There is a student called "telescope girl".
She is Kim Yu Gyong, a second-year student of Changjon Junior Middle School in Central District, Pyongyang, who is also member of the calligraphy group at the Pyongyang Students and Children's Palace.
She showed her handwriting skill with a brush to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who attended the New Year celebration of schoolchildren this year.
"I had never imagined that my daughter would show her immature calligraphic skill to fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un she had been so eager to see even in her dreams," said Jo Sol Hyang, mother of Yu Gyong.
After seeing the talents of other students that day, the fatherly Marshal went up to Yu Gyong and affectionately asked her what she would write. Then Yu Gyong readily answered that she would write satellite "Malligyong-1 (Telescope-1)” with a brush.
"I thought of writing this word as I vividly recollected the beaming image of the fatherly Marshal who was so pleased with the space scientists and technicians in his arms whenever they successfully launched our Juche satellite," recalled Yu Gyong.
When Yu Gyong finished writing it, he praised her calligraphic skill and asked her hope, before wishing her a happy future.
He then had a photograph taken with schoolchildren of the palace including Yu Gyong.
After she was given his blessing that day, Yu Gyong had other names.
People affectionately call her Malligyong girl or Malligyong student.
“I was deep in thought as I was called thus. How can I be called Malligyong girl for the single reason that I wrote the word with a brush in the presence of our fatherly Marshal? So I decided to visit those who made the Malligyong satellite," said Yu Gyong.
On January 25 this year, she visited the space scientists and technicians with a letter reflecting her simple and honest intention to become a real Malligyong girl in the future, while visiting them frequently to get familiar with Malligyong, and ten pieces of hanging scrolls inscribed with the brush "Strongest country", "Legend of Korea" and the like.
Since then, Yu Gyong has continued to visit them together with her father, mother and grandfather in the hope that the space scientists will keep succeeding in their efforts to conquer outer space.
