The ''chollima'' is an important symbol in [[North Korea]]. It is used as the nickname of [[North Korea national football team|its national association football team]]. The state also gave the name to the [[Chollima Movement]], which promoted fast economic development, similar to that of the Chinese [[Great Leap Forward]] and the Soviet [[Stakhanovite movement]]. After the [[Korean War]], the country required rebuilding to function again. In order to expedite the construction, President [[Kim Il Sung]] devised the slogan "rush at the speed of ''chollima''".

Several statues are found of this creature in [[Pyongyang]], the capital of North Korea. The [[Chollima Statue]] symbolizes "heroism, the constant, fighting spirit of the Korean people, and the innovations and advance so quickly, at the speed of the ''chollima''". A notable one can be found near {{ill|Mansu Hill|ko|만수대}}, which was finished on 15 April 1961. It stands roughly 46 meters high and 16 meters long, measured from the pavement to the top of the Red Letter of the [[Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea]] representing the working class.
