Recent Commnent on Recent Executions

"Kim Jung Un is a two-faced leader executing anyone he dislikes"

On April 29th, South Korea's National Intelligence Service revealed that 15 high ranking officials in North Korea were recently executed. In reaction to such public executions, ordinary citizens generally view Kim Jung Un as a two-faced leader who outwardly expresses "love for the people” and unhesitatingly executes anyone he dislikes.

A source from North Pyongan Province reported that the news of the secret executions had been widely spread by word of mouth. Moreover, "Chosun Central TV [KCTV] released a video of Kim hugging and smiling at an orphan, portraying a figure who is warm and paternal; in reality, however, he's a ruthless dictator who orders public executions as frequently as a person eats a meal.”

She explained that Kim Jung Un's consistent imitation of Kim Il Sung, at first mainly demonstrated by his hairstyle and clothing choices, has escalated into full-blown emulation of the latter’s political style. Whereas Kim Jong Il’s inhumane and icy personality was obvious and unconcealed, "Kim Jung Un has a smile on his face and a sword in his hand--just like Kim Il Sung," she asserted.

A North Korean trader based in Dandong, China, who had similar comments to offer regarding the public executions of the Eunhasu Orchestra members. “The members’ death is very similar to that of actress Woo In Hee, who was publicly executed in front of hundreds of fellow entertainers and Party members in the 1970s. Kim Jung Un seems to have genetically inherited the tactic of executing enemies under fabricated criminal charges in order to solidify his power," he said.

This source added that as a result, North Korean traders and workers in China are taking more precautions after Kim Jong Un came into power. "The higher-ups in NK ordered the supervisors to put the workers--tasked with procuring foreign currency-- outside North Korea under greater scrutiny; now, because of this, many workers are toiling much harder than before," he concluded.
