DPR Korea’s Workers’ Party makes military commissions
As reported widely, a rare general assembly of the Workers’ Party of Korea 朝鲜劳动党 조선로동당 met in Pyongyang and officially commissioned a number of key figures for leadership in the Korean People’s Army 朝鲜人民军 조선인민군. This includes, among others, is Kim Jong Eun 金正银 김정은, the son of the present leader Kim Jong Il 金正日 김정일.
It appears that the Chinese media have settled on the name of the son. In the past there have been at least two variations to his name — Kim Jong Un 金正云 김정운 or Kim Jong Eun 金正恩 김정은, but now it seems that the DPRK government uses Kim Jong Eun (Gim Jeong Eun) 金正银 김정은 (Eun as in silver).
Another newly appointed general, Kim Kyong Hee (Gim Gyeong Heui) 金敬姬 김경희 is a sister of the leader Kim Jong Il.
