Footage of North Korean communist leader Kim Jong Un crying over his country’s abysmal economy was reportedly shown among the country’s top government brass.

On Wednesday, May 30, an unnamed North Korean defector told Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun that the video was featured in a documentary to “educate party officials who lead the lowest rungs of the leadership apparatus or state-run enterprises.”
