North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had been out of the public eye for some years. Now when he returned, he had a spectacular show planned for him. Kim Jong watched a martial arts demonstration, where he sat on stage with several appointed officials.
In a viral video, North Korean soldiers are seen crushing bricks with their heads. They are lying on glass, and engaging in other extreme forms of battle. While Kim Jong-un watches with a broad smile on his face. The video was broadcast on KRT, the country’s state-run television network. It has since gone popular on social media. The soldiers were observed destroying things, breaking free from chains, laying on glass, and other displays of strength.

“These soldiers embraced and raised by our party. They will demonstrate to the whole world their strength, bravery. The morale of the Korean People’s Army,” newsreader Ri Chun Hee – North Korea’s most famous presenter – says. She added the strength of these participants was “bestowed upon them by our dear leader Kim Jong Un”.
Kim says North Korea’s weapons development is necessary for the face of hostile policies from the United States and a military build-up south of the border. Pyongyang is only increasing its military in self-defence. Not to start a war, Kim says in a speech at the Defence Development Exhibition. This was reported by state news agency KCNA. The event was organised to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the creation of North Korea’s ruling party.
