麻豆社 Minute: On the myths and legends of North Korea

麻豆社 Minute

Available for over a year

In the final part of this 麻豆社 Minute series on North Korea, we look at the myths and legends about the country. With power based on the cult of personality, there have been some fanciful stories about the talents of Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un. But did Kim Jong-il really invent the hamburger? We asked 麻豆社 Monitoring's Alistair Coleman.
