In this video, we take a look at Kim Jong Il's birthday, a key event in North Korea. February 16th is a day of great significance, known as the "Day of the Shining Star." North Koreans celebrate it with parades, performances, and gatherings in honor of the late leader. On this day, it's common for citizens to participate in laying flowers at statues of Kim Jong Il and his father, Kim Il Sung. The state often organizes festive activities, including cultural events, performances, and exhibits that highlight the achievements of the Kim regime. National pride is strongly emphasized as the people commemorate the legacy of the country's leadership.
Additionally, our tour bus takes us around North Korea, and we discuss the importance of this day in their daily lives and the collective memory.
The architecture we pass showcases the distinct North Korean style—large, symmetrical structures with traditional roofs, manicured gardens, and well-maintained public spaces. It's a glimpse into the carefully controlled environment of Pyongyang, where order and discipline are highly emphasized.
