Shukan Gendai drew an attention last year by disclosing for the first time the picture of Kim Jong-il's new wife Kim Ok.

His wife's name is Kim Ok?

Just Ok huh?

Surprising that they haven’t made any historical claims on the land yet!

[Zeon Cowboy]

Damn, so close...

[Ditter]

I know a Korean woman named Ok, it is pronounced oak.

[Mr Inviso]

how about we send him a get-well-soon gift of some eggs, butter, cheese and a truckload of cigarettes?

[mimaw]

With any luck they’ll go at the same time. Soon God willing.

Sounds just like rumors at this point, no independent confirmation, and he did appear 4 June at a “duck-rearing” farm, of all places. However, it is true that his health is nothing to write home about.

If that's true, the story will come out soon enough.

How can a god suffer a heart attack? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-il Kim Jong-il's official biography states that he was born atop Baekdu Mountain (백두산) at 6 o'clock in the morning in northern Korea on February 16, 1942. The official biography also holds that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over the mountain and a new star in the heavens
