News N. Korea operating Hyundai-built accommodations at Mt. KumgangCompany confirms it wasn't aware that DPRK had renamed facility
Photos published on a North Korean travel agency’s website suggest that the country has begun operating accommodations originally established by a South Korean company at the Mount Kumgang resort. Hyundai Asan – which ran the resort from 1999 until 2008 – confirmed to NK News on Monday that the photos feature its properties and that North Korea has apparently renamed the facilities. An official at Hyundai Asan – who wished to remain anonymous – told NK Newsthat the “Kosong [or Goseon] Port Accommodations” promoted in photos and an article on the website appeared to be identical to the company’s © Korea Risk Group.
