All members of the group keenly realized the beautiful reality of the homeland while passing through Rason, Chongjin, Hamhung and various other cities of the homeland by running nearly 1 500 kms from Mt. Paektu, the letter said.

It went on:

While visiting the Songdowon International Children's Camp, in particular, we experienced the deep concern and solicitude shown by the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government to the rising generation and the development of the nation's future and felt the national pride and self-respect, fascinated by the spectacular scenery of Mt. Kumgang, legacy of the nation.

We are full of the desire to achieve the reunification of the country and nation at an early date at this moment we cross the 38th parallel.

We wish Kim Jong Un good health and greater successes in his efforts to build a thriving nation.
