To me it's the fact they all look like children trying to feel like big boys in their dad's too-large clothes (which is fitting (pun intended) since at least those medals are inherited, not for things they themselves have done)
There's a culture of being expected to wear any medals your father or grandfather earned. When you think about the kind of basic medals even western militaries give out, such as good conduct, long service, etc, three generations of those adds up quickly.
The DPRK also just really loves medals. It's not just limited to the military, they have medals for distinguished service as a factory worker or construction worker. They will even give long service medals to inanimate objects like industrial machinery.
I'm going to give my Gameboy Advance SP a medal for resilience.
List of highest-grossing kids' movies at the DPRK Box Office (and personal favorites of the Supreme Leader):
But seriously, giving medals to inanimate objects is kinda cute.
We give out medals like that in the US too though. Maybe we do plaques more, but we used to put years in service stickers on some of our longest/best running machines for fun. I think people universally just like to be acknowledged, and to have an excuse for a party.
Couple more generations they'll have a dress made of medals
