The 'Kim Jong-un Watching Television' meme stems from various official state-released photographs of the North Korean leader conducting 'field guidance' or inspecting military technology. In these images, Kim Jong-un is frequently seen staring intensely at computer monitors or large flat-screen TVs while surrounded by nodding generals taking notes. Internet users quickly turned these photos into a template by photoshopping video games, internet memes, or ridiculous news headlines onto the screens. It is widely used to mock intense focus on trivial things or to create surreal scenarios where the leader appears to be engaging with modern Western pop culture and global digital trends.
