Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is a very informal man.
Video footage of him continuously visiting people on his way of on-spot guidance shows him bowing to the people who greet him and whispering into their ears.

When he visited a kindergarten, newly built in Pyongyang, he saw a little girl playing at being a doctor. He rolled up his sleeves and asked her to check his body. Placing a toy stethoscope on his arm, the young “doctor'
How could he mingle with the people so well? Maybe it is because he has an ennobling view on people that he is a son, a servant, of the people before he is the leader of a state.
