Kim Jong Un: Attractive Leader
Many people around the world are unstinting in their praise of Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, calling him a man to whom everyone cannot but be attracted.
Beloved Leader of the People
The Korean people call him “our leader” and “beloved leader of the people.” Wherever he goes, they greet him with thunderous applause and feel honoured by his visit. Their respect for him is based on his noble personality and benevolent politics for the people. His political activities are always related to the people and consist of important undertakings geared to realizing their hope and desire.
“Make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people!”, “Give top and absolute priority to the interests of the people!”
These catch-phrases of his are permeated with his boundless love and affection for the people. He regards himself as a servant of the people.
The photos he has taken with the people are quite illustrative.
He had photos taken with the people even in a storehouse filled with fishy smell or on a heap of potatoes and with kindergarteners on his both sides. Such photos cannot be found in the albums of heads of state of other countries.
Witnessing the thunderous cheers of the Korean people for their leader, many foreign visitors said that they wondered whether they were in heaven or on the earth.
Leader in World Spotlight
In the bedlam caused by COVID-19 which rapidly spreads over the world in 2020, Kim Jong Un is back in the spotlight.
In late January, Kim Jong Un, with a keen insight into the serious consequences of the spread of COVID-19, saw to it that decisive, preemptive and comprehensive anti-epidemic emergency measures were taken throughout the country.
It was before the WHO declared the international emergency state due to COVID-19. In this situation, the DPRK set the national anti-epidemic emergency system in motion ahead of the other countries and started a strong nationwide anti-epidemic combat against COVID-19. The far-sightedness and outstanding leadership of Kim Jong Un further attracted worldwide attention.
Laudable Traits of the Young People in the DPRK
A Chinese newspaper carried an article headlined “A missing handbag of a Chinese businesswoman was returned by the help of a Korean girl,” introducing Ri Chun Hwa, a receptionist at a hotel in Rason in the northern part of Korea, who gave back to its owner a handbag she had picked up by chance. It contained a large amount of money, passport and documents.
Similar laudable young people can be found anywhere in the DPRK.
A similar thing happened to a businessman of the Yanbian Qinglin Trade Company, China. The hero was Ri Myong Ryul, a worker at the Rason Youth Power Station. The Chinese businessman said about his impression as following:
I cannot but admire the Korean young people for their noble and sound spiritual world. When I lost my wallet containing a large sum of money, I was despondent to think it was impossible to get it back. However, a Korean young man restored it for me. Quite admirable is the spiritual world of the Korean young people who have no greed for money.
The spiritual world of the Korean young people is truly ennobling.
As it has such laudable young people, the future of Korea is bright.
