You can see the letters “Yongung Chongnyon” (hero youth) displayed on the front of the dam of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station No. 1 in the DPRK.

This power station was built by the youths under the badly unfavorable climate conditions. They successfully carried out the huge construction work, equivalent to the work load done in the past ten years, in a little more than 120 days to complete the dam on August 28, 2015, ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

When visiting the power station in September 2015, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un praised the feats of the youths and put forward all of them as hero. And he stressed that the letters “Yongung Chongnyon” should be embossed on the front of the dam.
