N.Koreans 'in the Dark' About Succession
 An artwork is displayed at the Art Exhibition of Class Education at the Pyongyang International Culture Hall in Pyongyang on Wednesday. The Korean characters (left) read, "When we say we will do it, we will do it" (top), "The United States" (center) and "We do not make idle promises!" (bottom). /Reuters-KCNA |
North Koreans are apparently unaware that Kim Jong-il has chosen his youngest son Jong-un as his successor, and few North Koreans know who Kim Jong-un is.
A North Korean official who recently returned from China told the Chosun Ilbo, "In China I found people talk a lot about Kim Jong-un as if he has been chosen as the successor, but there's been no formal announcement on this in North Korea." Neither a photo nor any even rudimentary information about Kim Jong-un's career have been disclosed, he said, adding media reports of the succession seem "incredible."
Kim's family, his children in particular, are shrouded in secrecy to the point where taking an interest in them is regarded as a crime. Only the name of Kim Jong-nam, Kim's eldest son, is well known among senior party and government officials in Pyongyang.

Ping!
In that poster, the soldier should be the color blue, not red. Didn’t they get the news? Here in the US, the colors were switched by the media a few years ago. N. Korea should switch to this now defacto color standard.
TLR: Do you know how common it is for NorK propaganda to use phrases such as “We do not make idle promises” and “When we say we will do it, we will do it”?
Also interesting, the poster sez “mi che” for America (Imperialist America), rather than “mi guk” (America).....
correctiong to previous...does in fact say “mi guk”. ;-)
