The performance enjoys acclamation from local people.

It, given in the central sector of the front, encourages the people to devotedly defend the country.

An Yong Chol, a soldier of the Korean People's Army, told KCNA:

"The Moranbong Band performance left deep impressions upon me.

The band put on stage such colorful numbers as light music 'Look at Us', female solo and pangchang 'Song of Soldier' and light music 'The Country Will Always Remember'.

The song and musical pieces make me harden the determination to defend the homeland at the cost of my life."

Jang Nam Jin, a KPA officer, said:

"Seeing the performance on TV, I evinced my determination to dedicate myself to defending the country.

We will mete out a stern punishment to the enemies if they dare provoke us."

Ro Un Ha, an official of the Ministry of Light Industry, said:

"I watched with tears in my eyes pictures of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un among children, civilians, servicepersons and their families, projected on the screen to time with the singing of the song 'Ardent Wish'.

His ceaseless inspection tours of the military units are aimed to defend the security of the country and the happiness of the people.

I will remain faithful to his leadership in any circumstances."
