Kim Jong-un: Photos of North Korean leader surrounded by his adoring female fanbase
By David Sim August 11, 2015 12:11 BST
North Korea has released photos of Kim Jong-un meeting the country's women's football team at Pyongyang airport after they won the East Asian Cup. The leader lavished praise on the side for beating their bitter enemy South Korea, and held each player's hand to express his approval. The women appeared to be overwhelmed by the gesture, many of them in floods of tears.

Kim seems to have that effect on women wherever he goes. Photograph after photograph of adoring women clamouring to touch him serve to demonstrate how much the people of North Korea adore their leader.
Although the photos are clearly staged for propaganda purposes, much of the emotion may be genuine. There is a cult of personality around Kim Jong-un (and his father and grandfather before him). North Koreans are taught from an early age that their leader is almost god-like. On the other hand, his loyal subjects know it is in their own interests to be seen fawning over him.

P!
If our president had a short, Asian son through a dalliance . . .
Don’t show enough reverence and die.
Obama has massive envy goin on.
Truly the epitome of Korean evolution. The Alpha-Korean. A specimen to behold this Kim Jun Un. Breathtaking (in the Seinfeld episode way.)
Oooohhhhh, dear reader you-a hung rike a brig gerbil...
If you are among the elite or value your life, I suppose feigning love for this guy is the thing to do. But I can’t imagine this pompous little clown actually being thought of as god-like.
Whenever I see him in photos being hugged by women and children I always think, “He could have every one of them executed if he so desired and nobody would do a thing about it.”
I have to wonder if the South Korean team let them win, knowing they'd likely be executed if they lost.
That bottom pick has got to be photo-shopped.
There’s no way that runt could be physically bigger than that many people — not even in North Korea.
“Oppa Gangnam Style!”
He is mobbed by his adoring base...or ELSE!!!
Boy, those are some ugly women. And I say that because there are a lot of hot South Koreans. I’m just seriously wondering whether the NORKs have essentially decimated their gene pool.
When he is the only one eating food and the rest of them are eating tree bark and dirt what do you expect?
The power of gun control. Secret Service would never let POTUS try that in America.
Where's Kim Jong-Waldo?
The women cry because they are terrified. Duh!
