The Chosun Ilbo has the details of a trip to a Pyongyang supermarket that became his last public event:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il made his last public appearance at the country’s first supermarket in Pyongyang last Thursday. The North’s official Korean Central News Agency illustrated the visit on Saturday with several photos while apparently trying to decide the appropriate time to announce his death.

Kim’s final so-called on-the-spot guidance tour was to the Kwangbok street shopping center, where he was accompanied by Jon Il-chun, a high school classmate and chief of a special department in the Workers Party codenamed Room 39 that manages Kim’s private coffers.

A South Korean security official said Jon’s presence during the visit suggests the profits from the supermarket were to go straight into Kim’s private coffers.  [Chosun Ilbo]
