In Juche Korea, Children are held up as “kings and queens” of the country.

Whenever June comes around every year, our “kings and queens”, the synonym for envy of world people and the symbol of happiness, commemorate their holiday.

June 6th is the founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union, the day when all the parents and people across the country are warmly congratulating the members of Children’s Union who are giving full play to their dreams with the warm blessings of the sun without anything to envy in the world.

The founding anniversaries of the Korean Children’s Union are marked with the warm love of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who dedicated themselves to the development of the Juche-based children’s movement.

President Kim Il Sung personally founded the Korean Children’s Union on June 6th, 1946, though he was preoccupied with the work of building a new country. He blessed the union members, saying that he hopes they grow up in good health into treasures of Korea as well as masters of a new Korea and learn hard to become heroes who would build up a new democratic Korea. During the whole period of his great revolutionary lifetime, he bestowed boundless love and affection on the union members, becoming himself a friendly teacher of schoolchildren and a caring parent of children on every occasion of the founding anniversary and the Congress of the Korean Children’s Union.

Gifted with the President’s love for posterity and the future, Chairman Kim Jong Il saw to that the 20th founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union had been commemorated with a fireworks display which was available only for major holidays of the state, saying that for the “kings and queens” of the country, even a star should be picked from the sky.

On the occasion of 45th anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union, he personally sent to the participants of the Congress a congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea as well as valuable presents to be handed down through generations, marking a significant milestone in history of children’s movement. His smiling face at that time still remains deep in the hearts of union members and our people.

As we hold high the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who carries on the noble outlook on posterity kept by the great leaders who devoted their all for the future of the revolution, the members of the Korean Children’s Union are now held dear as the most precious treasures of priceless worth and growing into strong pillars of the socialist Korea. The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who gives everything possible to the union members, regarding them as the entirety of hope and future, made it a tradition to commemorate the founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union annually on a large scale and made his presence at the  joint national meeting of the Korean Children’s Union in celebration of its 66th founding anniversary, 7th and 8th Congresses of the Korean Children’s Union and wished them bright future, saying that they should grow up into true sons and daughters and child revolutionaries of the socialist motherland. The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un!

He called to the Congress the union members who were still in pains of having sudden loss of Chairman Kim Jong Il who was believed in as in heaven. He also arranged ships and airplanes of love to make sure the delegates living on the far-flung islands and at the out-of-the-way village in an alpine region arrive on time.

There is also a legendary story of love about a union member who was given a certificate of a delegate by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who valued the pure heart of children who would go wherever following the Party, though he came to Pyongyang without any recommendation of the organization or certificate of a delegate.

This story will be handed down forever along with the history of the Korean Children’s Union.

For children, the greatest pride and happiness are the ones of having the best father and living with the father’s blessings.

Indeed, the founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union is a significant holiday when all the children of the country are celebrating their birthdays holding high the greatest and the friendliest father in the world. It is also a precious holiday for all parents, grandparents, older brothers and sisters to join in celebrating the birthdays of their cute sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters and younger brothers and sisters and wish bright future for them.

Hence a foreign personage once highly praised as follows:

“New generation of the DPRK is growing up as the pillars of the county under the warm care of Comrade Kim Jong Un. The Korean children are happy as they are living in the great bosom of love for the posterity.

Thanks to the precious holiday which was proclaimed by the great leaders and being glorified by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the contingent of children is vigorously growing up. Among them are young heroes who sacrifice their lives to guard the WPK Central Committee at the cost of life; young talents who acquired broad knowledge to become the world-famous scientists and inventors, thus fully displaying the honor of the nation on the international arena with their excellent talents; praiseworthy young patriots who dedicate their body and soul for the socialist country.

Our Party and people are gaining great strength and looking forward to the bright future of the country from the trustworthy sight of the Union members.
