Kim Jong-un is following more closely in the footsteps of his father and grandfather with the unveiling of his first official portrait.
The unveiling took place at Pyongyang International Airport on Sunday (local time).
Revealed next to a portrait of Cuban President Migueel Diaz-Canel, the Kim likeness is smiling, wearing a formal suit and tie.
Experts suggest the portrait marks a significant change in the dictator's leadership towards that of his predecessors, according to The Evening Standard.
His ancestors' portraits are a staple piece of propaganda in North Korea.
