Chilgol

[1][2] Chilgol is known as the place where Kang Pan Sok, the mother of Kim Il Sung, North Korea's first leader,[3] was born in 1892 and spent her childhood.

[3][4] The area features many buildings and fixtures related to Kim Il Sung's life.

Kim Il Sung's desk, in the front of the classroom and left of the teacher, remains preserved there.

[3] The museum houses Kang Pan Sok's possessions including kitchen utensils.

[6] Although Mangyongdae, also in Pyongyang, is traditionally considered the birthplace of Kim Il Sung, he wrote in his memoirs that he was in fact born in Chilgol where Kang Pan Sok had gone to give birth.
