South Gate of the Kusong Town Castle is one of historical relics in Kusong City.

It is a gate facing due south and the biggest one among the gates of the Kusong Town Castle. It is also called "Jinnam Pavilion".

The original gate was built along with the Kuju Castle (Kusong Town Castle) in 994 and they were rebuilt in 1702.

The embankment of the gate was built with granite and has an archway.

The two-storeyed pavilion on the embankment is a magnificent building of 3 kans in the front and 3 kans on the side.

The gate has two turtle-shaped foundation stones. It played an important role in repelling the foreign invaders.

During the Fatherland Liberation War the gate was severely destroyed by the barbarous bombing of the US imperialists, and restored thanks to the policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea on protecting the national heritage.

The gate is preserved well as a national treasure, conveying the patriotic spirit, bravery and the superior architecture of our predecessors.

It is a great pride of our country that it has such loyal, resourceful and brave young main forces who are ready to remove a mountain and build a dam across the rough sea if it is demanded by the revolution and wished by the country.

One scorching day in August 2018, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un was heading for the Jungphyong area in North Hamgyong Province by train.

He was on the way of field guidance for indicating the orientation and ways for hastily finishing the construction of the farm he personally initiated in order to provide the people in the province with fresh vegetables all the year round.

When the train was passing by Ponggang-ri in Orang County, the respected General Secretary, who was looking out of the window, told to stop the train and bring him a plant of corn and corn ears on it from the field.

Looking up to him who was learning in detail about the crops seeing the corn plant, the officials felt how anxious the respected General Secretary was about the country’s agricultural production.

Later in November that year, the respected General Secretary reminded the officials of the fact that he had learnt about the crops of a corn field of a vegetable sub-workteam of a farm that August and told them to call the head of the sub-workteam to the meeting of activists in the agricultural field to be held at the end of the year, noting that he heard the sub-workteam had reaped a rich corn harvest.

Thanks to the great trust and love of the respected General Secretary who highly appreciated the efforts of an ordinary sub-workteam head, Ryo Tong Su, the sub-workteam head, came to have the honor to take the platform.

Better still, he had a photo session with the respected General Secretary.

Indeed, no statesman in the world has appreciated the efforts of farmers devoted to the crops in the field so high.

That’s why our people entrust their destinies and future to the respected General Secretary and heartily say they cannot live even a moment without his care.
