Kim's lair

Kim Jong-un's house: A Russian photojournalist was given access to one of the North Korean dictator's lavish homes at an undisclosed location near Pyongyang. According to the tyrant's former bodyguard Lee Young-kuk, the North Korean leader keeps at least eight separate palaces outside the capital. Although Kim has several palaces, pictures of them are hard to come by because the North Korean government has put in place tight security measures to make sure very few photographs exist

These photographs of Kim Jong-un's palatial residence were taken by Russian photojournalist Valery Sharifulin on a recent visit to the hermit kingdom.


The house boasts sumptuous grounds containing beautiful flowers which Kim can enjoy whilst strolling through the gardens. The Photos were taken by a Russian journalist while Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met the North Korean dictator. It is not known if the meeting took place at this residence

The tyrant certainly seems to be a fan of high culture as there are several intricate sculptures scattered all around the vast property

From the atrium there is a far-reaching view down the driveway and out across the open countryside towards the mountains in the distance. Lavrov met with Kim while a former North Korean spy chief travelled to New York and met with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in an attempt to salvage a summit between President Trump and Kim

Inside, the palace is simply decorated with neutral colours bedecking every wall and very few paintings displayed through the house
