2. He Believes People Can Always Grieve Harder

When Kim Jong Il passed away, one of Kim Jong Un’s first acts as Supreme Leader was to keep a close eye on his followers’ level of grief. Throughout North Korea, those people who were accused of not paying enough tribute to Kim Jong Un were actually imprisoned for up to six months at a time. Those people who publicly or privately criticized the new leader or tried to leave North Korea were also punished.
