In this episode of North Korea: The Secret History, Lucas and Luna descend into one of the DPRK's most hidden horrors: the Kaechon Underground City, a network of tunnels and caverns carved out of limestone by tens of thousands of political prisoners. Built in the 1960s under Kim Il-sung's direct orders, this subterranean complex was designed to house a secret military command center, but its construction came at an appalling human cost. They explore the logistics of the massive excavation, the role of the Kaechon concentration camp (Kwanliso 14) as a slave labor supply, the camp's connection to the wider gulag system known as 'kwanliso', and the fate of the prisoners who died in the tunnels. Drawing on rare defector testimonies and satellite imagery analysis, the episode pieces together the scale and secrecy of a project that remains officially unacknowledged. Lucas also ties Kaechon to North Korea's broader culture of underground facilities — from the Pyongyang Metro built as a bomb shelter to the hundreds of hidden military bunkers dotting the country — and asks what these subterranean spaces reveal about the regime's survival mentality. #Kaechon #KaechonUndergroundCity #NorthKorea #Kwanliso14 #PoliticalPrisoners #KimIlSung #Gulag #Kwanliso #PyongyangMetro #DefectorTestimony #SatelliteImagery #HumanRights #DPRK #ColdWar #SecretBunkers #UndergroundFacilities #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
