Football match at Kim Il Sung Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea - Travel Shorts 2
More about my trip to the DPRK here:
During an exciting four-day trip to North Korea (officially DPRK) with tour group Koryo Tours, I was lucky enough to see a football match between DPRK and the Philipines. It was a FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifying match which ended in a 0-0 draw, sadly.
Pay attention to how big and how organised that crowd is on the other side. Amazing.

The Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance Arirang 아리랑 축제 아리랑 祝祭 are held in the Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea. The two-month gymnastics and artistic festival celebrates the birthday of Kim Il-sung 15 April.
The Mass Games praise the Workers Party of North Korea, its armed forces, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. North Korean iconography:- a rising sun symbolizes Kim Il Sung. When a gun is shown, it signifies the gun which Kim Il Sung gave to his son Kim Jong Il. The color red, particularly in flowers, stands for the working class. And the color purple and red flowers represent Kim Il Sung (the flower 'Kimilsungia is a purple orchid and the flower 'Kimjongilia' is a red begonia). A snowy mountain with a lake represents Mount Paektu where Kim Jong Il (who North Koreans believe) was born in a log cabin.
The opening event of the two month festival is the mass games, which are famed for the huge mosaic pictures created by more than 30,000 school children, each holding up coloured cards, accompanied by complex and highly choreographed group routines performed by tens of thousands of gymnasts and dancers.

바로 그 맞은편에 위치한 김일성경기장. 국제유소년축구대회 조별리그가 한창이다. 개막 전인데도 경기장을 찾아 훈련 경기를 느긋하게 즐기고 있는 북한 주민들. 최근 북한에서 스포츠에 대한 관심이 높아졌다고 한다. “축구를 주로 인터넷으로 보시나요? 아니면 TV로 보시나요?” “TV로 또 신문, 잡지로 봐요” “북쪽 방송에서 스포츠 관련 뉴스가 많이 있습니까? 어느 정도예요?” “많습니다. 스포츠를 좋아하는 사람도 많고 관심도도 높으니까. 저희가 요구하는 만큼 충족시킬 만큼은 다 있습니다” 그런데 이때, “그런데 메시는 좀 실수율이 많고, 11미터벌차기 패널티킥도 메시는 실수가 좀 많단 말입니다” 여자축구선수단의 북측 수행원과 무심코 이야기를 나누던 한준희 KBS축구해설위원. 북측여자들도 싫어한다는 체육 얘기에 빠져든다. “그러면 메시, 호날두 다음으로 누가 많이 알려져 있나요?” “네이마르, 수아레즈 그 다음에는 음바페, 그리즈만, 벨, 그 다음에는, 벨, 웨일즈 팀에 있잖습니까, 벨” “아, 베일!” “호날두와 베일하고 한 팀에 있지 않습니까? 근데 호날두 다음에 제 눈에 들어온 게 베일이더란 말입니다. 그 팀에서, 레알 마드리드 팀에서” “호날두가 최근에 레알 마드리드를 떠난 건 아시죠, 당연히?” “네, 압니다” “호날두가 없으면 베일이 더 꽃을 피울 수가 있을까요, 없을까요?” “물론 그럴 수 있지 않겠습니까” “호날두가 없으면 베일이 더 잘 할 수 있다?” “그래서 네이마르가 메시를 피하려고 바르셀로나를 떠나지 않았습니까” 보통 내공이 아니다. 스포츠를 통해 마음을 열어가게 되는 남과 북. 어느덧 서로 박수까지 쳐주고 있다.

The Kim Il Sung Stadium is located directly opposite. International youth soccer tournament group stage is in full swing. North Koreans who are enjoying the training games leisurely while looking for the arena even before the opening ceremony. Recently, interest in sports has increased in North Korea. Do you watch football mostly on the internet? Or is it on TV? TV and newspapers, magazines. Is there a lot of sports news on the North Broadcast? How much is it? There are many. There are a lot of people who love sports and there is a lot of interest. We have a lot of mistakes, and the 11-meter penalty kick is a lot of mistakes, said Han Joon-hee, KBS Football Commentator. It falls into the talk of the physical education that the north side girl dislikes. Then, Messi, who's next to Ronaldo? Nemar, Suarez. Next up is Mom Bape, Grizzman, Bell, and then Bell, the Wales team, Bell. Oh, veil! Are not you on a team with Ronaldo and Veil? But after Ronaldo, the veil came to my eyes. On that team, you know that the Real Madrid team has recently left Real Madrid, surely? Yes, I know. Without Ronaldo, could the veil be able to bloom more? Would not Veil be able to do better without Ronaldo? So did Neimar leave Barcelona to avoid Messiah? South and North are going to open their minds through sports. They are clapping each other.

Kim Jong Un and his Wife Visits Football Match on Yanggakdo Stadium
Korean Central Television (조선중앙방송)
The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un looked round the Yanggakdo Football Stadium, together with Ri Sol Ju.
The more than 30 000-seater stadium was built in May, 1989 to match the beautiful scenery of Yanggak Islet.
By successfully hosting international and domestic matches in the past the stadium has made a positive contribution to developing the nation's sports and boosting the friendship with various countries.
Kim Jong Un visited the stadium with a plan to radically remodel the stadium as required by the new century. He dropped in at the room dedicated to its history.
Saying President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il were present at the ceremony for the completion of the stadium, Kim Jong Un recollected with deep emotion the undying exploits they performed for the development of the Juche-based physical culture and sports.
Looking round various parts of the stadium, he specified tasks and ways for carrying out the project.
He said it is the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea to turn the stadium into a football stadium which can represent stadiums of such type across the country as required by the new century.
Indicating in detail the orientation and ways for remodeling the stadium, he formed a strong construction unit capable of carrying out the project in a brief span of time.
To develop physical culture and sports is an important work to augment the national power in every way, demonstrate the indomitable spirit and dignity of Songun Korea before the world and let all the service personnel and people dynamically step up the building of a thriving socialist nation full of national pride and self-esteem, he said.
He expressed expectation and belief that the relevant fields would successfully remodel the stadium as a football stadium to be impeccable in any aspect.
He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Jang Song Thaek, Hyon Yong Chol, Ri Yong Gil and officials of the relevant field.

Meeting a young Kim Il Sung (North Korean movieclip)
Korean Language
From the movie serie Star of Korea (조선의 별) 1980
The poet and composer Kim Hyok(김혁) meets Kim Sŏng Ju, before he was given the name Kim Il Sung.
10 Years after the movie, Kim Il Sung wrote in his reminiscences:
(...)Kim Hyok, who nowadays is known as a revolutionary poet, was a comrade of mine. He made a lasting impression on me in my youth.
It is more than half a century since his death, but I still remember him. I first met him in the summer of 1927. As I was talking with my teacher Shang Yue in the corridor after a Chinese lesson, Kwon Tae Sok hurried up to me and told me that I had a visitor. He said that the stranger was standing with a spectacled man named Cha Gwang Su at the front gate.
I found a young man with a girlish, handsome face, standing, a trunk in his hand, at the gate with Cha Gwang Su, waiting for me. It was the young man, Kim Hyok, whom Cha Gwang Su had been extolling as a talent whenever he had the opportunity. Before Cha Gwang Su had time to introduce him to me, he introduced himself, saying, I am Kim Hyok, and held out his hand for a handshake. I gripped his hand and introduced myself I felt a special attraction towards Kim Hyok (...)
Kim Hyok stayed with me in my room for three days, and we talked every night. On the fourth day he left for Xinantun, where Cha Gwang Su was working, in order to acquaint himself with the situation in the rest of Jirin.
At my first meeting with him I realized that he was a man of great passion. While Cha Gwang Su was boisterous, Kim Hyok was fiery. Usually he was calm and quiet but, once excited, he boiled like a blast furnace, and was extremely vehement. He had traveled the three Far Eastern countries living through weal and woe just as Cha Gwang Su had done. Though an adventurer, he was upright. Through the conversations we had I found him to be widely informed and a great theoretician. In particular, he had a profound knowledge of literature and the arts. (...)
Kim Hyok's fiery character was expressed in practice in his loyalty to the revolution. As a revolutionary, he had a high sense of responsibility and loyalty. He was older than me by five years and had studied in Japan, but he never revealed any sign of such things. He always accepted sincerely the assignments we gave him. That was why I treasured him and loved him particularly. (...)
Kim Hyok, like Cha Gwang Su and Park Hun, had joined hands with us after wandering foreign lands far away from his homeland in pursuit of the path Korea should follow. Cha Gwang Su had written to him about us when he was wasting his life sighing, eating another's salt at a lodging house in the French concession in Shanghai. Don't waste your valuable life in Shanghai. Come to Jirin and here you will find the leader, the theory and the movement you are seeking. Jirin is an ideal place for you!... Cha Gwang Su had written to him not once, but three or four times. That was how he had come to us.
Having inspected the city of Jirin over several days after making our acquaintance, Kim Hyok had said, as he gripped my hand, Sung Ju, I will drop my anchor here. My life starts from now. It was when they were studying in Tokyo, Japan, that Cha Gwang Su and Kim Hyok had become bosom friends. I still remember Kim Hyok leading the song International and shedding tears when we were forming the Young Communist League.
That day Kim Hyok took me by the hand and said in the following vein: Once I took part in a demonstration with some Chinese students in Shanghai. When I saw them marching the streets, shouting anti-Japanese slogans, I became excited and jumped into the ranks of the demonstrators. When the demonstration was frustrated, I returned to my lodging, wondering what was to be done next, what was to be done the following day. As I belonged to no political party or organization, there was nobody to tell me where to gather or what to do the next day, or to tell me how to fight. While demonstrating I thought how good it would be if there was somebody who would shout Forward! to me when I was discouraged during the demonstration, how encouraging it would be if I had an organization and a leader to tell me what I should do the following day as I was going home after the demonstration, how happy I would be if I had comrades who, if I was shot and fell, would call Kim Hyok! Kim Hyok! as they wept over me, and how good it would be if they were Koreans in a Korean organization. I was haunted by these thoughts even when I was marching towards the enemy's guns, but here in Jirin, how fortunate I am to meet such fine comrades! I can hardly express my feeling of pride now that I have become a member of the Young Communist League!
