While people outside the DPRK focused on the drama of Hyundai chairwoman Hyun's visit, some 100,000 performers flipped and twirled in perfect synchronicity as the DPRK's most lavish spectacle, the Mass Games, opened in Pyongyang.

This year's show has as its focus the nation's goal of achieving prosperity by 2012, the 100th anniversary of the birth of its founder, the late Kim Il-sung. Reuters |
