As early as midnight on the morning of Day of the Sun,[1][23] people lay commemorative wreaths and floral baskets at thousands of statues of Kim Il-sung around the country.[3][4] The demand for flowers is huge. The market — mostly operating informally – is estimated to be worth 600,000–1,200,000 dollars just for the Day of the Sun. [citation needed] Artificial flowers are favored for their low cost.[24] In the evening, youth dress in hanbok to participate in folk dances.[18][23]
