A seemingly carefree Kim Jong Un visited a fish-pickling plant wearing a floppy straw hat, a white T-shirt and a broad grin. The diminutive dictator inspected stockpiles of food not missiles, for a change packaged like Western brands such as Nutella at the Kumsanpho plant in South Hwanghae Province.
The vast array of food belied the stark reality of famine across the Hermit Kingdom.
The outing was one of several recent visits to manufacturing factories as Kim seeks to showcase the countrys domestic economic strength despite the economy shrinking 3.5 percent last year.
Kumsanpho makes 30 pickled fish products including eel, anchovy and shrimp that come in a variety of salty and spicy options.
The leader typically sports his signature Mao-style suit on official occasions, but perhaps embraced the casual duds to stay cool during the countrys recent heat wave.

I really do. That or something equally as heinous.
