Mangyongdae
Mangyongdae is a neighborhood in Mangyongdae-guyok, Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korean propaganda claims that Mangyongdae is the birthplace of North Korean leader Kim [Il Sung], although in his memoirs he wrote that he had been born in the nearby neighborhood of Chilgol. Mangyongdae is where his father Kim Hyong-jik was from, and where Kim Il Sung spent his childhood.
Mangyongdae has been designated as a historic site since 1947, and is listed as a Revolutionary Site. Original structures at the site have been replaced with replicas.
Mangyongdae has since been incorporated to the city of Pyongyang. The Football at the [Mangyongdae Prize Sports Games] and Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon are both named after the area.
