The Korean Children's Union, a mass political organization of schoolchildren who are the future and hope of the DPRK and its people, is proudly marking its 80th founding anniversary in its history of glorious succession and growth.

For the past 80 years since it was founded as the Juche-oriented children's revolutionary organization when a new Korea was being built, the KCU has steadily developed into the ranks of young revolutionaries and patriots who firmly carry forward the baton of the revolution and the tradition of patriotism, adding lustre to the sacred history and traditions created in the battlefields of Mt Paektu.

All the people across the country are convinced of the bright future of their state and cause as they look at the bright and lively appearance of the rising generation who are growing up to be stalwart pillars of the DPRK in the future, bringing their hope and talents into full bloom in the embrace of the motherly Workers' Party of Korea and the benevolent socialist motherland. And they are extending warm congratulations to the KCU members across the country on the significant June holiday.
