North Korean leader Kim Jong-un gets emotional during speech - BBC News

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un became emotional during a speech at a military parade over the weekend.

He wiped away tears as he spoke of the country's struggles.

While the military display featured newly developed massive missiles, Kim Jong-un thanked his troops for their efforts against the pandemic and recent natural disasters.

Observers have suggested that he may be trying to show humility even as the country faces a mounting economic crisis.

They cried after him because they knew what's gonna happen if they didn't cry.

[tin]

They are crying because he is still alive.

“Who ever cries the hardest gets bread and fresh water!”

[azero]

Can’t blame the guy for faking emotion, that’s kind of North Korea’s expertise.

[RapBlas]

He said he’s gonna kill them if they don’t cry.

After all these years I finally heard that man's voice.

[proxpaider]

He was only crying because onions were next to him

[xananymous]

He's sad cuz he is unable to lose weight during his quarantine.

I wonder if he ever get emotional when he is starving his own people to death.

[jojorabbit]

Imagine if someone laughs very hard 🤣 during the speech.

[ozz]

Love him or hate him you gotta admit
He’s got a fresh fade

[augustchoi]

To be emotional is human, that won’t change anything he’s done or about to do

[SimDowd]

Likelihood is that he had them tear-gassed because they weren't clapping him loudly enough.

[ConcreteObelisk]

He cried cuz he's the only fat person in his country. Everyone else cried cuz it's true.

[alessiobubbles]

He cries because something else stole the kills (of his citizens)

In his head "I don't want to be replaced by my little sister"

[sumvs]

"He thanked the troops for their effort against the coronavirus" oh that's why they have no cases!

Translation: i'm too fat for irene that's why she dumped me for a potato.

[nokoinsight]

I escaped from North Korea and Kim jong un's tears means nothing compare to north koreans who are suffering and are living everyday with constant torture. The fact that he is showing his emotion now makes me angry.
