Story about the Ryongaksan Soap Factory
  There is a factory producing soap popular among the Korean people at the foot of Mt. Ryongak which is called a scenic spot of Pyongyang.
  The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un selected the site for the soap factory in the picturesque place with clear water and fresh air, saying the surrounding environment should be clean in order to produce cosmetics of good quality.
  One day in June 2016, he visited the factory under construction and named it "Ryongaksan Soap Factory". And he called the factory the one badly needed for our people.
  In October that year, he called at the factory again and said with great satisfaction that another factory conducive to improving the people's living had been built.
  And he beamed all over his face, saying he was really pleased and relieved of pent-up fatigue to think of the people who would be happy with different kinds of liquid soap and detergent.





  Many years have passed since Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the factory.
  In those days, the factory succeeded in developing functional products by using extracts of insam, hemp and mint. And it keeps increasing the variety of products including those for cleaning various objects such as metal, tiles, glass and plastic membrane and different kinds of liquid soap and softener for clothes which have the effects of sterilization and decoloration prevention.
  At the time of its inauguration in 2016, the factory produced only 31 kinds of "Ryongaksan"-brand goods of 6 varieties. But now they have been increased to hundreds of kinds of tens of varieties.
  Different kinds of "Ryongaksan"-brand soap produced at the factory won best prizes at a number of exhibitions at home and were also highly estimated at an international goods and service exhibition held in a country.
  The products of the Ryongaksan Soap Factory are becoming more popular in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
