Kim Jong-Il born feb16- 1941 There is no official information available about Kim Jong-il's marital history, but he is believed to have been officially married once and to have had three mistresses:
•Kim married his wife, Kim Young-suk, after being forced by his father to marry the daughter of a senior military official — the two have been estranged for some years. Kim has a daughter from this marriage, Kim Sul-song (born 1974).[77]
•Kim's first mistress, Song Hye-rim, was not officially recognized and after years of estrangement she is believed to have died in Moscow in the Central Clinical Hospital in 2002. They had one son, Kim Jong-nam (born 1971) who is Kim Jong-il's eldest son.
•His second mistress, Ko Young-hee, had taken over the role of First Lady until her death — reportedly of cancer — in 2004. They had two sons, Kim Jong-chul, in 1981, and Kim Jong-un (also "Jong Woon" or "Jong Woong"), in 1984.[77]
•Since Ko's death, Kim has been living with Kim Ok, his third mistress, who had served as his personal secretary since the 1980s.[78]
Like his father, Kim has a fear of flying, and has always traveled by private armored train for state visits to Russia and China. The BBC reported that Konstantin Pulikovsky, a Russian emissary who traveled with Kim across Russia by train, told reporters that Kim had live lobsters air-lifted to the train every day, which he ate with silver chopsticks.[79]
Britain and France declare war when Germany invaded Poland because they knew they needed to stick up for the little guy. They also knew that Germany was pushing people around and they did not have the right to do that. I think they must've seen that Germany was gaining momentum as an aggressor-especially at this point.

the strangest fact i found about Kim Jong Li is that it is said in North Korea biographies that his birth was forseen by a swallow and marked by a double rainbow and a new star. D.C
I just thinks he looks insane.
There's too many to just put one...
- He once had an idea to breed giant rabbits in order to feed the Korean population.
- He once attempted to rid the world of short people by tricking them into taking flyers that adverstised a magic drug to make them grow taller. Then he rounded up all the people with the flyers and sent them out of the country.
- He had the military blow up the school he went to as a child.
- He once kidnapped two South Korean filmakers and forced them to eat grass while making horrible movies for him.
- He injects himself with the blood of virgins in order to stay young. 0.o'

the wikapedia says that his birthday is february 16 of 1941, but his biographies state that his birthday is february 16 of 1942. E.K.-B.
Kim Jong-Il was born on 16 February 1941 in Khabarovst. The year of his birth has subsequently been changed to 1942 to make a more convenient 30-year age difference between himself and his father, and the place of his birth was altered to become a secret camp on Mt. Paektu in Samjiyon County, Ryanggang Province.
According to one North Korean account, "General Kim Jong Il is a rare great man of Baekdu type who was born at Mt.Baekdu, the sacred mountain of our nation, and made an unusual growth amidst the special revolutionary education of his parents, brilliant commanders of Baekdu, as well as the practical training of the revolutionary struggle. He personifies the revolutionary spirit, trait and nature of Mt.Baekdu. The revolutionary spirit of Mt.Baekdu personified by him is the spirit of independence associated with the soul of Baekdu. The revolutionary trait of Mt.Baekdu possessed by him is pluck and courage of Baekdu-style giant, ever-victorious sagacity of the brilliant commander of Baekdu, broad-mindedness befitting a heroic man, organizing ability of leading millions of people, indefatigable attacking spirit, strong ability of execution."
North Korean sources reported that Kim Jong Il started work at the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea on 19 June 1964, at the age of 23. The accuracy of this chronology cannot be independently confirmed, but it conveniently places the start of his party work at almost exactly 30 years prior to the death of Kim Il Sung in July 1994.
The junior Kim started out as a guidance officer in the party's cultural and propaganda departments, owing to his playful nature, and this stint was followed by creation of his own clique and involvement in personnel reshuffling in the Organization and Guidance Department.
The concentration and maintenance of political power in the hands of one man over a period of decades defines the political system in North Korea. Kim Jong Il was born into this system and is in a sense a prisoner of it himself. He cannot reform the system without undermining his own legitimacy. The only rational option for him has been to uphold the system.

He is the leader of North Korea, he makes the people refer to him as "Dear Leader". He obviously has mental problems... and is very nirotic and crazyyy!
Kim thought that he had a sucessful rocket launch and was celebrating, but he's an idiot because it was a great failure! It just went into the ocean.. and he would have known that if he woud have had a satilite that worked properly

It's creepy to think that someone in that kind of power of leading a country is as crazy as Kim. Its like he is mentally disabled. I've read that he knows he is being talked about around the world and he is happy about that.
I am talked about in the media a fair bit and I know that some talk is good and some is bad.
What kim is getting is bad. I would think so anyway.
