As a person that visited the palace during a national day, almost everything you said was correct, this place is the most secure place in the country. You require formal wear, I didn't know about hair rules, I supose they refer to unusual color or haircuts. You wait in a building a side the place, then you deposit everything, my two cameras and phone, you pass a security check and a footwear cleaner, next you go to a moving walkway to enter the building, during these minutes you can see leaders photos and the gardens, once you're there you will got to the room at 2:08 to salute the statues, inside the building an instrumental version of the song "The Leader Will Always Be with Us" is played continuosly. You will go to various rooms and halls, then you'll visit the Kim Il Sung room, the room is red and there is a guard in every corner, in the center the body lays, in line you salute him three times at his 6' 9' and 3' you don't salute his head side, everything is fast, you can't stop to see the body, you exit from other door and then go to his exposition room, most of them are medals, gifts and diplomas for other countries and a lot of universities. Next you go to the Kim Jong Il room and the same things happens, three sides and exit the room to see his exposition of goods and gifts. You go back to the main room and the to the moving walkway to retrive your items. A lot of locals were there, civilians and military personnel visiting the place. The thing at 4:04 is true, you're not allowed to hide your hands in your pockets or putting your hands together in the back, this happened to me a lot and I was warned because for them it wasn't respectful. In my defense I will say that I could not help it, I always do it. Other curious fact about the place is that there is a abandoned metro station in it, the Kwangmyŏng Station that was closed in 1995, the train don't stop there anymore.
When I was little my Italian grandpa always scolded me for the hands in the pockets ... I can't remember very well the reason but it was something like "only the good-for-nothing keeps the hands in the pockets, hands are made for working"
You build a 150 story building for who? You've starved and bankrupted the entire country so they're too poor to afford it and you make it impossible for people to travel from other countries to visit NK because just about anything can get them executed or sent to a prison camp for life. So who the hell is the hotel for?
Believe it or not, you can actually visit north korea, although I don’t know why anyone would want to in the first place. Even Americans were allowed into the country until 2017 when the trump administration added north korea to his travel ban list, after the death of Otto warmbier
The 105 story Ryugyong Hotel was supposed to be finished by 1989, for the World Festival of Youth and Students, which Pyongyang hosted that year, as an alternative to Seoul's hosting of the 1988 Summer Olympics. Pyongyang already had a few hotels in existence when work began on the Ryugyong. Work stopped in 1992 after funding dried up due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It wasn't until 2008 that glass and metal cladding were added. Eventually, LED displays were added, turning what was intended to be the largest hotel in the world into a massive illuminated propaganda display.
Actually, the "105 story" building is exaggerated. It doesn't even have 100 floors, floors 4, 14, 24, 34, 40-49, 54, 64, 74, 84, 94, and 104 are skipped and missing. In reality, it only has 86 floors.
The 105-story "Hotel of Doom," never hosted a single guest, but remains a subject of international fascination. Tallest Unoccupied Building in the World. What a waste of money.
The building shown at 4:28 is NOT the Ryongsong Residence. The building we see in the photos shown is the Baekhwawon Guest House, where visiting dignitaries stay and meet with either the supreme leader or other high-ranking officials for diplomatic engagements.

It's a mausoleum, nobody lives in the Giza pyramids either. The Kims are like latter day pharaohs, they need a quasi-temple mausoleum where even in death they can live and "reside" in forever. So in a way, it still has two residents. They just aren't corporeally animated anymore.
It is illegal for visitors of the 'Kumsusan Palace of the Sun' to draw a mustache on one of the Kim Il-sung portraits with a permanent marker. I wish they had informed me before my visit. That would have spared me 25 years hard labor.
Still have no idea why you'd put some abandoned hotel in Croatia within a video about abandoned buildings in North Korea but OK. Like there aint no abandoned buildings in absolutely every country (excluding city-states, ofc) in the world...
What it's bothering, that the architecture share the same resemblace. With the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. I know Kim Ir Sen had close relation with Nicolae Ceaușescu. Plus the former romanian dictator, said something like we could this masterpiece in my country, it could even could beat Taj Mahal. But with cost of the entire country budget, cuting gas, food, heat supplies to extreme. The people couldn't take it anymore.
