| Kim Jong-un Now Simply Known as 'General' | |
| 2011-10-27 | |
North Korea's state-controlled media on Tuesday unanimously started referring to leader Kim Jong-il's son and heir Jong-un as "general."
The state media had previously used his unwieldy official title -- vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers Party. He was appointed as the official heir to the North Korean throne at a party meeting in September last year. The simplification to "general" suggests that his status is gradually becoming more secure. | |

| #5 The guy gives me the creeps - he has those cold, emotionless eyes and expression. The kind of person who would enjoy watching legs being ripped of people (having ripped of a few from bugs, small and large animals himself). Who probably has a 'trophy cabinet' somewhere of all his victims. No emotion, no compassion, no feeling whatsoever. Creepy. I don't even want to know about his personal entertainments and habits. Feel pity for the North Korean people when he takes power from Daddy. |
