"Arirang produced on the 70th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army has demonstrated before the world the invincible might of Songun (military first) Korea in which the army and people are rallied close around leader Kim Jong-il and the tremendous mental power of the Korean people," the North's official news agency KCNA said in a brief dispatch while announcing the performance schedule.
"The group of creators and performers are successfully pushing forward its re-representation at a final phase," said the report. |
