Would you agree on a pre-emptive strike against North Korea?

You know, you could do the exact same thing for the opposite, show a picture of a rich part of an African country with a poor part of North Korea.

This isnt even Poenjiang but a smaller town. And if NK is so poor how come they can devolope some nukes then?

North Korea has an annual nominal GDP of $25 billion, which sounds like a lot until you realize that it works out to a pathetic $1,000 per capita. Most people actually receive far less than that, because the tyrannical government keeps the majority of that $25 billion and pours it into things like developing nuclear weapons. This is all information that took about five minutes worth of research.

So NK is very poor and that picture is probably either taged for propaganda (like the empty buildings within sight of the South Korean border that serve no purpose other than to [badly] imply prosperity in NK) or it is a picture from another country that is simply being claimed to be North Korean.
