Oyyyyyy! Hurts like a bastid! Thanks for asking. Have him shot.
North Korean state media continued to report on Kim's brisk activities, with the latest visit bringing the total number of his public tours so far this year to 82, compared to 57 last year.
Kim "expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the soldier builders have built the modern factory in such a manner as to let it win the admiration of posterity," the KCNA said.
