Kim Il Sung Revered as Sun
Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- Reverence for President Kim Il Sung is growing stronger in Korea with the approach of his birth anniversary (April 15), known as the Day of the Sun.

At the end of the 1920s, young revolutionaries decided to call him Hanbyol meaning a star, in conformity with the desire of the Korean people.

In autumn of 1930, they changed his name again as Kim Il Sung meaning the sun.

Kim Il Sung founded the great Juche idea and applied it to the revolution and construction, bringing about an epoch-making change in hewing out the destiny of the Korean people.

He pursued benevolent politics based on love and trust to provide genuine freedom and happy life to the people.

He established a socialist system where the people are the masters of the society and everything serves them. He also achieved close unity of the leader, the party and the masses.

Indeed, President Kim Il Sung was a great man who devoted his all to the country and the people.
