North Korea’s gymnastics has been used as a means to consolidate its education on political ideology of the socialist system. North Korea`s art performances which are in the form of large-scale gymnastic or mass games involving youth, students, and workers have been carried out for its internal governance and charm offensive. The author underlines that North Korea`s mass gymnastics will continually propagate the Party`s line and legitimacy both domestically and internationally and strengthen the people`s collectivist spirit. The author also adds his hope at the end of this article that a new turning point in inter-Korean relations will be created by organizing a joint Korean team for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
