Youth gathered at the plazas of the Monument to Party Founding, the Arch of Triumph and other places of Pyongyang after hearing the news of the successful nuclear warhead explosive test.

Dancing parties began with the playing of the song "Joy of the People."

The participants turned the venues into the sea of dancers in boundless reverence for President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who built a socialist state demonstrating its might by dint of independence and Songun and laid an eternal foundation for the prosperity of the country.

The atmosphere of dancing parties reached the height when dynamic and light music such as "Girls Riding on Galloping Steeds" and "Ongheya" resounded throughout the venues.

Similar dancing parties took place in all provincial seats, cities and counties on the same day.
