For one, Kim Jong Un's head sticks out, like it was photoshopped on some guy's body.

Plus there are really sharp lines around the hats on the two guys to Un's right. That sign also seems to be really well framed right in the center of the picture. hmmm....

Kim could be shown giving instructions when he wasn't there, the location of the photo may be significant, putting all the people together at that time and place may be the goal...

Kims head is the same size, he has more 'head fat'. He's taller but thats the better diet as a kid.

what I see as funny is look at everyone with pen and note paper..Kim get your people cell phones and at least a tablet!
