North Korea to halt Mass Games after Kim fury: Tour firms

North Korea will temporarily suspend its spectacular "Mass Games" propaganda displays from next week, travel agencies said Wednesday, after leader Kim Jong Un censured the show's content.

This year's show, titled "The Land of the People", had its premiere on Monday and was expected to run until October.

But Kim Jong Un "seriously criticised" the performance creators for "their wrong spirit of creation and irresponsible work attitude", the official KCNA news agency reported, and travel agencies operating tours to the isolated North have since been told that the displays would be "temporarily halted".

Koryo Tours was told that from June 10 "the Mass Games will be paused while some adjustments and alterations take place", general manager Simon Cockerell told AFP.

No wonder him and Trump get along so well.

is that their wrong spirit of creation is not a slap on the wrist. I think we'll be reading about their execution and replacement shortly. Trump will say nothing but will be disappointed that he cannot do the same.
