Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a signed article:

The above-said spirit reflects strong self-respect that one's nation is not inferior to others and the advantages of the nation and the noble patriotic will to preserve and glorify everything national.

Only when all the compatriots fully display the Korean nation-first spirit, confident of the advantages of the nation, it is possible to terminate outside forces' domination and interference in south Korea and achieve national sovereignty nationwide.

The U.S., while paying lip-service to the "peaceful settlement" of the nuclear issue, is working hard to provoke a war of aggression against the DPRK through a preemptive nuclear attack behind the scene. These moves have reached their height. Its brigandish aim is to occupy the whole of Korea by force of arms and play with the destines of all the Koreans.

Meanwhile, the U.S. seeks to execute its policy of domination over south Korea and its hostile policy toward the DPRK with the help of the south Korean authorities while the clique of traitors is working hard to do harm to fellow countrymen and realize its ambition to achieve "unification under the liberal democratic system," backed by the U.S.

It is unbearable shame on the nation to allow outside forces to mercilessly violate its sovereignty as it values its dignity and honor as its life and soul.

The Korean nation-first spirit serves as a source of strength for the Koreans to defend peace and security of the country and preserve the destiny of the nation from the foreign aggression and interference.

Only when all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad advance under the uplifted banner of the said spirit, all aggressor forces and anti-reunification forces will prove impotent and the Korean nation will defend its sovereignty by its own efforts and proudly demonstrate its honor and dignity.
