US fighter jets buzzed the rogue nation as they flew over South Korea as part of the Seoul International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition being held this weekend.
The display saw a series of F-22 Raptors, one of the most advanced jets in the world, perform in an air show after taking off from the Seoul Military Airport in Seongnam, south of Seoul.
The high-tech ‘Raptor’ stealth planes are the most capable air superiority fighters in the world, able to sneak past radar undetected.
During today’s media event at the air show, the aircraft soared hundreds of feet above spectators to show off their military might in a warning to Kim Jong-Un.
And an F-35 stealth fighter also took part in the show on Saturday, along with the ‘Black Eagles’ aerobatics team of South Korea’s Air Force.
The eye-catching black-and-white or orange-and-black jets, adorned with sharp lines and angular features, performed a dramatic display – creating love hearts and loop-the-loops in the air as red and blue smoke billowed behind them.

Hundreds of people stood to watch the display in awe, as the jets sped overhead reaching huge speeds.
Earlier this week, the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford arrived in Seoul for talks on ways to better deal with threats from North Korea.
He met the South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the Blue House on Monday, where the pair were thought to host discussions on the North Korea’s latest provocations and threats, as well as their bilateral defence alliance.
Gen Dunford’s visit to Seoul is part of his Asia tour, including Japan and China to hold talks with his counterparts on regional security issues.
And his trip coincided with the air show, being held from October 17 to 22, which comes amid strained tensions between Washington and Pyongyang.
On Thursday, Pyongyang warned of an “unimaginable strike at an unimaginable time” on US targets in response to the ongoing US-South Korean joint naval drills near the Korean Peninsula.
And a day later, a senior diplomat vowed to “fight fire with fire” if the USA were to attack as North Korea insisted having nuclear weapons was a matter of “life or death”.
While Mr Trump has refused to rule out taking military action against the secretive nation and even threatened that North Korea could be “totally annihilated”.
While nuclear weapons and security experts say the rest of the world really should be worried about the potential fallout from some of the President’s tweets.
Alex Wellerstein, a historian of nuclear weapons, warned Mr Trump’s failure to back down from his aggressive rhetoric could see Pyongyang simply increase its nuclear weapons testing as it deems the USA to remain a significant threat.
He said: “I think the belligerent rhetoric is making it worse. I don’t think he is clear on how to get people to do what you want if they aren’t already inclined to agree with you.
“When you have a lot of money, people around you tend to do what you say, and that isn’t really great preparation for international diplomacy.
