In the video aired by the North's state-run television station, KRT, soldiers performed multiple shows of strength: smashing items, breaking free from chains, lying on glass and throwing knives. Kim smiled and clapped as he watched the show at the Defence Development Exhibition 'Self-Defence-2021'. During the exhibition, Kim said his country's weapons development is necessary in the face of the US' hostile policies and a military buildup in South Korea.

    It's not a demonstration of their physical strength. That's just how strong North-Korean concrete is.
  • @BrightLit712
    This is one of the rare occasions where he seems to be genuinely impressed.
  • @gotti2.0
    1:00 he had that look on his face like these guys are crazy
  • @reachfrandia
    While the supreme leader himself is on his way to become a human panda.
  • @ronjacob9242
    Their enemy: Oh no, their so physically strong Also the enemy: brings out guns and missiles
  • @tadeuaguiar3585
    The incentive for the soldiers to do this was to imagine that they were destroying Kim Jong-un's head.
  • The dude who busted the brick with his head while running is my hero . I've always wanted to run at full speed like juggernaut and bust through doors .
  • @Pinball_Wizard
    I cannot lie, these guys are unbelievably agile and strong. Their weight training programs gotta be insane
  • i respect that these activities were seemingly selected by how ridiculously dangerous and unbelievable they are. astounding
  • @youneskasdi
    I'm honestly impressed by how agile they are, military troops around the world are usually trained to be bulky these lads are trained like ninjas
  • @nishantaadi
    And I thought opening my tomato sauce bottle front of family was kickass.
  • @bowler7922
    This is impressive but I doubt it would be very effective against a guy with a gun.
  • @shoeman6966
    Kim looked genuinely shocked when the dude ran through the bricks with his head
  • @Nana_UFC
    Imagine all the physical training they had to go through and then they just die to a bullet to the head.
