Does anyone know if there is a special meaning to 총폭탄?

Let’s become ?bombs? that guard the Great Leader Kim Jung-Il with a do-or-die spirit!

Next we’re looking at more Juche and Seon-gun posters.

  1. “Recently, the April issue of N. Korean photo magazine ‘Chosun’ reported that a boy triplet were named ‘chong, pok, tan’(translator’s note: chong-pok-tan means ‘gun-and-bomb’, chong means a gun, pok-tan means a bomb. As a separate syllable, pok means explosion, and tan means a shell) It was featured as an example of a loyalty oath to Kim Jong-il, in the spirit of ‘defending the General(Kim Jong-il) to death.’ ‘Chong-pok-tan’ is a typical slogan for promoting Kim Jong-il worship. The slogan implies the readiness to sacrifice oneself for Kim Jong-il as his ‘gun-and-bomb’(chong-pok-tan.)” This is what I found on “총폭탄”. Great blog! Thanks :smile:
