Interestingly enough, Kim Jong Eun also made a different choice than that of his father (Kim Jong Il). In truth, he was engrossed in “Kim Il Sung costume play” ever since his days as successor. He gained weight in order to look like Kim Il Sung, and took on the hairstyle and clothing that were popular in Pyongyang several decades ago. After Kim Jong Il died, he personally delivered the New Year’s Address instead of releasing in the form of the New Year’s Joint Editorial. North Korea’s supreme leader himself is the most effective method of propaganda and agitation: his words become the government’s objectives and the places he visits become managed as “revolutionary historical sites”. People who have personally met the supreme leader are referred to as “receivers” and their consideration by and advancement in the Workers’ Party is guaranteed. These factors would one to assume that North Korean media outlets would be very effective tools in fostering Kim Jong Eun's emulation of Kim Il Sung.
However, Kim Jong Eun’s New Year’s Address delivery on KCTV on Janaury 1st was cloaked in failure. It was said that Kim Jong Eun’s authority was showing a trend of stabilization after Jang Song Thaek’s execution, but Kim Jong Eun appeared patently uneasy in the footage released by North Korean media outlets.

The footage reveals Kim Jong Eun to be visibly nervous from beginning to end. He seems unable to be still for even a single moment. The most embarrassing instant is when he grips the podium with both hands and pushes out his rear end. The only way to describe this is to say that he “sways.” Although the lower half of his body from his waist down is hidden by the podium, his hands, shoulders, and gaze lean forward then push back-- and at some moments rock from left to right. Whether due to his smoking or obesity, Kim Jong Eun’s lower half keeps trembling. The camera that must follow Kim Jong Il’s movements also shakes with him.

If this guy has absolute power after offing his uncle I don't get why he would have such a poor performance when everything is staged from the get-go. Something must be going on that nobody knows about.
