North Koreans seen wearing Kim Jong Un pins for the first time as his personality cult grows
LA TimesIn a photo provided by the North Korean government, a senior official wears a pin with the image of Kim Jong Un during a meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party on Sunday in Pyongyang. For the first time, North Korean officials have been seen wearing lapel pins with the image of leader Kim Jong Un, another sign the North is boosting his personality cult to the level bestowed on his late dictator father and grandfather. North Koreans are required to wear pins over their hearts which for decades bore images of either the country’s founder, Kim Il Sung, or his son Kim Jong Il, or both. The existence of pins dedicated to Kim Jong Un had not been verified until state media published photos on Sunday showing officials wearing his pins at a ruling Workers’ Party meeting.
