The position and role of our young people have increased exceptionally and their ideological and spiritual qualities have been displayed on the highest ground in the new era of the Juche revolution thanks to the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who carries forward the noble intention of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il of attaching importance to the youth and loving the youth.

Our young people fully displayed to the world the spirit of a youth power at the construction of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station.

Keeping in mind the trust of the Chairman who entrusted to the youth league the task of building a large-scale hydro-power station in the area of Mt Paektu, the young people turned out in the construction of the power station.

Kim Jong Un inspected the construction site of the power station several times and highly appreciated the young people who created world-startling legendary tales about heroic youth by using the phrase "youth power", the new terms symbolic of the era, and named the power station "Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station".

Members of the youth shock brigade worked hard out of loyalty and patriotism to build the power station as the grand monument in deep and rugged mountain valleys and many members of the brigade became heroes.

The youth heroes include the sports persons who flew the flags of the Republic in the sky of the world by winning international matches and scientists who made big contribution to the demonstration of the national power.

It is the greatest pride and honor of our country to have a large contingent of the reliable youth heroes and patriotic youth who make each moment of their lives worthwhile.
