Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un visited Rungna Dolphinarium one day in June 2012. Looking in detail round the interior of the dolphinarium, the Supreme Leader pointed to a part of the ceiling and said… It is good to install truss on the ceiling so that it can be seen. But the stage looks as if it were uncompleted as truss is on the aluminum plate above the stage panorama which depicted a seascape.
Officials and designers looked up at the ceiling. Truss appeared to be a scratch in a mirror.
The Supreme Leader promptly gave them an ideal plan to revise it by saying that the truss could be covered with curtains in an arch style.
His plan was so wonderful that the designers exclaimed in admiration in spite of themselves.
The officials were fascinated also by others that day.
After a while the Supreme Leader looked at the wall of the stage which depicted surging sea waves. Waves seemed as if they had surged into rocks and surfs appeared to flow down through the floor of the stage. The more they saw it, the more realistic the seascape was.
Keeping his eyes on the stage panorama, the Supreme Leader said… The rocks for ornament are in harmony with a background painting as if one saw the real sea. Then he asked an official in the designing sector if the stage was fully conformed to the international standard.
The official didn’t grasp intention of the Supreme Leader and answered that it was conformed to the international standards.
However, the Supreme Leader disagreed with him.
The Supreme Leader said… Now the stage floor has been painted blue like in other countries. But it will be in better harmony if you paint it the same colour as the sand surged by sea waves because the background depicts seashore. Stage in dolphinarium is painted blue on an international scale, but we must not follow it. You have painted it blue in accordance with the international standards. But it is important for us to do everything in our own way in keeping with our aesthetic sentiments. It is just our standard to satisfy our people’s aesthetic sentiments.
However good it may be, it is of no value unless it satisfies the people’s desire and demand. It is none other than our standard if the people like it and it is convenient to them. This is the intention of the Supreme Leader.
