"North Korea's 'Friendly Father': Kim Jong Un's New Song and Apartment Project"

North Korea released a new song and music video titled "Friendly Father," praising leader Kim Jong Un as a "friendly father" and depicting a utopian image of the country. The song, dropped by state-controlled media, features enthusiastic residents singing catchy lines in support of Kim Jong Un. The release is seen as part of a push to reinforce the leadership cult around Kim, but the video's portrayal contrasts sharply with the reality of life for many North Koreans, who face poverty and restricted freedoms.
