As the Middle East conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran dominated global headlines, social media has unexpectedly found comic relief in an unlikely figure, North Korea's Kim Jong Un.
Across platforms like X and Instagram, the leader has become the subject of viral memes portraying him as a curious bystander watching the escalating crisis from afar.
One popular meme showed him looking happy when a missile supposedly landed in North Korea by accident, captioned, “Kim Jong Un when one missile mistakenly lands in North Korea.”
Another showed him asking his sub-ordinates to “refresh” a screen to see if missiles were headed in their direction.
The humour largely plays on the contrast between Kim’s reputation for frequent weapons tests and his absence from the current geopolitical showdown.
North Korea has conducted dozens of missile launches in recent years, often grabbing global attention.
With the spotlight now firmly on the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States, internet users jokingly suggested that Kim might be experiencing “FOMO”, fear of missing out, despite having what some memes described as the “best toys for war.”
