North Korea said the time change, approved on Wednesday by its rubber-stamp parliament, would come into effect from August 15...

Kim Jong Un isn't exactly viewed as the world's greatest leader by many in the West. However, in his own country, he has demanded god-like status, claiming his family's dynasty has led the country to glory.

“Son, is that you?” Recognizing the weak, shaky voice on the other line, Kevin immediately hangs up the phone. Kevin, the eldest son in his family, defected from North Korea in 1998 when he was 17 years old and is currently a graduate student in South Korea, working odd jobs to save cash to send as remittances to his family, all of whom still reside in North Korea. Several years ago, he sent smart phones to his family so that they could stay in touch.

Aram Pan, a photographer from Singapore, has been traveling through North Korea and recording the experience with a 360-degree video camera as part of his DPRK 360 project—an attempt to give the outside world a better idea of what life inside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is really like.

North Korea holds what can only be called as the "world's most pointless" election exercise, in which voters will have the choice to vote for only one candidate, and abstention from voting is usually considered treason. On Sunday, 19 July, the cloistered state will conduct its local polls for the first time since Kim Jong-un came to power. The country conducts the local polls every four years since 1999, often seen as a futile exercise to legitimize the regime's rule.

North Koreans went to the polls yesterday in what was probably the world's most pointless election.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is turning away from the "military-first" policies of previous decades, and the idolization of previous North Korean leaders is diminishing, according to analysts.
