I was under the impression that everyone in North Korea basically lived in underground bunkers, with above ground having monuments to Kim Jong Un.

No I will not explain or elaborate.

To be fair, the DPRK are tunnel-maxxers, similar to Hamas, due to the legacy of Statesian bombing campaigns during the Korean War.

And they couldn't afford a drone to take this picture, the crowd just had to get together to throw someone up high enough to snap it. Seventy photographers died before Kim Jong Un was satisfied with the white balance

It's socialist, but not a utopia. No country on Earth is free of problems. It's also extremely difficult to move to the DPRK.

"If the Koreans didn't build things, it was because the country was a failed hellhole. But when in fact they built very impressive things, it was because of slavery. No evidence of slavery was ever found: it was simply taken on faith that they're the Bad Guys, and that's what Bad Guys do, so they must do it."

What we're dealing with is an unfalsifiable orthodoxy

Just because you refer to workers in the DPRK as "slaves" doesn't mean they are. Slavery is a specific form of labor relation, workers in the DPRK collectively own the means of production and distribution.
