Russian company makes North Korean workers its selling point

Vladivostok company leverages local reputation with a slick website and social media accounts

Remont Korea specializes in what appear to be high quality renovations, and flouts the regular secrecy normally surrounding DPRK laborers abroad, instead advertising their skills on a slick (Russian only) website complete with a “chat with us” application.
