"The Glorious Motherland" (Korean: 빛나는 조국) is a song of North Korea.

The other one, apparently which is known today as "The Glorious Motherland," was also decided to be opened to the public with its title changed from Aegukka, as the melody was excellent.

The song is broadcast at the sign-off of Korean Central Television with the image of fluttering national flag.
