Removal of Kim Jong Il Portraits in North Korea Causes Speculation The first clue that Kim Jong Il was experiencing something of a public makeover came when scores of his iconic portraits began disappearing from public walls in the North Korean capital in recent months. Kim's father, North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, has been accorded god-like status in the country, and is always referred to as the "Great Leader." When Kim Il Sung died in 1994 and his son, Kim Jong Il, became heir apparent, the younger Kim was given the title "Dear Leader."

TIMEasia.com: News -- The Supremo in His Labyrinth Kim became furious if he wasn't the center of attention: he got upset if he saw people shaking hands while he was in the room, scolding them for ignoring him. Kim's real partying took place at one of his two residences in Pyongyang, where he could drink, act the big shot and get close to pretty girls.

Salon Directory Kim Jong Il likes Daffy Duck and fast cars, and before he became North Korea's dictator he wanted to be a film producer. But according to Oh, until Americans understand his brand of North Korean realpolitik, Kim Jong Il has got the U.S. right where he wants it -- confused and unable to act.

Kim Chol's father worked as a novelist at the steel mill in Chongjin, where he was required, under the supervision of a section of the Department of Propaganda and Agitation, to spend his days producing volume after volume of stories about the lives of factory workers. www.guardian.co.uk /korea/article/0,2763,1077559,00.html   (4078 words)

CNN.com - Kim Jong Il: Playing a poor hand skillfully - Aug. 21, 2003 Kim Il Sung's unique style of Stalinism, suffused with the Korean "juche" philosophy (roughly translated as "self reliance"), was subordinated to the more militant theme of Kim Jong Il's "Red Banner" policy, introduced in 1996. Kim Jong Il's younger brother drowned as a child and his mother died when he was seven years old.

Korea, Democratic People's Republic of Kim Jong Il has stated that ideological education must take precedence over academic education in the nation's schools, and he also called for the intensification of mandatory ideological study and discussion sessions for adult workers.

Reason: Dear Playwright: Team America is not Kim Jong Il’s first foray into musical drama. The quickest route to great acting, Kim Jong Il writes, is sheer party loyalty. In the 1970s, Kim Il Sung put his playboy son in charge of North Korean culture, sort of an apprenticeship before taking charge of the entire society.

Where is Kim Jong Il Well, in part because the mystery that always surrounded Kim intrigued me, and I can't pass up a challenge to unravel a puzzle like North Korea's leader (Note I didn't say "president," as his dead dad, Kim Il Sung, is president in perpetuity). I will also add later some biographical material on Kim, as well as some of the more wild rumors about his lifestyle that were once ubiquitous, but quickly went the way of the dodo after the 2000 inter-Korean summit. Another reason to track Kim is to see what the priorities are in North Korea-- If Kim spends most of his time looking at catfish farms, then there is a good chance that there are some serious discussions on food going on in Pyongyang. www.geocities.com /yi_sun_shin_adm/KJITrack.html   (363 words)

On North Korea, Bush bargains badly. By Fred Kaplan Kim Jong-il's actions were irresponsible and ill-calculated, but much evidence indicates he meant them as a bargaining chip. (In 1993, his father, Kim Il-Sung, had made similar moves, triggering the crisis that was resolved with the Agreed Framework.) Still, if Bush was unwilling to bargain, Kim Jong-il would simply go ahead with his nuclear project, gaining leverage in the process—to say nothing of hard currency, selling the stuff on the global black market. Kim may take it still; his closest allies, the Chinese, are urging him to. www.slate.com /id/2102963   (1304 words)
