An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

In an alternate, parallel universe, the North Koreans won the Korean War, conquered the entire peninsula, and renamed Seoul (지옥; "The Underworld") to Kim Il-sung City (김일성시; "Kim Il-sung Si") much like the North Vietnamese renamed Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City. In Kim Il-sung city, all lightposts have a portrait of Kim Il-sung painted or embedded onto them, and the speaker atop the central clock tower sings a one-minute adulation of Kim Il-sung on top of the hour, every hour. There are 24 adulations in all.

  • In an alternate, parallel universe, the North Koreans won the Korean War, conquered the entire peninsula, and renamed Seoul (지옥; "The Underworld") to Kim Il-sung City (김일성시; "Kim Il-sung Si") much like the North Vietnamese renamed Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City. In Kim Il-sung city, all lightposts have a portrait of Kim Il-sung painted or embedded onto them, and the speaker atop the central clock tower sings a one-minute adulation of Kim Il-sung on top of the hour, every hour. There are 24 adulations in all. From Kindergarten to 12th Grade in schools in and around Kim Il-sung City, as well as all of Korea, from Busan to Sinuiju, each of those adulations have to be memorized every semester by all students. At the end of each semester, each student is required to sing all the adulations to date, so for example, a HS senior at graduation has to sing all 24 of them. If they miss even a single pronunciation, they'll be whipped for as many times as they mispronounced, and will be set back as many grades as those mispronunciations. (So for example, 4 mispronunciations will kick an 8th grader back to 4th Grade.) This is because they are deemed not to show enough patriotism and respect for the Great Leader. Everyone is to show absolute respect for him, and even missing the completeness of his respect by a nano-micro-millinotch will carry very, very, very, very severe consequences! Instead of intersections, there are roundabouts in Kim Il-sung City, with a 25-foot statue of Kim Il-Sung at the center of EVERY roundabout.
