He atleast had the gut to admit his guilt and is trying his best to make the situation better, unlike our corrupt and greedy politicians here in the states. I hate all dictators, but i guess that’s a +1 for Kimmie boy,..
Stupid is as stupid does.
Is he dying?
2:32 I like that😍💋 💝💖❤️
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
my respect for kim jong un has increased. it takes lot of courage for a leader to admit his mistakes, no other leader in the world has the courage top do this. i am sure north korea will rise again
And I’m sure the great Roman Empire will also rise again
The only way to solve N Korea problems, is to end the dictatorship. Fool.
Imagine respect a leader that treats his people worst than stalin
You OK dude?
Its really astonishing to see dictator admitting his fault in the arena of economics.. Other democracies should take this is an epitome and try to accept their wrongdoings especially economically and morally….I wish global leaders and even leaders of mine own country India do accept their mistakes nd help to make world a more sustainable place..
Happy new year✌
They actually do admit to failures every once in a while, you guys and your news sources insist on denying to acknowledge it unless it fits into your narratives. It is about time we start applying the same level of nuance we apply to our own governments to them. It has become apparent from current events that Western leaders are no different from so-called dictators if you apply the same black and white perspective to them.
The only way to make the world a sustainable place is to cull the human plague. Dumb Dumb.
@Jerome Tabiri What? ‘We’ DO place much more ‘nuance’ on our own Western Democratic Governments than these dictators. Western governments are criticized daily, or even hourly, by their nation’s news networks and there own citizens. There is not one Western Democratic Country where this is not the case.
Wake up. Autocratic communism has been devastating to North Korea. The standard or living and life expectancy for the south is immensely higher than that of the north. The losers are the North Korean people, and this must change for their sake.
@Aaron Colusso I am awake brother, I hope you are awake too. We quickly look past all the atrocities committed around the world and even in their own countries, by so called shining examples of democracy and point fingers at so called dictators. We know north koreans are suffering under their dictator but will we acknowledge for once that it’s just as bad or worse with our shining examples? It is that quick justification you’ll make for your democracies to justify why they behaved just as badly or worse, is what I was referring to. I never said western governments were not criticized, they are but with sizeable amounts nuance we never give the other side.
Long live great leader
Wow you are a idiot.
There will be no biden now come on wake up.
Not to smart are you little man.
Lol my mans here spent his entire pocket money on the military parade:(
Poor guy became broke as he had to spend all his money on luxurious Swiss cheese and French wine.
He doesn’t have to face any consequences for admitting failure. It’s not like he will be voted out for it while his opposition relentlessly attacks his record if it was a democracy.
The important thing to be asking is not one of political judgements, but if that type of thinking will lead to better and stronger beliefs that things must change. Sorry but your statement seems pessimistic, and we dont really need that.
@Dustin Olsen The only way to solve N Korea problems, is to end the dictatorship. Not to smart are you little man.
Admission that you have a problem, is the foundation of solving the problem.
L
Surrendering to solve problem created by others is not wise either
@Miss uppy you must be a Democrat
Miss uppy . And they say gaddafi was a dictator to, but look what he did for his country and his people until America and it’s stooges destroyed it .
Honesty is a great thing, it builds more than any lie could.
The running narrative in North Korea is that it is the greatest country in the world and nobody should feel any jealousy toward the lesser outside world. The ideological foundation of the entire political party is a lie… So you will excuse me if I don’t praise the honesty of Asian Trump.
@IKtheVS with that mindset, things will never change. I think that he should consider stepping down in regards to policy decisions that he might not really have the best understandings of, or how they even curb the outcome of North Korea. He should allow other organizations to rise in his country that specialize in bringing about more robust and thriving communities and not see them as a security threat.
@Dustin Olsen That’s nice in theory, but in practice dictators ONLY survive by keeping all the power and killing anyone who threatens them…. It’s not a system that allows peaceful power sharing.
@IKtheVS so hopefully he will get that message, by showing not only empathy for his people, but also how the rest of the world views him. I do know that being judgemental and shaming in response to his behavior will not influence him in the way that we would hope would change such behavior, it would only further delay any progression.
Healing 🙏
Sorry everyone, he was getting high with James Franco and I – Seth Rogan.
As a North Korean I have to be truthful our country is very bad I could even get sent to the hole for saying this but it’s truth I would much greater be in china or uk
fresh haircut
Remove all the sanction let’s see the spirit of north korea
Stop western sanctions and this garbage report will stop
Maybe they could invite Trump to rule there, he´s the greatest president of all the world….
Just toss the nukes bro
I feel like he says the same thing every year. The media covers its the same way.
Just imaging if one of them was caught not clapping
Just imagine the propaganda you consumed
NORTHSTAR why no WIFI ? ? ?
And literally they know how to get out of these economic crisis.
1:12 I like the way he says disappointed. It sounds so polite. “dis. ah. point. teh’d.” 😄
They about to kill him
South Korea has an economy that is _40 times larger_ than the economy of North Korea, and twice the population. The South Koreans can provide for their own defense.
60 times larger than the economy of nk
Very nice video, from your biggest South African fan
Oh hi Mark
Communism is dumb
Why not someone offered to help him and teach him a better way to live regarding his people and war is so boring these days 🙈 as a child of God I can forgive him if he is willing to humble himself before the LORD Jesus Christ from Nazareth 😍🤗 it’s simply poor advice that has got him where he is.
You need to grow a brain little girl.

With everything going on, I think a lot of people are getting distracted from the real purpose of life. You must believe and have faith in God, and only take what God has ordained for you. Do not walk on this earth a bigot, like a bully in the sandbox, playing with toys that are not yours, just because you can. This is devilish behavior and God does not like an arrogant disbeliever.
Life beats you, wears you down and tests you until you are at the breaking point. Then, after the test is over, the pressure is relieved. Unfortunately, some people are too fragile spiritually and succumb to their evil desires, in an attempt to fill the void inside of them and silence their guilty conscious, even if momentarily. All this while forgetting the blessings they have. So God curses them, he gives them everything they want, but leaves them never satisfied. This is God trying to show you the most important thing is your soul, not material worldly possessions or pleasures.
Mankind was made capable of sin, and capable of doing good. There’s the good path and the evil path. Sin is part of human nature, don’t feel in despair because you think you’re too far gone down the wrong path. There’s always hope. The decisions you make is the path you decided to follow. Think of the forbidden tree and the original sin. Adam & Eve were curious about the forbidden fruit, even though they had all of heaven to go on about. They still took a bite of the fruit from the forbidden tree, forgetting all the blessing the have. God still forgave them, after they repented. This is the image we were created in. On the flipcoin, one good deed will be rewarded 10 times. This is the mercy of God. Take one step in his path, he will take 10 towards you.
For if God didn’t give you the option to sin, we would all be angels and there would be no need for the trails and tribulations we face, and existence would be meaningless. Humans were created weak, but in return God treats his creation with great mercy and compassion. All you have to do is repent sincerely.
But what happens when you lose faith? Then you lost it all. Once you lose faith in God, you will try to find the path back but you can’t. God will abandon you like you abandoned him. What follows is a steep descendance into a life of evil and arrogance. Why you may ask?
Because you lost faith not only in God, but also in redemption by God. This is the biggest mistake. For God is the most merciful, most benevolent. After all, why did God create us and give us a chance at life if it wasn’t out of pure belief and admiration for Adam & Eve, our original mother & father.
God is great, merciful, all seeing, all hearing.
So, if you are one of those people that lost faith, repent sincerely and God will forgive all, if he wishes. Your job is to find that deep seeded love for the creator in your heart. Then, genuinely ask for forgiveness. Keep believing that God hears your call for help and all your problems will be resolved. Once you do this, and just when you least expect it, God will bestow his mercy upon you and ease all your problems. God is with those who are patient.
May God make this year blessed for everyone
Stupid you are.
Last he apologized to Koreans for not providing good lifestyle,
Now he admits about economic development.
Hope to see North Korea in good condition soon
It does not matter. They dont have option.
The only way to solve N Korea problems, is to end the dictatorship.
Very sad

They would have more economic success if they stop wasting their money on bullets for show of strength and start actually spending resources on theor people
The Right Stuff 🙏🇱🇷
Imagine one person sneezeduring that clap 👀
Great leader…
Things must be worst than they actually are if he’s confirming the fallout
That time he died but resurrected, or when he scored a double century opening the batting for North Korea,my favorite Kim jong moments
Maybe his sister killed him and this is his body double. I dont think the real Kim would ever admit to failure
