little metal speakers.
Good times!
Can you imagine the number of little cars with fogged up windows shaking the landscape. Concession stand kiosks could sell condoms like it should have back in the US during the 50/70’s. Then half of the the little meth-heads of the 90’s would not have reproduced into the geniuses we have today. oops that might be my personal story.
North Koreans are literally starving and can't afford rice. They were just told to "eat less for 5 years" by Kim Jung Un who had to lose weight bc of obesity. I don't think they want to a drive-in movie theatre. And the curfews are definitely before dark-thirty! :/
@@sithlordhibiscus9936 yeah. It's a total joke.
it was a middle finger to the south, then it backfired
We used to call that "The American Embassy".
Literally the second I saw the city and the building I felt like it was in Pyongyang, I don't even know why.
Pyongyang just gives out the vibe of grey sad city, kinda like NYC if there wouldn't be a central park.
Like you said waste of money and space. So many opportunities to fix up the hotel but No and instead of wasting money on a hotel that will never get finished N. Korea could take all that money and help out their people.
I looked through the comments and no one else mentioned that Old Brick Hotel that you said had never had a single guest.
That hotel is the Baker Hotel and it is in Mineral Wells Texas and I have been a guest in that hotel back when it was open.
The city of Mineral Wells Texas had Mineral Springs and people particularly celebrities came from all over to soak in that water.
People like Clark Gable and other famous movie stars stayed in that hotel that you said had never had a single guest...
This documentary is great, it actually amazed me coz their intention of being the tallest hotel in Korea turned out to be the tallest un-occupied building for 30years
Documentary?
I saw that there was zero to none cars on the streets and assumed directly that it was North Korea
I have been to DPRk and have seen the hotel with my own eyes - it is enormous. We were permitted to take photos of it dominating the Pyongyang skyline but forbidden to take photos close to it.
One day we were right outside the building - pallets of building materials surrounded the grounds - and as soon as we attempted to take a close-up pic the guides shouted and stopped us taking pics.
I would turn it into the envy of all zipline parks. I would also have a skatepark inside, along with paths for bikes, EUCs, Onewheels, etc. Scooters encouraged, but only if you know what's going on. May have to throw in a basketball court for my man Dennis Rodman.
We need to sign a petition for this
hell yeah
