The image of current leader Kimg Jong Un won’t be seen until after he passes away… but his father and grandfather, previous leaders and the liberator of North Korea, are present absolutely everywhere. In every village, on every highway, and behind every square, one can find their larger-than-life portraits and people regularly bowing down to them to pay their respects. Even I was forced to do it twice.
