Great Leader's greatness.

Where are the U.S. imperialist aggressors

attacking at the moment?

Iraq

Looking at the state of affairs in the

world at the moment...

...it's clear that the U.S. Imperialists...

...cannot rest even for a moment from

invading other countries.

Furthermore, our revolution

is progressing...

...in such difficult circumstances today.

With the intention of getting rid of

our Korean socialism...

...the only socialism left on this Earth...

...these Americans are

manoeuvring to isolate...

...squash and suffocate our country.

What do they want to do to

socialism in the end?

They want to totally demolish it.

When we receive the Great

Leader's leadership...

...we are destined to be eternally happy.

After a two hour lunch

break it's time for training.

My legs hurt.

The schedule is intensifying

If they are to make the final performance in

the presence of The General, the group must

reach the standard required.

Previous experience of Mass Games

is no guarantee of selection.

Granddad, I'm back.

By the time Hyon Sun arrives home from

training, it's seven in the evening

six hours after school has finished.

Grandma, I'm back.

Mum, I'm back.

Home, already?

Yes.

Whenever I go home my grandmother

tells me to do homework or study.

So when I come home from school...

...I stay out of grandmother's

sight and go out to play.

My grandmother is quite strict

about what I should do or not.

Because I can't get my own way

with her, I get upset.

Here.

Hey, you're making me feed you.

Of course, because she's my

Granddaughter she's quite cute...

...and I won't scold her or hit her

as I did to my own child.

But when it comes to cultivating

her group mentality...

...and strengthening her will, we are strict.

Put it on your knees.

How is a gymnast like her so weak?

I sometimes raise my voice to her...

...and I'm strict when she gets lazy.

You start dancing first and

I'll play accordingly.

My mother does everything I ask her.

She listens to everything I say.

She's closer and more affectionate

with me than with anyone else

She's like one of my classmates.

As a mother, I feel proud...

...of the way I have brought up my daughter.

Did you dance in that cardigan?

With her father, she finds

things a bit difficult.

So no matter how strictly her father...

...and her grandmother bring her up...

...as her mother I have maternal love...

...so I pamper her quite a lot.

Sometimes she lies to her father and

only tells me things in secret.

I sometimes hide things from her father...

...if I think she'll get in trouble for them.

Will you take out the soup

bowls for me?

Soup bowls?

Oh, why do we have this power cut?
