SIAP, didn't see yet

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un brought a new look to his New Year’s address – ditching the formalities of a podium and microphone bank to speak from a plush leather chair in front of a wooden mantle piece.

Wearing a suit and tie and sitting alone on camera, Kim brought fr imagery to his New Year’s address on Tuesday, more reminiscent of a fireside chat than of a stiff address interrupted by thunderous applause of fawning cadres. The atmospherics supported North Korean propaganda efforts to paint Kim as a modern political leader who could be trusted with a nuclear arsenal. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-01/kim-jong-un-s-fireside-chat-shows-north-korea-bid-for-acceptance
