A recent documentary featuring Kim Jong Un riding a white horse and talking to military personnel is the latest addition to a publicity campaign for the new leader of North Korea. The nation looks to allieviate widespread concern about Jong Un’s limited military experience. As the world’s youngest head of state, Jong Un took all of Kim Jon-g Il’s titles, including supreme commander of the military, in late December, and is currently in control of the country’s 1.2 million soldiers.
