Mass Games for The Dear Leader
The 'Arirang' or 'mass games' are staged once a year to appease the Dear Leaders, who enjoy shows. 100,000 citizens perform beautifully in sync to various exhibitions. This event commenced in 1946. People train year round to share their amazing skills and dedicated training. The games are held at Pyongyang's May Day stadium. "The theme of the Mass Games is called "Arirang." This incredible show of 100,000 performers retells the tale of North Korea's history." ~ Korea Consult
