North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been the focus of a new propaganda song titled 'Friendly Father,' which praises him as the nation's benevolent leader. The song, released along with a music video by North Korean Central Television, has gained popularity within the country and has also become a meme in Western countries. The song features lyrics that glorify Kim Jong Un's leadership, referring to him as 'the great leader' and 'the friendly father.' This release is part of a broader effort by Kim Jong Un to enhance his cult of personality, as evidenced by recent state media reports praising his initiatives, including a newly opened housing street in Pyongyang. The song has been described as a 'deluded song' and has been declared 'song of the year' in some circles.
