The Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC), a joint venture between North Korea and South Korea that hosted South Korean manufacturers inside North Korea and employed North Korean labor, shut down in 2016 amid deteriorating relations. Recent commercial imagery analysis shows a moderate uptick in activity—especially since 2023.
This renewed activity could signal that North Korea is preparing to restart some industrial activity at the KIC with internal resources or is refurbishing the complex to attract allies more aligned with North Korea.
