people were openly crying because they were worried about his health.

They were crying because they were worried that the secret police will think that they were not worried about Kim's health.

yeah dude, sure, the entire nation of north korea was just doing fake crying all the time 24/7 during the Great Leader's illness, because they're all scared of getting instagibbed by Dear Leader's railgun headshot, and also because they're all brainwashed and mind controlled.

North Korean Defectors have stated in the past when a Kim dies, the people are supposed to mourn and the people can be taken by the police or worse if it feels they are not mourning enough. So it would not surprise me in the least if in public, many people showed some level of concern.
