The purpose of this study is to examine the background of the emergence of the “Five Major Ideological Education” presented after there was a change in ideological education, and Kim Jong-un seized power in North Korea and to analyze its significance. Ideological education is an education of teaching worldview or morality, which is provided in a form closely combined with practical activities. Since North Korea has traditionally attached more importance to the intellectuals’ thinking than to professionalism, it has considered ideological education one of the important educational activities. In Kim Jong-un s regime, the importance of this ideological education is still emphasized. The difference from the previous period is that the emphasis has been changed, as it designated the “Five Major Ideological Education” including Greatness Education, Kim Jong Il Patriotism Education, Belief Cultivation, Anti-imperialist Class Education, and Moral Education. It is hard to see the “Five Major Ideological Education” as just the designation of core ideological education. The characteristics of the Kim Jong-un regime’s “Five Major Ideological Education” are that it gradually carries out the ideological educational activities related to real life, emphasizing everydayness, reality, and practicality. This change in the ideological education reflects the changes of the leader and younger generations of North Korea, but the foundation of its ideological education is its authorities’ realistic prescription for maintaining the regime.
