KCNA Dismisses Rubbish in S. Korean Paper

Pyongyang, February 11 (KCNA) -- The south Korean reptile paper Chosun Ilbo recently let loose a spate of invectives about the local performance tour made by the Unhasu Orchestra, the DPRK's renowned art troupe.

Having no elementary understanding of the mass-based art, this paper echoed what was aired by Radio Free Asia engaged in the anti-DPRK smear propaganda. It claimed that "the performance was not received well by audience" and "it brought them burden rather than pleasure".

This was wicked elements' trumpeting aimed at doing harm to the single-minded unity of the party and people.

How can such human scum understand the people of the DPRK and its arts?

Inspired by songs, the Korean people's 80 odd year-long just revolutionary struggle started, advanced and won victories.

The Korean revolution and people held aloft the banner of "Let's always be cheerful although our path is thorny!", the banner of confidence and optimism, during the Arduous March, the forced march.

In this glorious course, songs and arts in the DPRK have served as valuable ideological and moral pabulum for the people making revolution that a large quantity of food can hardly substitute.

Even after the loss of the father whom the Korean people deeply trusted and followed, they drew a thousand-fold strength and courage from the songs presented by the orchestra after the start of the advance in the new year. It is setting the hearts of people afire with reverence for the leader in various parts of the country. Its performances evoked a lively response among audience as they helped consolidate the unity between the leader and the people and aroused among them ardent longing for him.

The service personnel and people of the DPRK joined the orchestra in singing songs in tears and rose up, inspired by them. What the above-said media asserted is nothing but a shriek of despair made by those taken aback by the might of the arts, the hot wind raised by the orchestra more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

The reptile paper, a mixture of the American style and Japanese way of life, can never understand the true character and value of the DPRK's arts.

They were so displeased with its local performance tour that they claimed it was unprofitable, the absurd assertion of a merchant. This suffices to guess their level of knowledge about arts.

The smear campaign made by Chosun Ilbo and Radio Free Asia was manipulated by the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and the Intelligence Service.

No matter how desperately the Lee's group work to hurt the single-minded unity of the DPRK, it is as foolish an act as running its head against a wall.

Miserable, indeed, is the position of the Lee's group keen to prolong its remaining days as politicians through escalated confrontation with compatriots. -0-
