What exactly is Juche? How does it differ? (lemmygrad.ml)

How exactly does Juche differ from other Marxist branches? What are the differences? Do Koreans in the DPRK really see the Kim family as "gods" like western documentaries tell? And can someone explain the laying down the flowers in front of the statue thing? I dont really understand it and want to learn about it. Also I learned that the DPRK was way richer than the south in the 70s, but why are people making fun of the nation now because it is alledgedly poorer and had a hunger crisis? I find it disturbing tbh to make fun of people starving.

What I concluded myself is that it has something to do with the war they are still in that has only a truce but never really ended.
