Fun fact: Those dudes actually have probably less medals than most western officers in same ranks, just the uniform regulations in DPRK require wearing all medals in their full form instead of ribbons while in dress uniforms.

They can wear their parents and grandparents medals. Most of these were probably won during the Korean war.
