West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

One day in February 2017, the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the Pyongyang Primary School for Orphans.

With a bright smile on his face, he looked round different places of the school building whose spaces had been built into halls of knowledge and common sense and which had been put on a multifunctional and IT basis.

That day, orphans were so pleased that they ran toward him, calling him father. They were those whom Marshal Kim Jong Un had wished to enjoy a good luck and grow up stoutly in good health at the Pyongyang Orphanage on the morning of the New Year's Day two years before.

Going round the bedrooms, dining room, clinic and food storehouse, he learned in detail whether they had any inconvenience in their life.

Then he dropped in at the classroom of class 2A in mother tongue lesson.

The orphans loudly answered the teacher's questions in unison.

Marshal Kim Jong Un checked the quality of their textbooks and notebooks and kindly asked them what they liked best.

Seeing the orphans answer in a sonorous voice, he said they were smart. Leafing through their mother tongue notebooks, he praised them for their good handwriting and patted them on the head.

He recognized an orphan who had presented him with a bouquet and sung a song for him during his days at the Pyongyang Orphanage and said with great pleasure that he had grown taller beyond recognition.

Before leaving the school that day, he requested its officials and teaching staff to take good care of the orphans representing his mind so that they could grow up uprightly, vivaciously, brightly and cheerfully without any sorrow and gloom.

He was really like the father of the orphans.

As said above, Marshal Kim Jong Un always keeps the orphans deep in his heart.
