Kim Jong-un, this name can be described as thunderous in North Korea. As the leader of this country, his position is unparalleled. This is not only because he inherited the political legacy of the Kim Il Sung family, but also because there is an almost religious worship of him in North Korea.
This kind of worship actually has historical origins. Since the time of Kim Il Sung, a special culture has developed in North Korea, and that is the worship of leaders. Kim Il Sung was not only the founder of North Korea, but also regarded as the soul of the country and the hope of the nation. His birthday is celebrated as the "Day of the Sun," and the North Korean people celebrate it with great pomp and circumstance to express their admiration and gratitude to the leader. This tradition continued into the time of Kim Jong-un.
As the grandson of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong-un naturally inherited this honor and respect. His name and image are ubiquitous in North Korea. Everywhere you go, you'll see his portraits and slogans. Portraits of Kim Jong-un are hung in schools, squares, streets, and even people's homes. Through songs, dramas, movies and other forms, people sang the praises of his wisdom and greatness. This ubiquitous image of the leader makes the North Korean people feel his presence and majesty in their daily lives at all times.
Why do the North Korean people have such a deep admiration for Kim Jong-un? There are many reasons for this. First, North Korea's media and propaganda apparatus have put a lot of effort into portraying Kim Jong-un. In a variety of ways, they portrayed Kim Jong-un as a wise, decisive and charismatic leader. On North Korean television, newspapers and radio, we can often see images of Kim Jong-un going down to the grassroots, condolences to the masses, and guiding work. These images have created a strong trust and admiration for Kim Jong-un.
North Korea's education system also plays a big role. In North Korean schools, students are educated and nurtured about Kim Jong-un from an early age. They learn from his thoughts, learn from his deeds, and imitate his words and deeds. This education has strengthened Mr. Kim's place in the hearts of North Korea's younger generation.
Another important factor is the social environment in North Korea. North Korea is a relatively closed country, with limited knowledge and contact with the outside world. This makes it easier for them to accept and identify with the "leader worship" culture at home. In North Korea, the leader is not only a political representative, but also a spiritual sustenance and faith. It is believed that the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation can only be achieved by following in the footsteps of the leader.
This phenomenon of "leader worship" is not without controversy. Some believe that this excessive worship may cause people to lose the ability to think for themselves and blindly obey the decisions of their leaders. This can hinder the progress and development of society. At the same time, excessive concentration of power can also lead to abuse of power and corruption.
Kim Jong-un's position in North Korea is unshakable. He is not only the leader of the country, but also the god in the hearts of the people. Every decision and action he makes affects the fate and future of the entire country. For the North Korean people, Kim Jong-un is the hope and sustenance in their hearts and the guiding light on their way forward.
Of course, we should also realize that the phenomenon of "leader worship" in North Korea does not exist in isolation. It is closely related to the unique political system, social environment and historical traditions of the DPRK. In a special country like the DPRK, the status and authority of the leader are of great significance to maintaining the country's stability and development. At the same time, we should also maintain our attention and understanding of the DPRK in order to promote friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
Kim Jong-un's position in North Korea is indisputable. His exalted status stems both from the continuation of historical traditions and from the needs of realpolitik. In the hearts of the Korean people, he is not only the leader of the country, but also the pride and hope of the nation. However, we should also recognize that there are some potential risks and problems associated with the phenomenon of "leader worship". Only by promoting independent thinking and social progress while maintaining respect for leaders can the prosperity and stability of the country be truly realized.
For neighbors and friendly neighbors like ours, we should also respect the culture and traditions of the DPRK and strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. By learning from each other, we can work together to promote peace and development in the region and build a better future.
