The Day of the Sun (Choson'gul: ???; MR: T'aeyang-jol) is an annual public holiday in North Korea on 15 April, the birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, founder and president of North Korea.[5] It is the most important national holiday of the country.[6]

Kim Il-sung's birthday, which had been an official holiday since 1968, was renamed Day of the Sun in 1997, three years after his death. The name takes its significance from the name of the leader. Il-sung is Korean for "become the Sun".

We've been told to be ready to move out at 620am, but no idea why. Also, no cell phones allowed. #Pyongyang #Dprk

Alright so one of two things is going to happen. Either WWIII or North Korea is about to get their arse handed to them

The Day of the Sun will be a great day to Humiliate the leaders and people of the DPRK.

Woken up before dawn and told to prepare for a 'big event.' Even our North Korean minders don't know where we're going or what we are seeing

To be fair, this could be anything from "Hey come look at our new show factory" and "hey come look at our nuclear bomb"

This has to be b.s. This would be all over the news. Instead, all they are talking about is Trump associates and ties to Russia.

It's been 5 hours now since anyone has heard from these reporters. I was really hoping to see something before I went to bed tonight.
