Kim Jong-un runs his country tighter than a Navy SEALs training camp, and going one step out of line would just be enough to merit an execution.

Reports from South Korea indicates a top education official in the Northern government has been executed, after reportedly exhibiting a bad sitting posture during a meeting with the President.
Kim Yong Jin, a vice premier for education, apparently didn’t sit well enough during the meeting, making him look asleep. He was then accused of being an “anti-party, anti-revolutionary agitator” and executed by a firing squad.
Two other high ranking officials were also disciplined by being reassigned to go through “reeducation programs” – a pseudonym for a trip at a brutal labour camp.
