New photographs released by the hermit kingdom show the North Korean leader touring a newly-renovated teacher training facility as cheering crowds are brought to tears by his visit.
The pictures were released via the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) today, though it is impossible to know exactly when they were taken.
The series of images shows the dictator inspecting the Pyongyang Teacher Training College, flanked by his usual entourage of underlings armed with notebooks, who reportedly write down much of what the supreme leader says.
In one picture, Kim can be seen grinning and clapping in front of an excited crowd of North Koreans, some of whom are crying.
Another image shows a member of staff at the facility delivering a lesson to a ‘virtual classroom’ projected on to a screen.

Today’s pictures are just the latest in a long series of propaganda photos distributed by KCNA.
Past releases have shown Kim touring factories, inspecting troops and supervising missile launches.
And in spite of his reputation for cruelty, the North Korean leader is frequently shown laughing or smiling and pictures often include crowds of adoring citizens.
These latest pictures from inside the hermit state comes as America’s top diplomat, Rex Tillerson, today warned the North Korean nuclear crisis was at a “tenuous stage”.
Speaking at a summit in Vancouver, the US Secretary of State struck a gloomy tone about the prospect of conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
Asked if the United States could soon be at war with North Korea, Mr Tillerson said: “I think we all need to be very sober and clear-eyed about the current situation.
“We have to recognise that the threat is growing.
“And if North Korea does not choose the path of engagement, of discussion, negotiations, then they themselves will trigger an option.”
He added Pyongyang “knows our channels are open” if the hermit kingdom decides it is willing to discuss denuclearisation.
President Donald Trump has previously warned Mr Tillerson he is “wasting his time” trying to negotiate with North Korea.
Tweeting in October, the commander in chief added: “Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!”
