 Songs had played an important part in the cult of personality of Kim Jong-un, whose succession of Kim Jong-il was accompanied by the song "Footsteps".Likewise, the purge of Jang Sung-taek, a major political event in Kim Jong-un's early career, was accompanied by "We Will Follow You Only".The release of "We Will Go to Mount Paektu" in turn coincided with soon-to-be-purged Minister of People's Armed Forces Hyon Yong-chol's visit abroad in Moscow.
