The chŏllima (lit. thousand-ri horse; often mistranslated as "unicorn" by Western media) is a legendary flying horse in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese mythology. It is able to run 1,000 ri (500 km) in a single day. In the DPRK, it is used as a symbol of the heroic stamina of the working class.[1]
Mallima
In 2016, Kim Jong-un announced that the DPRK has begun the mallima age. Mallima means "ten-thousand ri horse" and is ten times as fast as a chollima.[2]
