Kim Jong Un is turning heads, and it’s not just because of his recent visit to North Korea’s largest hot springs resort. The Onpo Workers’Recreation Center has undergone a massive transformation since the dictator declared it “uncultured and unsanitary” back in 2018. Now, it’s bursting with gleaming amenities and friendly faces, all thanks to a renovation that turned this spot into a natural monument, eliciting a rare grin from Kim himself.
As he toured the new facilities, Kim couldn’t contain his joy, mingling with visitors enjoying the hot tubs. While everyone around him was in swimwear and having a blast, he kept his coat tightly wrapped—perhaps an interesting choice for a spa day. As the TikToks called it, “woke Kim” is here! But let’s talk about that promotional music—there’s always room for improvement, right?
The energy was palpable as he interacted with the happy crowd, showcasing a side rarely seen from the controversial leader. This visit certainly seems like a clever PR move, but it appears to be working, as happiness often follows a little pampering. Who knew relaxing in a hot spring could spark so much gleeful conversation?
