In this regard, Vice-Minister of Culture Ri Sun Chol told KCNA:

The Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance "The Glorious Country" comes to be the talk of the country since its start on September 9.

It is sparking off another round of stormy enthusiasm in the wake of the Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance "Arirang", a winner of the Kim Il Sung Prize and a world-known masterpiece which was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Therefore, its performing period was extended.

As of the middle of October, 1.53 millions of people enjoyed the performance. Among them are tens of thousands of foreigners.
