(2nd LD) S. Korean man says purported photo of N. Korean successor his own
By Sam Kim
SEOUL, June 10 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean man said Wednesday the photo of a man a Japanese television station claims to be that of the successor to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is, in fact, his own.
The photo, shown by Japan's Asahi TV earlier Wednesday, shows a young man wearing sunglasses and a white T-shirt. The report said the photo, which it says it obtained exclusively, is of Kim's third son, Jong-un, who is apparently preparing to take over the communist regime.
However, a 40-year-old South Korean man, Bae Seok-bum, told Yonhap by phone the picture is his own. It was posted on an Internet community he runs on shamanism in February this year so Bae could show the facial similarities between himself and Kim Jong-il.

Asahi TV was taken for a ride. A great way to make a quick buck or to discredit a potentially hostile media outlet.
