In this regard, KCNA met Kim Kum Ryong, chief director of the state preparatory committee for the performance.

Kim said:

Preparations for the "Arirang" performance are in full swing at the final stage.

The performance, given annually for ten odd years, is the greatest masterpiece ever in the world's history of art performances as it involves Korea's famous songs, folk dances, rhythmic gymnastics and acrobatics, supported by amazing background stand, large stage settings and illuminators.

The upcoming performance will focus on the undying feats President Kim Il Sung performed in winning the Fatherland Liberation War against the U.S. imperialist aggressors who boasted of being "the strongest" in the world.

It will also feature the feats performed by leader Kim Jong Il to turn the DPRK into a satellite manufacturing and launching state and a nuclear state as well as the achievements scored in the country under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.

Many parts of the performance have been amended in content and style.

All creators and performers are now working hard to make a great hit.

The performance will begin at May Day Stadium on July 22.
