Kim Ok, who majored in piano at the North's prestigious Pyongyang University of Music and Dance, had served as the leader's private secretary since the early 1980s, another South Korean government source said.
"She is a cute woman rather than a beauty" like the leader's previous wives or live-in women, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "I heard she is very wise and clever."
It is no secret that Kim Jong-il has engaged in romantic affairs with numerous women, mostly actresses, singers and dancers. But sources versed in North Korean affairs said Kim only married or lived a long time with three women.
Is that anything like Bill Clinton's "Department of Bimbo Eruptions"??
Cheers!
