North Korea - Culture: Encyclopedia II - North Korea - Culture

There is a vast personality cult around Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and much of North Korea's literature, popular music, theater, and film glorify the two men. In July 2004, the Complex of Koguryo Tombs was the first site in North Korea to be included into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Also a big festival in North Korea is the May day parade which has over 100,000 participants in the show, a spectacle which is economically unviable anywhere else in the world. See also: Culture ...
