North Korean leader marks party foundation day with concert, mausoleum visit

Kim Jong Un oversaw relatively low-key celebrations in Pyongyang yesterday, state media reports

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday paid tribute to his father and grandfather at Pyongyang's Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and attended an art performance, state media reported, in a series of visits to mark the 74th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

In his second public appearance this month, the North Korean leader was reported to have "paid homage" to the country's late former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il -- a regular tradition on major public holidays in the DPRK.
