臉書粉專「北韓-朝鮮經貿文化情報」15日表示，台灣品牌華碩進軍位在北韓平壤的高檔百貨公司「大成百貨店」。

大成百貨店原先是個大型賣場，後來在金正恩的指導下，轉型為高檔百貨公司。
The Pyongyang store was originally a major retail market, but after the insistence of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, it was transformed into a department store.
除了販賣華碩電腦之外，百貨公司裡還有其他高檔品牌包括Coach、蘭蔻、戴爾電腦。
Asus, along with other luxurious brands from the West, such as Coach, Lancome, and computer brand Dell, were among the few chosen to be housed at the new store.
華碩電腦位在百貨公司三樓的3C產品區，一台15寸筆記型電腦定價約一萬九千元台幣。
Asus is located on the third floor of the department store, featuring a 15-inch laptop priced at around NT$19,000, among other products.
臉書PO文一出，許多台灣網友回應：「我也好想去逛噢」、「多謝支持中華民國產品」。
Following the announcement, many Taiwanese netizens expressed their surprise at Asus computers being featured in North Korea and also voiced their desire to shop there in the future.
