Jo Hyon Sok, a delegate from the Hasinhung Secondary School in Songchongang District, Hamhung City, told KCNA:

"It is the first time for me to visit the palace. I had often seen it on TV but I did not expect it to be such big and nice. When I come back to the school, I will tell my impression on the visit."

Kim Un Hyang, a delegate from the Mandok Secondary School in Hochon County, said:

"It was very impressive to see the accordion concert. I felt an impulse to play the accordion. The county where I live has a schoolchildren's hall of culture.
