The performers represented the sky-high spirit of all service personnel and people dynamically pushing forward the building of a thriving nation at the "speed of Masik Pass," true to the leadership of Kim Jong Un, with beautiful rhythms, artistic rendition and dynamic gymnastics.

The performance fully reflected the unshakable will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to eternally glorify the great history of the victory in the war by protecting the dignity of the great Paektusan nation and meeting the challenges of the enemies through a merciless retaliatory sacred war.

The audience was deeply impressed by the chapter of friendship Arirang as it dealt with the exploits the great Generalissimos performed by recording shining pages in the history of DPRK-China and DPRK-Russia friendship and the will of the Korean people to boost solidarity with the world progressive people, guided by the idea of independence, peace and friendship.
