Jong-Un was speaking at a massive military parade in Pyongyang to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Worker’s party, when he removed his glasses to wipe away tears as he spoke to the assembled crowd. “Our people have placed trust, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, in me, but I have failed to always live up to it satisfactorily,” a translation of his statement read. “I am really sorry for that,” he added. Experts say that the rare display of emotion might be evidence that he is facing mounting pressure as the leader of the country. “Underneath his message, one can sense that Kim is feeling a lot of pressure on his leadership,” said Hong Min, who directs the North Korean division at the Korean Institute for National Unification.
