The houses, each consisting of 3~5 living rooms, are furnished with 10-odd pieces of quality furniture and with daily necessities.

Kim Jong Un suggested building the street for scientists making big contributions to beefing up the nation's defence capabilities and building a strong economy.

Associate Professor Jo Jong Hye, whose husband is a winner of the title of People's Scientist and the February 16 Science and Technology Prize, told KCNA:

"This is five-room house we are to live in.

My daughter and son-in-law are scientists, too. They are also honored to receive a new house in this street.

Whenever new houses were built for scientists, we have always been the first mover to them.

I am most grateful to Marshal Kim Jong Un for his loving care."

A woman scientist, Yang Sun Ok who moved to a new house which Kim Jong Un visited, said:

"My new house is as gorgeous as palace.

I was so blissful that I sat up all night, talking with my family members about the loving care of Kim Jong Un and about the will to repay it."
