These Photos Taken in Secret Were Never Meant to Make it Out of North Korea

The Kimjongilia Festival, a notable event in North Korea, attracts crowds despite a gloomy weather backdrop. Photos rarely capture the genuine enjoyment of North Koreans, hinting at subdued festivities under the cloudy skies.

Contrary to expectations, the festival attracts beautiful, vibrant attire, particularly among women. This departure from the norm suggests that North Koreans embrace the occasion with their finest wear, adding splashes of color to the drab weather.
