One day in October 2018 Supreme Leader Kim Jog Un visited the Yangdok Hot-spring Resort under construction.

He studied a general blueprint for the construction of the resort and got firsthand knowledge of in what numerous ways buildings were to be arranged there. He stressed that all the best things of the world must be consulted to ensure the highest level of their aesthetics and convenience. He then proceeded to make for a hot spring.

For a while he saw water gushing from a hole in the spring. He said that it was to be drunk by the people and suggested to the officials that they taste it before anybody else. He was the first to be served with a cup of hot spring water and taste it. Soon afterwards he dipped his hand in the spring water although it was more than 80℃. He said with a broad smile that it was hot enough to be able to boil eggs.

This played upon the heartstrings of the officials.

When he visited the resort for the first time two months ago he inquired about the output of its hot springs and the temperature of their water. He abruptly asked if eggs could be boiled in the water because it was 80℃. When he came to a hole in a hot spring he said that he learned that eggs could be half done in the hole by its water in about half an hour and added with great satisfaction that hot springs of this sort were really worthy of their name.

Today he guessed the temperature of the spring water by hand and was delighted again to say that eggs could be boiled in it.

But the officials had so far failed to understand why Kim Jong Un mentioned eggs time and again.

Looking round the construction site of the resort he gave precious instructions as to its building for a long time. He suddenly proposed going to a hole in a hot spring and boiling eggs in its water.

He said that he felt really all right today and was truly pleased to think that the people could be presented with a good hot-spring resort. He again approached the hole.

He closely watched an accompanying official putting eggs in its hot spring water with care. He asked an officer of the Korean People’s Army in what minutes they could be done.

He replied that 17 minutes did on trial.

Kim Jong Un proposed to boil eggs in spring water for 20 minutes, referring to his wrist watch.

He sat on a plain chair near the hole in the spring and waited for eggs to be boiled. He apparently regarded it as most valuable to dedicate his time to the happiness of the people.

The officials were infinitely touched to the heart. Kim Jong Un said warmly:

“This hole should apparently be designated as a place for boiling eggs. The people will be delighted with it.”

A year passed from then on. When the construction of the resort was near completion Kim Jong Un visited it. Unlike everyone else, he thought of choosing a place for boiling eggs and even arranged for the hole in the hot spring to be fitted up with a closet for flavorings for boiled eggs close-by.

Consequently, the place was brought into being anew in the resort.
