North Korea's Leader is doing just fine, according to this picture released by the PDRK


By Soch Mel

North Korea released a picture of Kim Jong Il to break up the rumors that their leader is gravely ill. This picture was broadcast on their state televison on Sunday. Kim appears to be in some sort of VIP box while watching a soccer game. The broadcast made no mention of when the photo was taken or any other information to elaborate.

Kim has not been seen in public since August 14th. This broadcast came after one week when the North Korean News Agency KCNA show a clip of their great leader visiting the match between two army teams. No photos of the games were shown but the narrator said the female soldiers' "hearts were pounding" because of his presence.

Here's a link to an article about Kim visiting military faculty. This is another one of the rare images the North Koreans had of their leader!

What's is fascinating about this is that this appears to be some good politic propaganda which any totalitarian state would have. Is he really well, I don't really know because their media is slanted in favor of their leader.
