Kim Jong Un executes airport architect because the design did not sooth his taste???

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has executed the chief architect of  the  new international Pyongyang airport...This news comes after he was pictured touring the building with his wife just a week ago. Amazing how in this day and time some people still whiled such autonomous power over human life.
According to reports, the architect was executed because Kim was displeased by the design.
The project is the country’s latest bid to appeal to potential tourists since Kim ascended to power in North Korea three years ago and features a jewellery store, coffee bar, a pharmacy, a chocolate fountain and other luxury amenities. More after the cut...

Until his disappearance last year, Ma Won Chun, was North Korea’s director of the Designing Department of the National Defense Commission. His execution was confirmed when he was noticeably absent from the press photos.

Chun was the chief architect behind North Korea’s biggest government projects when he, along with five other high-level officials, were reportedly killed during one of Kim’s purges.

Ma was executed in November 2014 “For corrupt practices and failure to follow orders,” according to an Asian news outlet.

His death coincided with a report explaining that airport renovations were being suspended because of Kim’s dissatisfaction. Defects were manifested in the last phase of the construction of the Terminal 2 because the designers failed to bear in mind the party’s idea of architectural beauty that is the life and soul and core in architecture to preserve the character and national identity,”
