The Soaring Aspiration of the Korean Youth for Volunteers

 2025.8.21.

Unlike the capitalist countries, there is a growing social trend in the DPRK where a vigorous struggle for the comprehensive development of socialism is being waged.

The number of young people volunteering to work in major fronts of socialist construction is increasing day by day and such enthusiasm is mounting on a steady increase.

According to the report, more than 6 000 young people volunteered to serve in major sites for socialist construction in one month, January this year.

The youth are apt to move to cities in pursuit of cupidity and pleasure, but in the DPRK, they give up living in Pyongyang, the capital, and volunteer to take jobs in coal mines, farms, construction sites and faraway islands. What a big difference!

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"After the Eighth Congress of the Party, the enthusiasm for volunteering of our young people, who respond to the call of the times and their motherland with practice, not with mere words, has remarkably increased, and the number of these young people who have volunteered to work at the difficult and challenging sectors markedly grown. This fact proves how wonderful the ideological and spiritual world of our young people today is."

In general, decisions and actions depend on the faith and attitude towards life.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un set forth new policies such as "regional development 20×10 policy" at recent major conferences and plenary meetings of the Party Central Committee.

His policies are scientific and practical programmes for ensuring well-being of the people and building a prosperous power in which the bright future of the youth is thoroughly guaranteed.

The Korean youth are firmly convinced that the only way of achieving the prosperity of the state and keeping their happiness is to be true to the idea of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, and they find genuine worth of life in realizing his plan by devoting their all to it.

So the number of young people who volunteer to work in major sites of the socialist construction in hearty response to the policy keeps increasing whenever the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un puts forward a new bold plan and launches daring operations.
