Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- The State Merited Chorus gave a performance "Long Live Great Songun Commander" celebrating the 53rd Day of Songun at the People's Theatre on Monday.

Paektu. It ended with male choruses "Footsteps Resound through Mt. Osong" and "We Will Defend General Kim Jong Un at the Cost of Our Lives".
