Kim Jong-Un excitedly points at things Kim Jong-un hasn't been leader of North Korea very long, but he has mastered the finger pointing already. THESE are exciting times in North Korea. And the latest Dear Leader, Kim Jong-Un, has plenty to be excited about. The latest announcement was production of the notoriously secretive communist nation's first smartphone, the Arirang. Actually, for a notoriously secretive communist nation, North Korea is very open with distributing approved photographs of Kim Jong-Un out and about doing all manner of things. As you can see in our latest collection, Kim is a master at pointing out things. From authoritative gestures to indeterminable objects in the distance, to casual "over the shoulder" thumb flicks to something "just over there," nobody does finger pointing like Kim. And it's not only finger-pointing. Kim's pretty sharp when it comes to standard hand gestures. Though, as the First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of North Korea, the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, and also a presidium member of the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea, you'd expect him to know his stuff. If there's something worth pointing at, Kim Jong-un will point at it. And a photographer from the official Korean news agency, KCNA, will be there to catch the moment. Like that time he saw art Here, Kim Jong-Un is pointing at an art exhibit at the State Industrial Art Exhibition held at the State Industrial Art Centre in Pyongyang to mark the centenary of the birth of former North Korean president and Jong-Un's grandfather, Kim Il-Sung, in April. And an empty room Not even empty rooms can escape the keen eye of Master Finger-Pointer, Kim Jong Un. Or stood on some rocks to point at something Mixing up locations is the key to effective finger pointing. Here, Kim Jong-un demonstrates the "on top of a pile of rocks" method. Remember: whenever Kim points, take notes! There is an old North Korean expression that goes something like: When Kim makes hand gestures, people are wise to take notes. Sometimes, Kim mixes up standard finger pointing ... with open-hand gestures Kim doesn't always use his finger to point at things. He likes to mix things up and use the "open hand pointing" technique as well. Or props Occasionally, Kim likes to surprise his comrades and use a stick to point at things. Or getting someone else to do it Sometimes, Kim allows a mate to do the pointing such as here duringa live fire drill using self-propelled drones at an undisclosed location in North Korea in March. Or getting someone else to do it, even if he does have a large yellow stick handy Kim had this yellow stick ready to point at things, but it wasn't needed as someone else took up the duty. And just to mix things up, Kim sometimes pulls out the casual thumb-over-the-shoulder move Just to keep us guessing, Kim likes to mix his finger-pointing up and use his thumb from time to time. Kim knows his manners, however. He knows when NOT to point. Such as when talking to ladies in some random rural area Kim Jong-un knows his manners. He realises it's rude to point at people, so he keeps his hands firmly clasped behind his back when meeting ladies in front of random rural housing. Good lesson there, you young people Source: AFP Or talking to any lady for that matter, this is where hand gestures can be an effective substitute Kim has found finger pointing and confident open-hand gestures can assist when dealing with members of the opposite sex. You have to hand it to Kim, he's a dab hand with his digits. Kim Jong Un raises his hand with other officials to adopt a statement during a plenary meeting of the central committee of the ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang, North Korea. Here are some photographs of Kim doing interesting stuff: Looking at wheelbarrows Kim's fascination with inanimate objects extends to these wheelbarrow thingamyjigs. Watching grass grow If he's not pointing or waving, Kim relaxes by getting together with friends and watching grass grow. Looking at this metal thing while wearing a white coat In a dramatic change from his customary black suit, Kim donned this fetching white lab coat for a tour of a pig farm and slaughterhouse. Hanging out in room full of mushrooms (he looks pleased, they must be magic) Kim reckons these mushrooms are magic. They're on a mushroom farm built by farm No.1116 under Korean People's Army (KPA) unit 534 at an undisclosed location in North Korea. Inspecting this bed Here is Kim leaning on a bed. We're not sure why. But it looks comfy enough. Maybe somewhere to rest after a hard day pointing at things. Looking pleased with these roller skates Nothing escapes the keen attention of Kim, not even roller skates. Chilling with some mates When not pointing at things, or inspecting things, Kim likes to hang out with a few mates, while thousands stand behind and clap them on. And looking at this fogged-up window Kim has also mastered the difficult art of looking interested when peering into empty rooms. Though it can be a challenge, even for an expert such as him. Finally, Kim's skills should be passed to the younger generation. Kim' is a "hands on" leader, though we're not sure what's going on here. Kim is always happy to pass on finger-pointing tips to the younger generation.
