The name Kyongru-dong, a familiar name of the residential quarters blending well with natural landscape, is associated with the warm love of the peerlessly great man for the people.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the construction site of the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District on August 20, Juche 110 (2021).

Looking round the construction site where the framework construction was finished, he asked officials which district was there.

Hearing an official's answer, Kim Jong Un said that if the residential quarters were located between Somun-dong in Central District and Puksae-dong in Moranbong District, it would be necessary to administratively set up a new dong. He added that the name - the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District Street - was too long to pronounce.

He visited the construction site several times and made painstaking efforts to provide ordinary working people with a luxurious residential district, the name of which is easy to call and meaningful.

He stressed the need to make the name meaningfully so that it symbolizes the most beautiful terraced residential district in Pyongyang. Then, he proposed naming the riverside terraced residential district Kyongru-dong.

He explained that the words "Kyongru" mean the "palace" made of gem.

So Kyongru-dong has been kept in the minds of the people as a name of the happy riverside terraced district.
