Kim Jong Il, Peerlessly Great Man (17)
Pyongyang, December 28 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il in his lifetime had wisely led the Korean People's Army to take the lead in creating the culture as befitting the Songun (military-first) era.

He made efforts to generalize the culture created by the KPA throughout the society.

He visited all the military academies, taking measures to develop the education at the academies in conformity with the Songun era.

After organizing the State Merited Chorus in the army, he led it to stand in the van of the drive to inspire the local people in upholding the Party's Songun politics.

He made a history of contest of art groups of servicepersons' families, turning it into a model of mass-based art activities.

His guidance led the sportspersons in the army to take a lion's share in proving successful at international tournaments.
