On-the-spot guidance

"On-the-spot guidance" (also "guidance tours" or "field guidance") is a term used in the North Korean mass media to describe appearances by the supreme leader, often at sites related to the military or to industry, at which the leader gives directives. "On-the-spot guidance" is a key aspect of North Korean propaganda and the personality cult of the Kim dynasty. Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un have all made use of the practice. "On-the-spot guidance" is also said to be done by Kim Il Sung's wife and mother of Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Suk.
