Because he's not the president of North Korea, he's the head of the Communist Party, the North Korean Workers' Party and he's the head of the Army. He's not head of the state.

“The more I move among workers and factories and other plants, the stronger I become convinced that it is advisable to have as [a company] president a practical man, preferably one who has risen from the very bottom of the ladder. Workmen, I find, have far more respect for such men than for collar-and-cuff executives knowing little or nothing about the different kinds of work which have to be done by the workers. Wherever circumstances call for placing a financier or lawyer or a papa's son at the head of a large organization, he should be made chairman or some other title, but not president.” MenShouldKindLittlesMadeDifferentDoneMovingPresidentCompanyKnowingSonCircumstancesOrganizationStrongerPlantWorkersBottomConvincedLawyerPracticalsTitlesExecutivesFactoriesDifferent KindsLaddersChairmanRisenCollarsPapaWorkmenCuffsFinanciersAdvisable Author:B.
