By Here is some more news on Kim Jong-il’s grandson who apparently feels bad this his people are starving:
Kim Han-sol, the teenage grandson of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, posted messages on the video-sharing website YouTube three years ago expressing his sympathy for the starving people in his country.
One message, which he wrote in response to comments under a video clip of the North Korean national anthem, said, “Actually i eat like an average person, i can’t eat even if i had good food, cuz like i feel sorry for my ppl.”
Using the ID “kimhs616,” which is believed to be his, he also wrote he was a North Korean living in Macau and visits North Korea via China every August. “I know my people are hungry,” he wrote in another comment on the thread. “I’d do anything to help them.”
In response to a question, he identifies himself as being “related” to the regime but declines to say more. He later adds in capital letters, “LONG LIVE DPRK,” short for Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. [Chosun Ilbo]
You can read more at the link. I guess we will see what his waist line is like in a few years to see how sympathetic he is about starving North Koreans.

As I was saying in another thread, take all of this with a grain of salt. Don’t forget, someone has also found comments he’s left online in which he spews anti-American pro-North Korean ideology.

He’s also obese by North Korean standards.

Is that a crucifix hanging from his neck?

No. I’m pretty sure that’s a Chinese symbol.

if it is a crucifix, I’m sure he wears it like so many…. with no meaning and only as a piece of art jewelry.

If it is, maybe it’s meant as an ironic statement…Better yet, maybe he’s rebelling.

He is not a Christian, but he is a believer of God and questioner of religion. His political beliefs will fit right in with your American college aged liberals.

Well, don’t all those North Korean Kims think they are gods?

But spewing “anti-American pro-North Korean ideology” doesn’t have to mean he wants his people to starve. He can still be xenophobic and patriotic but know that things (e.g. food) need to change in his home country.

You’re confusing patriotism with nationalism. He’s a nationalist who claims to be a patriot.
