Kim Jong Eun Succession Document Unveiled

Shenyang, China — The Daily NK has confirmed that documents to be used for education regarding Kim Jong Eun’s succession have been produced, and that education projects targeting cadres of the Party, military and cabinet began to be implemented in January this year.

The Daily NK has acquired the document, entitled, “The Youth Captain, Comrade Kim Jong Eun is a Mt. Baekdu style of captain who bears the perfect dignity and qualifications of the great men in history and carries on the ideology and leadership of the Great General.”

It indicates five of Kim Jong Eun’s key abilities: being loyal to the Su-Ryeong (Kim Il Sung); being the embodiment of the Su-Ryeong’s appearance and ideology; being a talented military man equipped with extraordinary dignity and ability; being modest and people-friendly; and having a wide knowledge of the Juche Ideology and all other fields of human endeavor.

The source said, “Since January, the Central Committee of the Party, the People’s Army and Cabinet have been educating their officials with this document, and in March the education started for the cadres of general enterprises and universities.”

All the sentences in the document start with the words, “The Youth Captain, Comrade Kim Jong Eun…” This document emphasizes that Kim Jong Eun has inherited the ideological presence and qualifications needed by a leader from the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung.

In the first paragraph, it says, “The Youth Captain, Comrade Kim Jong Eun is a good model of loyalty, one who displays the highest level of loyalty to the Great General,” and, “He is the one who faithfully carries forward the achievements of the Military-first revolution, which the General (Kim Jong Il) has enhanced.”

The second paragraph adds, “The Youth Captain, Comrade Kim Jong Eun is a great figure who presents the ideology and appearance of the Great Leader and the Dear Leader.” It also explains, “He is a master of ideology and theory who has inherited the General’s nature.”

The third paragraph is about his military ability, saying, “The Youth Captain, Comrade Kim Jong Eun is a remarkably talented person who bears all the ability of a great general, which the Great Leader also bore,” and adding that he harbors military genius and leadership qualities as well.

The fourth paragraph proclaims Kim Jong Eun’s human qualities, “which are eternally moderate,” saying he is “one who takes care of the people’s lives with a warm heart and love.”

The fifth paragraph is all about how he is “well-versed in the Juche Ideology, military science, Juche politics and economics, Juche literature and arts,” and has “a wide knowledge of all other fields like world politics, economics, the military and culture.”

The source who supplied the document to The Daily NK explained the next step, “When they finish the education project for cadres, propaganda for citizens will start. It will probably take more time to unveil Kim Jong Eun himself, though, because the official process to install him as successor has not yet been completed.

An anonymous official in South Korean intelligence has confirmed that this document is the same as one which was distributed to North Korean overseas officials some months ago.
