There are many monumental edifices in Korea, shining with the name of the "people" such as the Grand People's Study House, the People's Palace of Culture and Rungna People's Recreation Ground.

As seen above, a great number of monumental edifices shining with the name of "people" reflect the noble love of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il for the people who put the interests of the people above all else and devoted all their lives to them.

In his early years, the President Kim Il Sung opened up a far-reaching plan to turn Rungna Islet into a pleasure ground for the people

On April 4, Juche 54 (1965), he personally planted trees on Rungna Islet and gave precious instructions on launching a massed-based tree-planting campaign, thus making the whole country covered with green foliage and increasing the wealth of the country. He also suggested that Rungna Islet should be turned into a pleasure ground for the people.

That was the moment when the new history of Rungna Islet began.

In order to realize the far-reaching plan of the President, Chairman Kim Jong Il gave priority to solving all the problems arising in the construction of the pleasure ground and wisely led the construction of a modern stadium with a capacity of 150,000 and Rungna Bridge.

Although he was busy with his revolutionary leadership, he gave precious instructions on building a fun fair on Rungna Islet on several occasions in order to contribute to the cultural and emotional life of the people. He proposed the construction of a dolphinarium and gave instructions to supply seawater.

He sent a unit of the Korean People's Army with a lot of experience in construction to ensure the rapid progress of the project and earnestly requested good quality of the construction of the Rungna People's Recreation Ground even in the last moments of his great life.

True to the instructions of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made painstaking efforts to turn Rungna Islet into a good base for cultural and emotional life for the people.

One day in April Juche 101(2012), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited Rungna People's Recreation Ground under construction, regardless of the dust that was blowing up all the construction sites due to the strong wind.

He went round various places of the construction site for a long time, regardless of the fact that the whole construction site was being dusted due to the strong wind, and took meticulous care of the people so that they could spend a good time without any inconvenience.

That day he said that Rungna Islet area should be renamed comprehensively, but the word "people" should never be excluded from the name of the pleasure park, adding that it was best to call it Rungna People's Recreation Ground, in view of the noble intention of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who made painstaking efforts for the people all their lives.

He said to the officials that it would be a good idea to call Rungna Islet area "Rungna People's Recreation Ground". He added that it would be best to call it Rungna People's Recreation Ground, in view of the noble intention of the President and the Chairman who devoted all their efforts to the people's wellbeing throughout their lives. He continued to say that Rungna People's Recreation Ground was a pleasure ground for the people and its development was the work for realizing the desire of the Chairman who devoted all his life to providing the people with all the happiness.

Thanks to his warm care, the name of the Rungna People's Recreation Ground come into being.
