During the Eighth Central Committee Meeting of the Workers' Party held on June 28, 2024, North Korea for the first time saw officials wearing badges with the image of Kim Jong Un. The North Korean Foreign Ministry accused the recent joint military exercises of the U.S., Japan, and South Korea as forming an 'Asian version of NATO.' Officials at the meeting were seen donning badges with the current leader's image, indicating a new measure to promote personal worship. The meeting discussed economic development hindrances, set priorities for the second half of the year, and witnessed the first public display of Kim Jong Un badges. The North Korean regime's tradition of fostering personality cult was evident in how Kim Jong Un's image and praises were promoted in various ways, even leading to a popular but government-restricted song.
