Height of arrogance   Yun Seok-yeol, the candidate for the next presidency comes under the strong public criticism as he cocked his feet up on the chair on the opposite side with his shoes on in the train. The south Korean mass outlets sharply denounced his behavior as senseless act, egotrip and greenhorn of morality. The south Korean Internet websites are inundated with the articles in condemnation of Yun who gave people an unfavorable impression and saying that he is unqualified running for the presidency and must make apology to the people and resign from candidacy. The civic organizations strongly censured that the abovementioned picture may bankrupt his political career and his running for the presidency may ruin the south Korea.    

Insanity of the invasion of the north   The situation of the Korean peninsula gets more and more instable with the passage of time, owing to the war drills against the north openly conducted by the US and risky provocation act of the south Korean military war maniac.   Days ago, AH-64E V6 Apache helicopters were deployed by the USFK in the US military bases both in Pyeongtaek and Gunsan. This is first time for the US to deploy Apache helicopter of the latest model outside its mainland. Meanwhile, the south Korean military warmongers conducted a cold-endurance field training under the cloak of getting full preparation against attack in the area near the DMZ.   On the other hand, they dispatched P-3 sea patrol planes to the Guam for "Sea Dragon", an antisubmarine rehearsal of multinational coalition conducted under the leadership of the US armed forces, and CN-235 air transport for "Cope North", a joint air combat drill. The US made public that the "Cope North&qu

  Members of 20 odd civic organizations held a peace meeting to issue a statement in denunciation of the sanction against the north, additional deployment of THAAD and reckless remark of preemptive strike, which can cause "the 2nd Korean war" on February 23. "Unification bridge" across the Imjin River near Panmunjom serves as a military facility and a checkpoint so civilians are strictly restricted in their actions, this is not a national bridge connected with independent and peaceful reunification, but an anti-reunification bridge that no one can cross over on, a chairman of this meeting gave vent to his feeling of bitterness. A personage made a firm pledge to reunite the Korean peninsula before the uncrossable anti-reunification bridge.   Poster denouncing preemptive strike and THAAD deployment    In demand of peace against war    

In demand of revoking regulations of "the day of Juk Islet" A joint contents show to prove Dok Islet belong to Korea was held in the educating house for experiences of Dok Islet in North Gyeongsang Province from the 16th of February. This show is aimed at denouncing the commemoration of "the day of Juk Islet", which Japan celebrates to assert its "dominium" over Dok Islet, and at its withdrawal, the Dok Islet Foundation stressed. The secretary general of the Dok Islet Foundation resolved to declare that Dok Islet is in Korean possession and widely expose the wild ambition of Japan to seize Dok Islet on this occasion, censuring that celebrating "the day of Juk Islet" is like thief cries for a thief.

A press conference for declaration of anti-US struggle   Of late, the 46th anti-US monthly meeting for dissolution of the south Korea-US alliance and withdrawal of the US troops from south Korea was held in the form of a press conference outside the US embassy in Seoul. The press conference was held under the sponsorship of the preparatory committee of the national reunification meeting for independence and great unity of the nation. It made a fresh determination to wage a campaign for independent unification against the US in 2022 and strongly demanded the dissolution of the south Korea-US alliance, pullout of the US troops from south Korea, abandonment of the US hostile policy toward north Korea and permanent discontinuance of the joint south Korea-US war exercises. Sharply criticizing the US and south Korean authorities' hostile actions against north Korea, the participants called for the people to take the road of national independence and break off relations with the US throug

  On February 22, 1998 Chairman  Kim Jong Il , talking to some commanding officers of the Korean People's Army, emphasised the importance of army-people unity. At that time KPA units were further displaying the trait of helping the people as never before. In the previous year, too, KPA soldiers went to take upon themselves difficult tasks in socialist cooperative farms. When a unit came to know that there was a delay in the construction of a reservoir to supply drinking water to the local residents it turned out and completed the project in a day. The military officers thought they had good army-people unity. But the Chairman had a different idea. He said,  "Now some people think that the army-people unity would be OK if only they provide the army with aid materials, but what we call army-people unity does not mean anything like that." He went on to say.  "It is important in realising army-people unity that the army helps the people and the latter aid the former with

  On May 31, 1999, Chairman  Kim Jong Il  arrived at the field training ground of a company after crossing high, rugged mountains. It was just before lunchtime. He learned about the soldiers' training and moved to a makeshift kitchen in a corner of the field. Seeing the side dishes piled up on the table, he asked what was the menu for lunch. Then he edged closer to the "kitchen wagon," on which the ovens were steaming hot. "Let me see what is ready for my soldiers' meal." He mounted the wagon and opened the ovens one by one. Stepping down, he said to the officers: In the period of field training the soldiers should be served with hot, good dishes. They might be unusually hungry, so it is necessary to feed them better and on time. You should serve meals at appointed hours lest they should go hungry. To do so, you should lay out the field kitchen well and ensure enough supply of rice and other foodstuffs so that meals could be prepared in good time. Then the C

  Recently, volume 1 of " Kim Jong Un  Era Studies" dealing with the great personality of General Secretary  Kim Jong Un  was published in south Korea. It was written by Park Gyeong-sun, a historian of 63 years. The writer stressed that the announcement of opening up of  Kim Jong Un  era in 2012 to mark the 100th birth anniversary of President  Kim Il Sung  is one of the inevitabilities of history. She said that this book was written with a purpose for giving a clear answer to how significant the north's change in the last 10 years is for the Korean nation. The preface to this book tells what the grand strategic idea of General Secretary  Kim Jong Un , who has brought about miraculous victory to be specially recorded in history by dint of self-reliance for the past 10 years, is and how it is being put into practice, and how it will be carried out in future in relation to the details of political, economic, military and cultural achievements. The first part of volume 1 tit

  It was one day in January, Juche 79 (1990). Chairman Kim Jong Il gave instructions to officials concerned. He said that the popular masses are the masters of the revolution and construction and they have unfathomable strength and creative wisdom so our party should become a party to serve the people and its all lines and policies should reflect the will and demands of the broad sections of the people. He stressed that we, officials, should always get into the people and learning from them with an open mind and sharing life and death with them. Also he said they should regard serving the people as the sense of their great honour and pride. "We serve the People!" He also mentioned that the People's Army took the slogan "We serve the country!" so officials should keep the slogan "We Serve the People!" to their selves. Upholding this slogan they were determined to be the true servants of the working masses.  

  Recently, the south Korean authorities try to purchase 20 Stealth fighters F-35A more after buying 40 fighters. F-35A is a kind of mass of faults which cannot guarantee its performance. 910 technical defects were found when it was developed in 2006.  The US Department of Defense admitted over 870 defects which cannot be fixed in the middle of January last year. The Bloomburg exposed that F-35A had many defects including software and hardware though it had been installed with over 800 electronic parts through its annual reports. The military experts express their doubts about capability of F-35A. F-35A should be fixed only at abroad including the USA when it is out of order as the south Korean military authorities have no capacity to fix itself. It takes over 90 days to fix it and it has not been allowed to be improved its performance without the approval of the US. It takes 36 000 $ per hour for its running and tens of millions for its upkeep and arrangement annually. F-35A is nothin

  Recently, the US massively ships nuclear strategic assets into the vicinity of the Korean peninsula. Days ago, the US and Japanese naval groups of warships including the US nuclear-powered flattops, "Carl Vinson" and "Lincoln Abraham", landing helicopter carriers, "America" and "Essex", and a helicopter-carrying convoy belonging to the Japanese Maritime Self-defense Force, conducted a multinational naval rehearsal in the waters around the Korean peninsula. "Nevada", an Ohio-class submarine and one of the three major nuclear strategic assets of the US, arrived in Guam and two "B-1B", strategic bombers of the US Air Force, staged a bombing exercise over the East Sea last month. Meanwhile, the US redeployed a "WC-135W", a special reconnaissance plane, for guard against the north in the US military base in Japan. The north is encircled by the US nuclear strategic assets, it is unprecedented that the US naval fleet is c

Apologize to the Workers!   On December 24, 2008, during a visit to the Chollima Steel Complex  Kim Jong Il  stopped at the smelters'canteen. He said he was pleased to see that mineral water as well as nutritious foods was served to the workers. Suddenly, pulling a face, he commented that the temperature in the canteen was low and he felt cold. Then he said: "It's no use the workers eating in such a cold place, however good the foods are. You are wrong not to have done anything even though you must have seen the workers eating in this cold room." The officials had considered the workers to be lucky to have nutritious foods at a time when everything was in short supply, and had paid little attention to the low temperature in the canteen. Kim Jong Il  said that the manager and the chief secretary of the Party committee of the complex should gather the workers and apologize to them for their mistake and ensure that the temperature in the canteen was raised to an acceptab

  The press and analysts comment that the north's successive super strong offensive against the US drives the present US administration into serious concern. The White House and the Department of State are growing vocal that the rapid development of the north's defense industry is a serious threat as well as a nightmare, it shows their fear of the north, the press asserts. Moreover, outwardly the US administration touts "denunciation" and "strict response", but under the surface it is very disturbed that it might face a new crisis owing to the fiercest DPRK-US showdown ever recorded in history, they criticize. Meanwhile, the analysts raise their voices in denunciation of the ins and the outs of south Korea which are desperately clinging to south Korea-US alliance for political power, while they know full well the US is in deep shit. If the presidential candidates in disregard of the north's invariable demand play into the US hands, they are bound to fall

  We are greeting the 80th February 16, the holiday of the greatest national jubilation. A fantastic sea of fireworks fills the sky with great national pride and delight of having the great man and a hymn of praise resounds far and wide across the world at every return of the Day of the Shining Star. 80 years have passed since Chairman  Kim Jong Il  was born at the Paektusan Secret Camp as the son of anti-Japanese revolutionary guerrillas and the Korean people were blessed with another illustrious leader and a bright future was opened for the nation.

DPRK in its glory   Thanks to the respected Marshal  Kim Jong Un , the lifeline of the Juche revolutionary cause pioneered by the President  Kim Il Sung  on Mt Paektu is invariably and persistently maintained and a heyday of prosperity is opened up.

  A few days ago, the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration held annual joint meeting to adopt resolution. The participants noted through the statement that the spring of the Korean peninsula would not come if the present south Korean authorities persist in the alliance with the US and arms buildup and the US administration keeps hostile policy toward DPRK. We have to persuade the US administration to make policy switchover. We will wage an intense struggle against the US policy for world hegemony and hostile policy against the DPRK under the banner of national independence, they noted. Meanwhile, Headquarters of Youth and Students for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration held 22nd session. It confirmed orientation of this year as opposition to the hostile policy toward the DPRK, realization of national independence, extension of students' organization for the reunification and the strengthening of the unity after reviewing last year's strugg

According to its head Jon Chang Suk who is a winner of the title of People's Teacher, the kindergarten regards it as a principle to discover the natural talents of children and give lessons suited to their aptitude. Its teachers are all university graduates. Among them are model professors who won a high appreciation at national teaching competitions.

By the close of the year Juche 98 (2009), in a bid to invade the northern half of Korea, the south Korean belligerent forces cranked up tension on the West Sea. Kim Jong Un  ensured that the sailors of the Korean People's Army kept a watchful eye on enemy movements. In a November skirmish they dealt a crushing blow to them. Petrified by the KPA sailors' resolute response, the enemy beat a hasty retreat. After being briefed on the results of the naval operation,  Kim Jong Un  asked the officers concerned if there were an sailors who had been wounded in the battle. The officers replied that there were some. Kim Jong Un  said: I would go and see the wounded if I could afford time. You must do you best to save those in a critical condition, so that they can regain health and join the fight to take revenge on the enemy. This is my order. Then he took immediate steps for sending the wounded to hospital and their emergency treatment; he had competent doctors dispatched promptly to the
