SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is touring North Korea’s monuments.
State TV on Thursday showed Rodman getting a look at towers and buildings in central Pyongyang as a guide told him about late North Korean founder Kim Il Sung.
North Korea’s official news agency said the flamboyant star known as “The Worm” also visited a palace where Kim and his son Kim Jong Il lie in state, and said he paid “high tribute.”
Rodman is joining three members of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in a news show on North Korea that will air on HBO later this year.
