Day of the Shining Star 2021
 |
Along with the Day of the Sun, the birthday of his predecessor father Kim Il-sung, it is the most important public holiday in the country. What a ridiculous cult of stupid personality.
Kim Jong-il was born in 1941 in the Soviet Union ... naturally.
North Korean propaganda set the date of his birth at February 16, 1942. This places the birth at the Mount Paektu area in Korea. His birthday became an official holiday in 1982 when he began his work in the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea. He celebrated his birthdays privately.
In 2012, the year following his death and the advent of his even more evil, more thuggish, worse murderer son, Kim Jong-Un the holiday was renamed the Day of the Shining Star.
This waste of a poor country's resources holds the most lavish observances in the capital Pyongyang and include mass gymnastics, music performances, fireworks displays, military demonstrations, and mass dancing parties.
The North Korean people receive more food rations and electricity than usual on the Day of the Shining Star.
