North Korea releases new song celebrating 'friendly father' Kim Jong-un | SBS News

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been celebrated as the nation’s "friendly father" in a new song broadcast on state television this week.
The song was first performed live to celebrate the opening of a new 10,000-home development in Pyongyang on Tuesday, which Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said was finished "at the highest level" within a 14-month period.
The housing completion ceremony featured a large-scale concert with jet flyovers and a live performance by some of the nation’s top singers, who unveiled the new song in tribute to North Korea’s supreme leader.
Titled Friendly Father, the track praises Kim for delivering a "brighter future" for North Korea and declares that "the people believe and will follow united". An accompanying music video released on Wednesday shows workers, defence personnel and everyday citizens cheering, dancing and punching the air as they proclaim their love for Kim.
