N.K. leader wearing white uniform reminiscent of grandfather North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (L), wearing the white uniform of a marshal, appears at a military parade at Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang on April 25, 2022, to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army, in this photo released the next day by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.
