      He's slouching a bit in a chair during a military exercise. It's poor form, sure, but I think calling this "fulfilling painful and possibly dangerous acts for the amusement of a slouched Kim Yong Un" is a bit of a stretch. You could just as well call it "Kim Jong Un bored during military martial arts demonstration".

        "Kim Jong Un not hype for magic show"

        It would honestly be weirder if he was super serious about it. The fact that he's giggling like a schoolgirl shows that they know this isn't a serious display and is mostly just entertainment.

          Honestly, at 1:45 he looks like he's trying pretty hard not to smile lmao. I really don't see this as dystopian or anything, it's just a kind of goofy martial arts demonstration.

            It's literally a show, they broadcast this to the country and the brass is just there because that's a normal thing for military shows.
