North Korean Supreme Leader Cries As He Begs Women In To Have More Babies

North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un tearfully pleaded with his insular nation’s women to have more children to offset declining birth rates.

Flanked by other uniformed leaders, Kim said boosting the population would help to strengthen the country as audience members cried in emotional solidarity.

“Stopping the decline in birth rates and providing good childcare and education are all our family affairs that we should solve together with our mothers,” Kim said in his speech.

According to South Korea’s government statistics agency, the average North Korean woman was expected to have 1.79 kids in 2022, down from 1.88 in 2014.

While that number is far higher than in rival South Korea, where the fertility rate dipped to 0.78 in 2022, Kim asserted that North Korean women had to up their birth rate as he dabbed at his eyes with a white handkerchief.

The rapt crowd lustily applauded Kim at other points in the speech, state media images showed.

According to North Korean outlets, the country is offering special benefits for families with three or more children
