This is an epic poem about armed conflicts against Japan that took place on Mt. Baekdu in the 1930s, particularly Kim Il-sung’s Battle of Pochonbo.

Descriptions(Languages 2)

It is noteworthy as one of the works that can confirm the homogeneity of the two Koreas, and at the same time, it was praised as a shining example of epic literature in the new era with the style of modern epic poetry.

분단시대 초기, 남북한의 동질성을 확인할 수 있는 작품의 하나로 주목할 만 하며, 동시에 현대 서사시의 풍격을 갖춘 새 시대 서사시 문학의 빛나는 모범이라는 고평을 받기도 했다.
