Product Description
The national anthem of North Korea is called the Aegukka (), which translates to "Patriotic Song." It was composed by Kim Won-kyun in 1947, with lyrics written by Pak Seyong. The anthem expresses themes of patriotism, loyalty to the country, and the glorification of the nation's leadership.
The lyrics celebrate the beauty of the country's mountains, rivers, and people, while also praising the leadership of Kim Il-sung, the country's founding leader. The song's music and lyrics convey a sense of national unity and pride, with a strong emphasis on the strength and resilience of the North Korean state.
The Aegukka is often performed during national ceremonies, state events, and military parades. It is played at the beginning of public events and serves to reinforce the country's ideology and sense of identity. Its style is solemn and grand, often accompanied by images of the country's leaders or historical events that support the state's narrative.
