Inside North Korea: View from the Arch of Triumph - Hidden Meanings & Military Power

Подробнее о видео

Welcome back to my North Korea series! In this episode, we’re standing atop the Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, capturing a rare perspective of the city’s ideology, military strength, and historical symbolism. This was our second stop on the tour, and it perfectly sets the tone for how North Korea commemorates its victories.
Looking out from the top, you can see a vast empty plaza, a revolutionary mural depicting patriotic struggle, and the lush green Moranbong Park. In the distance stands the Pyongyang TV Tower, a Soviet-inspired structure symbolizing North Korea’s control over information. To the left, you’ll spot a small amusement park—often eerily quiet. But why is this view so significant?
The Arch of Triumph itself is a striking monument, bigger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, standing at 60 meters tall. Built in 1982, it commemorates Kim Il Sung’s role in resisting Japanese occupation from 1925 to 1945. Every detail is designed to emphasize national pride and military power. The inscriptions highlight key dates in North Korea’s revolutionary history, and the structure’s sheer size is meant to project dominance—an architectural embodiment of the country’s ideology.
Join me as I break down the hidden details behind this view and why it matters in the broader narrative of North Korea’s military-first policy. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more deep dives into North Korea’s secretive world!
