Ri could be seen smiling and clapping beside Kim at the banquet which celebrated scientists and engineers who carried out what North Korea claims to have been a successful hydrogen bomb test on Sept. 3. The performances included choral pieces titled “Glory to General Kim Jong Un” and “The Glorious Motherland.”
