There are more than a dozen leader's residences in North Korea, according to Kim Jong Il’s former bodyguard Lee Young-kuk.[1] Many of the residences were identified on satellite images[2] in the North Korea Uncovered project.[3] Ryongsong Residence is the central residence of Kim Jong Un.[4] All residences are kept secret by the North Korean government and few photographs exist.[5]
