A beach resort dubbed the “North Korean Benidorm” is now filled with faeces after its abandoned and unfinished hotels have been overtaken by homeless people.
The resort was meant to be built near the city of Wonsan and got its nickname after Kim Jong-un reportedly sent a fact-finding mission to Spain’s Costa Blanca in 2017.
But the dictator’s deadline for completion was too ambitious, slipping from April to October 2019 and then again to April 2020 before work ground to a halt during the pandemic.
And now locals have revealed that the site, which was once used for missile tests, is filled with faeces and overrun by “kkotjebi” – a North Korean term for homeless people.
