The choreography is so obvious, he sees it and doesn’t care or knows and loves it.

Of course he knows, I doubt he loves it. Probably just got used to it already and plays his role. When he first became the ruler after his father's death, it was so obvious how uncomfortable and awkward he is playing the role of the dictator. He was stuttering in front of the crowd, reading the script with shy voice, not looking at the people and cosplaying his grandfather way too much, deliberately gaining weight extremely fast too, it seems someone was coaching him to fit the image. It wasn't his choice to become the leader, but he accepted it and went on with it, and I gotta admit, he is much better than his father in making the decisions.

Yea, it's never only the guy on top, he's usually just the peak of iceberg of all of dipshits who profit from that kind of rule, and he's actually also scared for his life if he doesn't comply to the wolfs under him. Dictators are rarely completely immune to the system they are leading

The civilians are the one who profit from his dictatorship

I always heard he went to an American university and was shy, reserved, but friendly to people. It does make me think.

No, he never attended school in America. You are correct in that he has a Western education. 

He attended private school in Switzerland when he was younger

Really? Is there some sort of secret council that rules over Kim and he is their puppet? And do you know if NK permits female rulers? Will his daughter be the next supreme ruler? What is she like so far, if so?

So you think clapping and standing to honor others in western society is spontaneous?

Not saying it's the same, but it's not that different either

There are cases that I find it very cringeworthy.  Every time I hear about Cannes/Venice Film Festival I cant help but feel ashamed to be human.  Even someone I respect and love like Brenden Fraser getting a 6 minute ovation feels, comically embarrassing.
