Kim Jong Un and Daughter Tour North Korea's Air Force Command

North Korea's state media on Friday released photos showing their country's leader Kim Jong Un and his daughter wrapped in leather coats and wearing dark glasses visiting North Korean's Air Force Command. The event took place Thursday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said. North Korean state media often report news the day after it happens.

Kim's visit marked The Day of Airmen, according to the KCNA report. It came just a week after North Korea said it launched a spy satellite. North Korean state media have been full of reports about the images produced by the satellite, of military assets and strategic locations around the world but has not published any examples of these images.

Friday's report also included photos of Kim Jong Un in a room with large screens on the walls and the floors, together with air force officers. Large parts of the images are blurred in the KCNA photos. In recent years, North Korean state media have increasingly used blurring to obscure parts of images, both of people's faces, as well as background details.

Did him & his daughter eat all the citizens not pictured smh

[SuperPeleke]

The disparity between his citizens not having food, electricty and the elites having jets and missiles is so jarring. The worse human crisis in modern times.

Getting chubbier, as citizens starve with worms...Probably resorting to eating bugs....How can anyone stand to be that way....

[marcusmeneder]

[ehmjay]

When you look at pictures of North Koreans and the Kims, you get the feeling that the Kims are eating the rest of their countrymen's food.

Esta gente piensa que va ha ser eterna. Vanagloriandose de su poder militar, sintiendose un todo poderoso.
Riquesas materiales son efimeras, todo se corroe .
Lo unico que perdura por siempre son las buenas acciones, amor y respeto que diste a tu projimo. De lo demas, no te llevaras absolutamente nada.
