Kim Jong-un, Pleasure Squads, and North Korean Propaganda
Reports indicate Kim Jong-un will visit Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin, marking his first trip abroad as leader. Concurrently, media outlets report the reinstatement of "pleasure squads" or "joy brigades" in North Korea following a three-year mourning period for Kim Jong-il. The use of misleading B-roll by news organizations to depict these groups is criticized.
