(Taken by Lee Jun, Edited by Nam Jung-hak)<\/p>\n<p>Female students in 5th and 6th grade of middle school (16-17 years old) gather for parade drill at a square near the memorial building for 3 generation revolution in Pyongyang on August 2006. A number sheet is attached on the back of each student. Controller on a tower is pointing out movement of student by using that number. Checked students must join a group for additional practice.<\/p>\n<p>According to the reporter, the drill continues for 12 hours a day during one year for just one minute parade in Kim Il-sung plaza. They get the legs stiffened because the drill becomes so intensified during the last six months before the event. There is a saying \u201cthey have to poop while on standing\u201d because they can\u2019t sit on a toilet. Many attendees suffer from serious arthritic joint or digestive disorder after the parade.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nRelated article:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2014\/07\/military\/truth-military-parades\/\">The Truth Behind North Korea\u2019s Military Parades<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/books\/release\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2193 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rimjingang_banner001.gif\" alt=\"Rimjingang_banner001\" width=\"280\" height=\"120\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">*&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/news\/north-korean-reporters\/\">Editor\u2019s notes on North Korean reporters<\/a><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/archives\/0002\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/category\/pdf-archive\/\">ARCHIVE(pdf) &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/img\/map\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DPRK MAP &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25ceASIAPRESS rimjingang YOUTUBE playlist Reporter, Lee Jun of ASIAPRESS, recorded a video on female students who are on a \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[6,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.02.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
