The history of building the Korean People’s Army records a story about “tigers” of Mt Osok.

The following year after the liberation of Korea, President Kim Il Sung saw that the Central Security Officers School was built at the foot of Mt Osok and it trained commanding officers of the KPA to be founded in the future. Participants in the 1st graduation ceremony of the school held on October 26, 1947 were glad to see the graduates wearing new military uniforms and standing in row on the playground. It was because the workers’ and farmers’ sons and daughters grew up to be dignified commanding officers in a short period of one year.

That day when he visited the school, Kim Il Sung said that the Japs had been afraid of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army and called its members tigers during the days of the guerrilla warfare and the “tigers” had many cubs in the liberated country, adding that it is necessary to train a large number of cadres for the revolutionary army like the tigers.
