US-based journalist Jin Chun-gyu, who recently published a book titled “Pyongyang Time Flows with Seoul Time” based on his time in the North Korean capital in Oct. 2017. This was when international and inter-Korean tensions related to North Korean nuclear weapons were intensifying. The book contains a number of photographs that show Pyongyang residents going about their daily lives. On Aug. 15, Jin took another visit to Pyongyang, his seventh trip to North Korea. His stay lasted for 16 days and 15 nights and concluded on Apr. 29. He not only visited Pyongyang but went to Kaesong, where the joint industrial complex operated before its shutdown in 2016, and Panmunjom, where the inter-Korean summit was held on Apr. 27. The above photos show images taken from the North Korean side of Panmunjom as well as in the city of Kaesong.
