...for the Mass Games event.

This time we will do 'lifting-one

leg after turning'.

You have to hold up your body strongly...

...with the strength of your other leg...

...and stretch onto tiptoes.

Arms up.

You have to keep your arms straight

But at the moment the arms of you

who play on the top all go like this.

Make this pose straight and next...

OK, next the eye-lines when

you lift your heads.

Turn around.

After you turn around, head-kicking, here.

You're not doing this pose properly.

Those who play on the top, watch

how to put your legs together.

Watch!

You should put them together strongly.

The same applies when you

put them apart. This is it.

Now, say "Ya!"

Group gymnastics, is not an

exercise done by one person...

...but by a synchronised group.

Even though it's tiring...

...because you do it together

with classmates...

...group power develops and

individualism completely disappears.

There are a lot of moves

I would rather not do.

There's one where I have to throw the ball...

...and then hold it between my legs.

Look, try this one.

If you make a mistake at first, then try again.

That one doesn't really work so I often think,

It would be really good if I didn't

have to do that one.

Don't grab it by hands but when it comes

here, then put it between your legs.

Stretch out your legs and hold it.

That's right.

See if you can do it.

Don't worry about mistakes.

Try it.

Try to copy her.

Well done.

Well done, you're good at this.

Would Jong Shim come out and sing?

Applause!

Hurray! Goody good!

Let's hold hands all together

and sing a song.

Leading shining North Korea to victory...

...brightening the future of communism...

...the beloved comrade Kim Jong II.

Glory, glory, Kim Jong II our

excellent Leader.

Glory, glory, Kim Jong II our

excellent Leader.

Much of April is spent preparing to

celebrate Kim II Sung's birthday.

The 2 day holiday

will begin on the 15th.

The years following Kim II Sung's death

coincided with a great degree of hardship

in North Korea

a period that has become known

as the arduous march.

When we talk of time of hardship...

...the first thing we think of is

the Arduous March.

No one will ever know the true number

of deaths from starvation during this time

and even in Pyongyang there was no

escape from the misery.

Most analysts predicted an implosion

of the country and the system.

In the West, the continued food crisis is

blamed on the State's isolation policy

and its out dated agricultural system.

In North Korea, it is seen as a period of

struggle but one the people have to accept

in order to continue the State's policy

of self-reliance and independence.
