DESCRIPTION:
A couple of old songs and flags from North Korea before it became known as the DPRK in late 1948. More information below.

The first song is a recording of the first national anthem of North Korea, Aegukga, to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. It was used from the formation of the Provisional Government to the founding of the DPRK. The first flag is the one used for two months preceding the founding of the DPRK. Similarly, the emblem of the country, bearing a blast furnace rather than a hydroelectric plant, was also replaced.

The second song is the Song of General Kim Il-Sung, which glorifies the first leader of North Korea. It is still widely popular today and is in some cases more important than the national anthem itself. The second flag is the flag of the Workers' Party of North Korea, which governed North Korea until it merged with the Workers' Party of South Korea to form the united Workers' Party of Korea in 1949.
