[imText1]Photos of Kim Jong Il\u2019s half-brother, Kim Pyong Il and the North Korean ambassador in Poland were recently made public. <\/p>\n
Kim Pyong Il\u2019s daughter, Eung Song and son, In Kang who have until now lived a sheltered and private life are also exposed in the photos. They are Kim Jong Il\u2019s niece and nephew. <\/p>\n
The photos were first released in March on Poland\u2019s City of Narew homepage. The photos show Kim Pyong Il, his children and city officials making visitations to industrial sites, exhibitions, museums and participating recreational activities. In reference to the photos, it seems that these events took place on February 10. <\/p>\n
Throughout the past, North Korea has maintained economic and cultural exchanges through the Korean Friendship Association with various countries in the East-European bloc. The events that took place on this day were organized by the association with North Koreans residing in Poland also participating in the occasion. <\/p>\n
The homepage showed photos of Kim Il Pyong Il visiting NARMET Pty Ltd, his son, In Kang playing a game of table tennis and daughter Eun Song playing the piano. <\/p>\n
Through the photos of Kim Pyong Il, you can see an exact resemblance of his father, though a \u201cyounger Kim Il Sung.\u201d His two children are known to have completed a Masters degree in Poland and look healthy and well in appearance.<\/p>\n
Kim Jong Il has one younger sister Kim Kyung Hee (married to Jang Sung Taek) as well as half-brothers (to different mothers) Kim Pyong Il, Kim Young Il (deceased 2000) and half-sister Kim Kyung Jin (51, married to Kim Kwang Sup, Ambassador to Austria). After being appointed as the successor in 1974, Kim Jong Il sent his brothers and sisters to work at alternative foreign departments so that they could not interfere with his power. <\/p>\n
According to elite North Korean officials, there was a time where Kim Il Sung had considered appointing his succession to his three sons, \u201cJong Il, the Party, Pyong Il, the military and the government to Young Il.\u201d However, after winning a power conflict with his uncle Kim Young Joo, Kim Jong Il ousted his uncle to Jagang province and sent his other siblings including Pyong Il to other departments where they could not come near of his power.<\/p>\n
Kim Pyong Il was born on August 10 1954 and graduated from Kim Il Sung University with a major in economics. Following, he was appointed a high rank position and after passing the Kim Il Sung National War College, began working as a battalion commander at the guards headquarters. Once it was confirmed that Kim Jong Il would succeed his father, Kim Pyong Il left Pyongyang in 1979 to work at the North Korean Embassy in Yugoslavia. Around the same time, Kim Kyung Jin left with her husband for Czechoslovakia and Kim Young Il to East Germany. <\/p>\n
In 1988, Kim Pyong Il was appointed Ambassador for Hungary but as soon as South Korea and Hungary developed amiable relations in December that year, he was re-appointed as the Ambassador to Bulgaria. Then in 1998, he became the official Ambassador to Poland where he has continued his services until now.<\/p>\n
Kim Pyong Il\u2019s wife is Kim Soon Geum. It is the first time that photos of their daughter Eun Song and son, In Kang have been exposed to the public. When Kim Jong Il and his first wife Kim Young Sook had their first daughter, Kim Il Sung named the child \u201cSul Song.\u201d When Kim Kyung Hee had her first daughter, she was named \u201cGeum Song.\u201d Similarly, it seems that Kim Il Sung named Kim Pyong Il\u2019s first daughter, \u201cEun Song.\u201d Kim Kyung Hee\u2019s first daughter Jang Geum Song was known to have committed suicide last year in France as her parents opposed a marital proposal. <\/p>\n
Of North Korea\u2019s central committee under the Workers\u2019 Party, the office 10 is known for regulating, controlling and being responsible for Kim Jong Il\u2019s half-siblings.<\/p>\n
