In January Juche 104 (2015) the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Kumkhop General Foodstuff Factory for Sportspeople. While looking round several production lines, he dropped in at a workshop, where an official of the factory accompanying him pointed to a foodstuff and said that it is favoured by the people.
Kim Jong Un said: As people like it, I am happy, too. Nothing is better than what the people like. Their assessment is the criterion for evaluating everything. The longer I see the foodstuffs piled up here, the more pleasant I feel and the more proud they look. I am very pleased to see such a spectacular scene.
In October 2015 when he inspected the then Paekhak-dong in the Sonbong area in the city of Rason, a beautiful socialist village newly built on the flood-hit area, he stressed to the accompanying officials: The interior of the houses should be finished in a qualitative way. We can say that the housing construction has been completed well only when the people who would live in the newly-built houses are pleased with them. We should lend our ears to the people’s voices wherever and whatever we do and regard it as a criterion for our work.
