The dancing spectacles are often rare and spontaneous, typically take place in front of important political monuments, and are unfortunately, staged. The “Military First” holiday celebrates the anniversary of the Songun policy introduced by Kim Jong-Un’s father, Kim Jong-il, in 1960, providing primary power to the North Korean army in state politics and funding, JK Daily reported.
