Kim Jong Un rode a new model subway car on the Pyongyang Metro

Kim Jong Un (Kim Cho’ng-u’n) rode a new model subway car on the Pyongyang Metro on Thursday (November 19) night.  Also in attendance were Pak Pong Ju (DPRK Premier), Kim Yang Gon (Workers’ Party of Korea [WPK] Secretary and Director of the United Front), O Su Yong (WPK Secretary for Light Industry), Jo Yong Won (deputy director of the WPK finance and accounting department) and Han Kwang Sang (immediate past director of the WPK finance and accounting department).

Jong Un’s ride on the Pyongyang Metro began at Kaeso’n Station.  Touring the subway station he said that “he missed President Kim Il Sung (Kim Il-so’ng) and leader Kim Jong Il (Kim Cho’ng-il) that day more than ever before” and that the Metro “was a precious treasure of the nation and a grand monumental structure as it was associated with the loving care shown by them for the people all their lives to provide the people with conditions for a more bountiful and civilized life.”  Jong Un also noted “how happy” KIS and KJI “would have been to see the subway train made by our workers, scientists and technicians run.”
