Kim Dae-jung's Widow, Hyundai Chief Return from N. Korea
2011-12-28
Former president Kim Dae-jung's widow Lee Hee-ho and Hyundai Group chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun were tight-lipped on return to Seoul on Tuesday after paying their respects to the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. On Monday they met the new leader Sonny Boy Kim Jong-un, who looked "just like in the pictures," according to Hyun.

They would not otherwise be drawn. In a press release read by Yoon Chul-koo, the secretary general of the Kim Dae-jung Peace Center, Lee said, "It was purely a condolence visit."

Footage on North Korean state TV showed Pudgy Kim in a dark Mao suit, weeping as he stood at his father's body at the Kumsusan palace on Monday.

A two-minute-2-second segment showed Lee and Hyun paying their respects to Kim senior. The official Rodong Sinmun daily carried a report of their visit on the front page.

A member of the South Korean delegation said Fat Boy Kim Jong-un "seemed composed" when he met Lee and Hyun. His eyes did not look red from weeping and he received mourners calmly. He looked "rather young for his age," he added. But while the successor looks distinctly chubby on TV, in real life he looks “well built,” the delegation member added.
"Does this dark Mao suit make me look fat?"

No, honey, the Mao suit has nothing to do with it.
