SEOUL, Sept 2 —This middle class home offers a glimpse into life in North Korea, but it’s actually on display in South Korea.

The apartment is part of a exhibition, which opened on Saturday in Seoul and shows life in the capital of North Korea.

It’s a replica of a home in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang where the property market is booming despite sanctions.

In North Korea, apartment units are increasingly-coveted status symbol.

Curious crowds thronged the show flat filled with custom-made furniture and North Korean products.

Interested visitors say they’re surprised at how similar the apartment is to their own surroundings. — Reuters
