A national flag hoisting ceremony was held at Kim Il Sung Square in the capital city of Pyongyang on January 1, 2026.

At zero hour sharp, the watch-night bell tolled the start of the New Year and the solemn melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong Il" reverberated in the sky of the capital city.

Amid the solemn playing of the national anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a worker, a farmer, an intellectual and a student courteously hoisted the national flag.

The masses of people paid noble respects to the sacred national flag.

Fireworks were set off in the night sky of the capital city, adding joy to the people in the New Year 2026.
