North Korea has announced the death of Kim Ki-nam, a former regime propaganda chief who played a key role in creating the cult of personality surrounding the Kim dynasty. In official media images, current leader Kim Jong Un is seen bowing before Kim Ki Nam’s coffin, paying his respects to the deceased veteran of the Party and revolution. According to KCNA news agency, Kim Ki Nam passed away on Tuesday at age 94 due to advanced age and multiple organ dysfunction.
Kim Ki Nam was known for running Pyongyang’s propaganda department for decades and helped establish the cult of personality around the Kim dynasty that still exists today. He was described by North Korean state media as a prestigious theoretician and a prominent political activist. In recent years, his duties as Pyongyang’s chief propagandist were taken over by Kim Yo Jong, who remains an influential figure in the regime.
The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea with an iron fist for three generations and has been compared to Nazi Germany’s propaganda chief Goebbels in terms of its propaganda strategies. While many of its leaders have passed away over time, their legacy continues to shape the country’s political landscape and culture.
In addition to news of Kim Ki-nam’s death, this article also covers a range of other topics including profiles of photographers and astronomers, discussions of online gambling and gaming, and more. The variety of topics reflects the vast array of information available in today’s digital age.
Overall, while Kim Ki-nam may be gone physically, his influence on North Korea’s propaganda efforts will likely continue to be felt for years to come.
