Simple Krazy Kim couldn't have the capitol of his workers paradise be less impressive than the evil capitalist regime in the south. So he built up P'yong'yang to be the equal, in terms of how many can live there, of Seoul. Problem is Seoul has a population of 9,630,600 million in the city proper, 19,969,100 million if you include the metro area. Where as P'yong'yang has a population of 2,767,900 in the city, with 3,222,000 million in the metro area. So you have 2.7 million people in a city built for 9 million. You can see why it looke empty.
