People of Pyongyang, rejoice! No longer will you be confined to dreary offices, with no way of de-stressing from your revolutionary work. Praise be to the Young General, for his great vision and the gift of Physical Exercise Centre!

Kim Jong-un and his excellent horse-like lady wife, Ri Sol-ju, have given their approval to the new three-storey exercise facility in Pyongyang. This is all part of the development of Thongil Street, a word meaning “re-unification”.

The North Korean state media has praised the new fitness centre, which it states is “built according to the direct initiative and plan” of the Young General. They add that Kim is “always deeply concerned for the promotion of people’s health and living standards.” This can be seen from his hopeless devotion to his own physique.

This is all part of the plan to allow office workers to “take exercise and receive medical treatment at the centre, [so] they can devote themselves to revolutionary work in good health.” This visit is part of many well publicised visits by the Young General, who it would seem is trying to win favour with the North Korean people to come across as a kind and benevolent dictator.

Outside the boundaries of Pyongyang things aren’t so great – the rest of the country is still struggling with massive food shortages. This comes off the back of the country’s worst drought in recent times earlier this year, worsened by torrential rains and flooding in past weeks.
