A former agent of the North Korea State Security Agency (SSA), Mr. Kang, defected from North Korea in mid-August. A twenty-year veteran at the SSA, he has relayed interesting information that assassination attempts against Kim Jong-un are continuing. He said that there had been a number of attempts against Kim the first and the second. What’s interesting is that Kim Jong-un is facing these attempts so early in his tenure as the leader of North Korea. According to Kang, the SSA records show that Kim Il-sung had faced nine threats, while Kim Jong-il, 14 times. In general, the attempts against Ki

Great Leader Kim Il-sung was convinced that vinylon was the revolutionary fiber material, the answer to the textile needs for all humanity. He invested upward of $10 billion and built the SoonChun vinylon factory in PyongAnNamdo in 1989 to produce this new, revolutionary material.

With fanfare on a historic scale the entire nation of North Korea joined in the opening ceremony of the century. Vinylon

North Korea often claims that it had purged all the Japanese elements and influence at all levels. At the same time, it accuses the South Korean government of maintaining the colonial system. Many South Korean politicians (Moon Jae-in among them) agree with this North Korean claim and insist that the South—like the North—should purge the remnants of the Japanese colonialism from the Korean lexicon. The question is—did North Korea really purge the Japanese influence from the get-go as they claim? Not so. Here are some examples. For starters, Kim Young-ju, Kim Il-sung’s youngest brother, was a s
