North Korea's Kim Jong Un Marks Father's Birthday at Family Mausoleum A Step Towards Strengthening His Grip on Power

In his quest to solidify his grip on power and build his own legacy, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been gradually distancing himself from his predecessors. Recently, he paid homage to his father, former leader Kim Jong Il, at the Kumsusan Palace of Sun in Pyongyang, marking the birthday of his late father.

Honoring His Father's Legacy

Kim Jong Il's birthday, celebrated as the Day of the Shining Star, is a major holiday in North Korea. This marked the first time in four years that Kim Jong Un visited the mausoleum where the embalmed bodies of his father and grandfather are housed.

A Message of Commitment

Accompanied by his sister and senior ruling Workers' Party official Kim Yo Jong, as well as other aides, Kim Jong Un paid homage to his father with humble reverence. He expressed his solemn commitment to devote himself to the sacred struggle for the eternal prosperity of the country, the security of its people, and the promotion of their well-being.

A New Era of Prosperity in Pyongyang

Beyond nostalgia, Kim Jong Un's visit was also notable for his attendance at a groundbreaking ceremony for the final phase of his pet project to build 50,000 new homes in Pyongyang. This ambitious initiative, launched in 2021 as part of Kim's five-year plan to boost the economy, aims to distribute at least 10,000 new apartments in Pyongyang each year.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

While some analysts have questioned the feasibility of this project amidst international sanctions and economic challenges, Kim Jong Un remains undeterred. During the ceremony, he praised construction workers and officials for achieving nearly 400 percent progress last year compared to 2020, and pledged another plan to continue expanding the city.

The Future of Pyongyang

As Kim Jong Un looks to solidify his grip on power and build his own legacy, this ambitious initiative is just one part of his plan for the future. With North Korea set to mark a new era of prosperity under his leadership in 2025, he is poised to make significant strides forward.

Conclusion

As professionals in the field, we are intrigued by Kim Jong Un's bold move and its implications for the future of North Korea. As he continues to shape the country's economy and infrastructure development, it will be interesting to see how his vision unfolds.
