The great and glorious NK public lend their great and glorious support to whomever they are ordered to, AFAIK.

But also somehow satisfying, if only he would melt faster, and leave nothing but puddle on the floor with his toupee floating on top.

Kim Jong Il wasn’t just a cinephile, he kidnapped talent from other countries to try to jumpstart NK’s film industry.

30% of $211 Million.
And there is still enough time to siphon off that (plus change) from one of the corona relief packages. Or pass on the hot potato.
Or, come to think about it, both.

Korean women have been plenty badass as rulers. I can’t think of a name right now but I remember the story. Seriously ancient history though.

Nothing NK claims, on any given subject, is free of bullshit, ever.
It is the product of a well-tuned, experienced propaganda machine. Even if they state something that would be an objective, verifiable fact, they will find a way to at least imply that this is the Beloved Leader’s doing. “Beloved Leader makes sun go up on schedule”, something along those lines.
The tricky part is always to find out just how much bullshit it is, and what kind of bullshit. But it’s never zero.

It’s actually not a bad film! And frankly, I really doubt the kidnapping story. The director was not doing well in South Korea and thought he would do better in the North. It just turned out that he found that working in a totalitarian regime wasn’t that great in practice. So implying that he was kidnapped rather than went voluntarily was a better look.
Wouldn’t it be something for North Korea to get a female supreme leader before the US gets a female president?

As crazy as things are getting, there’s a real possibility that Dennis Rodman is the next supreme leader.

It was either a kidnapping or a staged kidnapping. He didn’t decide afterwards to claim that he had been kidnapped.

They on become Romero zombies if they don’t get brains. If they get brains, they can pass as normal people, but they take on the attributes of the people whose brains they ate.

Schrodinger’s Dictator. Until North Korea opens up, Kim is simultaneously alive and dead.

The Mongol empire was ruled by a woman just one generation after Ghengis Khan.
Edit: Admittedly, she became empress because her husband drank himself to death, but still.
