Dear Comrade the Leader Episode 235
“… … !!!!”
The eyes of the executives who used to only serve dishes have now grown to the size of hospitality.
It wasn’t the first time that their supreme leader had acted beyond imagination, so I thought they were used to being surprised in this way, but even by their standards, this was a bit of a shock.
However, some of them, especially Jang Seong-taek, have already noticed something and started to look at the manuscript, ‘Kim Il-sung’s biography’, with their eyes shining.
“… … In the meantime, he died without completing this masterpiece of tax saving due to the rebellion of the Bowibu, the blasphemy reactionary. As a result of taking it over and working hard to make corrections and supplements for a long time, this biography of President Kim Il-sung has finally come to the world. Do you all understand?”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
“Good. Then I’ll give you a special order for the secretary’s office. Please print this book and distribute it widely in the Republic.”
“You’ve been taught!”
“Me, over there, but Comrade General Secretary.”
“… … ? Something, Comrade Hwang?”
When most of the people in the room realized how things were going now and were about to get up with a salute, Hwang Jang-yup, who had been sitting still slumped, asked a question.
What he was curious about was:
“… … When the hell did I write the biography of the late president? No matter how much I try to remember… … .”
“… … .”
Most of the meeting attendees who were just about to disband at his question, who couldn’t understand the atmosphere at all, looked at Hwang Jang-yeop with a tongue-in-cheek expression.
Jeonghwan gave him a quiet notice, saying that it was not a big deal to him, who was unable to say anything at the stinging gaze that poured out without a word.
“I forgot to tell you in advance. From now on, this is written by Comrade Hwang. Hit it like that.”

‘I can’t believe that my first work would be a biography of Kim Il-sung. Of course, it’s a bit bitter not to come out under my name.’
It was Jeonghwan’s idea when he saw the completed ‘Kim Il-sung’s biography’, which went into print soon and soon had a portrait of Kim Il-sung engraved on the wonderful red hardcover.
In terms of design, it was no different from the North Korean Bible, ‘Ten Principles of Establishing the Party’s One-Leading System’, etc.
Of course, the content may not have been as profound as the impact it had on North Korean society in the months following its publication.
– What? ‘President Kim Il-sung’s anti-Japanese partisan activities are worthy of respect, but there is a lot of room for clear errors in his detailed actions including the war for liberation in South Korea, especially socialist economic policies and Juche ideology?’ A certain reactionary guy dared to give such a recklessness to the deceased president… … .
-Oh, isn’t that General Kim Jong-il?
-Ki, General Kim Jong-il? Gee, gee? But why the hell would he say such a filthy thing to his Abaddy? … .
– He’s his son, so you haven’t seen a lot of things that our people haven’t seen? Comrade Hwang Jang-yeop also came to the publication commemorative party over there, and looking back now, he didn’t say that he thought it was a sin to die because there were a lot of things he did wrongly to the president during his lifetime.
-Abadi, but what kind of comrade is General Kim Jong-il? I must have heard the name at school… … .
Although it had the virtues of active cooperation and encouragement at the party level, above all else, due to the title and content that could not have been dreamed of in North Korean society before, ‘The Story of Kim Il-sung’ sold so hot that it had to be reprinted immediately before it even appeared on the market.
After reading the hard-hitting biography, some were outraged, some tilted their heads, and some were exhilarated.
And in most cases, even some angered people sank in the dust, not knowing where to direct their anger that was denied the values they believed in.
For some of them, mainly the elderly who remember the past, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il were a kind of set, like spoons and chopsticks.
My father slanders my grandfather, and no matter how much he likes him, he says, ‘No, Abaddy, why are you slandering your grandfather? Abaddy is a killer!’ It can’t be done is it?
Even if the father did this devaluation of his grandfather’s major achievements.
-My father, President Kim Il-sung, has been deified in many ways, but from the point of view of becoming his son, he was a human being with many weaknesses and errors. The mistake of human Kim Il-sung was a republic that was founded with difficulty by believing in Park Heon-young’s promise that ‘if we go down to the south, hundreds of thousands of members of the South Labor Party will rise and welcome the Workers’ Party of Korea’ as it is, and cause the war of liberation in South Korea to fix the division to the point of irreversible. It starts with the fact that it almost handed over to the US imperialists.
– Also, in the case of the Juche ideology, which is praised as his representative achievement, he was temporarily blinded by his trust in Comrade Hwang Jang-yeop, who initially founded the theory, and set the Juche ideology as the guiding ideology of the Republic. As a commentator with .
Of course, not all of the people believed in ‘Kim Jong-il, the Republic’s greatest thinker and tax-saving scholar’.
However, even if the lead author is Kim Jong-il, co-author Hwang Jang-yeop is definitely the best theorist of the party and the incumbent President Kim Dae, even if something is questionable.
And in line with the publication of the book, co-author Hwang Jang-yup also admitted that there were errors in the Juche idea he had created in front of the public and even held a self-criticism, giving strength to the content of the biography that made Kim Il-sung a human being.
-I, Hwang Jang-yeop, president of the Supreme People’s Assembly and President Kim Dae, as a theorist, made the mistake of believing only his own recovery and cleverness, and for this reason, he made the mistake of assisting the president’s comrade. it’s bar self-criticism
Of course, those who sensed the party’s discomfort with the recent trend, the context of events taking place in the republic, and the return of the Juche idea, noticed that the intention of the current supreme dignity of the republic lies behind the sudden publication of this biography. Most of them had nothing they could do.
And among them were, of course, the officers of the Patriotic Front who tried to start selling the body of Kim Il-sung, the protagonist of this very biography.
-Comrades, this biography is… … .
-Girae, the party is probably sending us a warning. Damn it, what should I do now?
While they were bewildered about the blitz that poured cold water on their ‘business’ growth, it was the special envoy of one of the Republic’s top executives, Jang Seong-taek, who came to the office of the Patriotic Front.
To summarize the envoy’s purpose, which went straight to the point, ‘good things are good, so if we surrender at this point, we are willing to accept conditional surrender’.
“Hey, I see a comrade who served as a lieutenant general with seven seniors (colonel), six pedestals (colonels), and three lieutenants. It’s broad daylight and there are so many stars that my eyes are almost blind. The army, the navy, and the air force are diverse.”
“… … Kim Il-sung’s biography, is there clearly a teaching from Comrade General Secretary behind these actions of the party? We would like to meet and speak with the highest dignity. So, Comrade Jang, please… … .”
“You still have a lot of misconceptions about your situation. Did you really think that the general secretary comrade would show up directly to the comrades? I only told the comrades who did this kind of reckless work without dying quietly after being discharged that the general secretary was very disappointed.”
It was an outright ridicule of Jang Seong-taek, who secretly called the officers of the Patriotic Front to the company and conveyed Jung-hwan’s intentions on his behalf.
Jang Seong-taek snorted inwardly as he saw the leaders of the Patriotic Front who came out wearing their military uniforms while on active duty, as if they were fighting a final battle with the US imperialists.
It’s kind of boring to say that the military officers who were pushed into the back room without knowing the world is changing are selling off the face of the president they once served.
Gone are the days when the military now stands above the party and cabinet.
The same was true of Hong Gye-seong, a former general of the People’s Army, who was sitting right next to him right now, standing upright and looking at him with uncomfortable eyes.
It is now a thing of the past that he once had a power struggle with him, and Baek Seung-cheol, who succeeded him, clearly maintained the military posture of bowing his head to the leadership of the party.
Although it was slow, the era of them, party cadres like Jang Song-thaek, bureaucrats, businessmen, and donjus had finally opened.
“Comrade General Secretary told us to deal with this matter as soon as possible, so let’s get right to the point. I will take care of the food and living issues so that you will not be disappointed, so please stop and come under the wings of the party.”
“… … !!! Oh, what kind of lightning strike is that? We are simply out of loyalty to the deceased President… … .”
“Twitter, do you want to get a higher ransom? Comrades, think about it. There are many elderly people who still remember the days of President Kim Il-sung. Now, the comrades were able to make a living by doing good business. But how long do you think it will last? 10 years? 20 years?”
“… … .”
“They know it best, but the younger generation who were born in their 20s and 80s now have no idea whether President Kim Il-sung was active in the anti-Japanese partisan activities or in Mt. Baekdu. When 10 years pass and they become the mainstream of society in this republic, the business of the comrades will gradually draw a downward curve. Because the expiry date of the main product has passed.”
At Jang Seong-taek’s naked words, the officers of the Patriotic Front blushed and chewed their lips as if there were no words to express, but they had nothing to say.

No matter how or how they separated the Juche ideology by claiming unconditional adherence to President Kim Il-sung in the first place, it is ideological self-sufficiency to touch the heart of the current general secretary, the orthodox successor, from any aspect of President Kim Il-sung’s political and biological ties. Beyond that, it’s just suicide.Even now, it is a bit inconvenient to oppress them openly, who say they are following their father, Kim Il-sung, so they leave it alone. It was clear that he was going to give the order.
It was a fundamental limitation of their subject system, which had nostalgia like the labor world and no ideals or beliefs like the movement world, but a nostalgia for the past and the idea of cultivating individuals to make a living.
Jang Seong-taek’s words, like the publication of this biography, can be taken care of if you try to take care of them, but it was clear that they should figure out the topic and surrender before such an unfortunate incident occurs.
“… … In that case, wouldn’t it be better to get a job with a higher job security? There would be little difference in what you do anyway, but it would be wiser to hold the hand that the general secretary is offering now. As you may have seen this time, the current general secretary is the type of person who, when he meets a Buddha on his way, kills the Buddha, and when he meets the deceased president, he kills the president. Comrades, didn’t you hit me like a fly?”
“… … What role could we play in the future party and republic?”
“It’s not difficult. Like I said before, I’m doing the same thing as now. Only the direction is slightly changed. Detailed instructions will be provided by Comrade Hong, who will serve as a liaison with the party in the future. Comrades, you are the comrade who will serve as the honorary president of the front line in the future.”
At Jang Seong-taek’s glance, Hong Gye-seong merely shook his head to answer and did not hide his uncomfortable expression, but the faces of the officers of the Patriotic Front were full of hope on the contrary.
Although he resigned after handing over the real power to Baek Seung-cheol because of old age and illness, he is still an elder who once led the Frunze faction, the largest faction in the People’s Army.
In addition (even though it was officially a secret, they knew everything they had heard of), and it was clear that they would have a lot to lose if such a person took on the face of the Patriotic Front, since he was a national hero who played a huge role in the current general secretary’s reign.
“ah! How are you? To see that a famous person like Comrade Hong Cha-su is leading our Patriotic Front, you have been able to guess the expectations that the Party and the supreme dignity have of us. So, what specifically are you going to do?”
“The Party and the Ministry of Public Security are going to have to step in on their own. As I said before, there is absolutely no need to change the course of the comrades. After all, my comrades didn’t get along well with the labor circles and the kids from the sports circles, so I guess there is no other person like him.”

“Overthrow the one-party dictatorship! People’s Democracy! Dirty capitalists and party executives who are close with money lords, wake up! Is this country the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea? … huh? Awkward!”
“wage increase! Reduction of non-regular workers! Don’t give jobs to Koreans! The jobs of the Republic must be returned to the people of the Republic… … Aww!”
“charge! Catch all the recoils! Show those dissidents the power of our Patriotic Front warriors!”
A few days later, another protester joined the university street, which was always noisy due to demonstrations by the Hakchongryon and the labor union.
In fact, rather than a protest, it was closer to unilaterally assaulting the other two forces protesting next to them. .
However, unlike the labor community, which has a lot of numbers and is trained by labor, the sports community that only rolled the pens at school was almost unilaterally assaulted by them. didn’t have this
And when a foreign correspondent who was covering this upheaval approached a member of the Patriotic Front with a red belt around his head and wielding a wooden wooden beam and asked, ‘Are you going to suppress the protesters under the direction of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the North Korea government?’ Denied, he replied:
“Our Patriotic Front is, to the last, a gathering of people who support and subsidize the party lines and policies established by the great Comrade Kim Il-sung ‘voluntarily’, in your own words, an NGO or a civic organization! Our actions have nothing to do with the party or the government, so please write an article properly!”
Although it was suspicious, foreign reporters who do not know the details of the complex political dynamics of North Korea in recent years had to convince them that the division within the anti-government organization within North Korea had spread to violence.
Considering the contents of the recently published biography of Kim Il-sung and the active recommendation and distribution of the book by the party, it is clear that the current supreme leader of North Korea is far from worshiping his father, Kim Il-sung, as well as the Juche ideology.
If so, it was difficult to be sure if they were really acting under the direction of the party or if it was just an individual act.
In addition, as evidenced by the previous struggle between the labor and movement circles, it is not clear that violence over internal initiatives between the anti-government organizations occurs day after day just by listening to dissatisfied interviews with nearby residents.
And instead of answering the protesters with bullets or tear gas, the North Korean authorities are clearly showing their will to resolve the issue through dialogue, as the Hakchon-ryon and the labor union themselves are actively promoting.
Even after the protests occurred (as is always the case in other dictatorships), the public security authorities expected a merciless and bloody suppression to follow. There was even a line from foreign media, including
It is very strange that there is a group that worships a tyrannical dictator named Kim Il-Sung who once exploited, monitored, starved, tortured, and violated all kinds of rights, even after his death. it wasn’t
It’s not just happening here in any country in the world.
