Hwang Jin Yong grew up to be a gifted composer and musical talent loved by the people under the special care of the peerlessly great men. He had created hundreds of songs praising the great Workers' Party of Korea, the most advantageous socialist system of the DPRK and the spirit of the times vibrant with the creation of a new life as national famous songs for nearly 40 years, thus greatly contributing to the development of the Juche-oriented musical art.

Every song, composed by Hwang, has been played at construction sites, factories, farms and fishing villages across the country and become a companion of life favored by everyone as they are famous songs giving deep impression to the people, the speaker noted, adding that the staunch image of the composer, who had devoted his burning zeal and thought to the musical creation, will remain as a model revolutionary artiste in the memory of the people and rising generations.
A ceremony of burying the remains of the late Hwang Jin Yong took place.
A wreath from the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was laid at the grave.
The participants paid silent tribute to the memory of the late Hwang who had enjoyed the life of an enthusiastic and talented musician, remaining faithful to the Party his whole life.
The traces of his worthwhile and beautiful life and echoes of his heart will be everlasting, along with the ceaseless development of the Juche-oriented music which encourages the dynamic advance of the socialist country ushering in a heyday of fresh cultural efflorescence under the leadership of the great WPK and gives enthusiasm for the revolution, optimism and pride and joy of struggle to the people. -0-
