#2  Bizarre rumors persist in Japanese and South Korean media about a hormonal-imbalance condition that leaves Jong-chol with an excess of female hormones. These odd, unsubstantiated reports command a certain following, or at least acknowledgement, within the Southern establishment. Lee Kyo-duk, director of planning and coordination at KINU, has called Jong-chol's condition a "fatal disease" and "allegedly incurable".

What in the hell does that mean, exactly?

#1  I still have a lapel pin of the "great leader" given to me by some NoKo officials (University days, many years ago).

Two things I remember about them:
(1) They drank like fish. I was impressed at how much liquor they could imbibe.
(2) They wore lapel pins.

Only after they left did I realize that particular pins signify rank.
