Information on the location
The Kim Il-sung Square (Korean 김일성광장) is a large city square in the Central District of Pyongyang, North Korea, and is named after the country's founding leader, Kim Il-sung. The square was constructed in 1954 according to a master plan for reconstructing the capital after the destruction of the Korean War. It was opened in August 1954. The square is located on the foot of the Namsan Hill, west bank of the Taedong River, directly opposite the Juche Tower on the other side of the river.

Appearance in the rap battle
This is the location where Kim Jong-il rapped his second verse. He began inside a Hanok room, before the balcony opened up to reveal the WPK Central Committee Building with a launcher vehicle in the back. It appears again during Macho Man Randy Savage's line, "So spend less time rapping and start feeding your people!" with a "MacHoman's", a pun of "Macho Man" and the McDonald's restaurant brand.
