The city of Shanghai in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: the name of a city that does not exist

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea does not have a city named "Shanghai". The major cities of the DPRK, including the capital Pyongyang, Nampo, Hamhung, and Chongjin, do not have the administrative division name "Shanghai". There may be confusion over the names of the cities, such as mistakenly associating the Chinese city of Shanghai with North Korea, or a lack of understanding of North Korea's local administrative system. The naming of cities in the DPRK often reflects its historical, political or geographical characteristics, such as Pyongyang meaning "flat land", while the name "Shanghai" refers to the coastal economic center in China, which is not related to the city naming convention of the DPRK. Therefore, "Shanghai, DPRK" is a non-existent geographical concept, and it is recommended to verify the exact city name or the source of the relevant information.
