Military decorations are considered the most prestigious awards in North Korea, with various honors designed to showcase the regime's ideals and maintain morale during tough times. The most notable of these awards is the Order of Kim Il-sung, introduced in 1972, which is conferred upon those who have exceptionally pleased North Korean leadership. This honor is primarily reserved for members of the Kim regime's inner circle. Surprisingly, many holders of this prestigious medal have received it multiple times.
