Kim Jong Il Is Dying? The absence of North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Il attending today’s (September 09) grand parade for the country’s independence in Pyongyang have speculated that he is gravely ill. In fact, since he met up Chinese Vice-president Xi Jin Ping in June, Kim Jong Il was barely seen in public. Some rumors say the diabetes-suffering Kim had a stroke and may be dying or even have died. As the people know few about this world’s most reclusive figure, we compiled a photos gallery to show his father, mother, mistresses and sons after scouring the internet.

Kim Jong Il was born February 16, 1941, Vyatskoye, Soviet Union according to Russia’s archives, but North Korea’s official biographies state he was born February 16, 1942, Baekdu Mountain, Japanese Korea.

Sorry, for the time being, we are still finding the pictures of Kim Jung Il’s first and also only official wife Kim Young-suk and her daugher Kim Sul-song. There should have no image of Kim’s youngest son Kim Jong-un available online, who is also a possible heir to succeed his father as North Korea’s new leader.
Update: Kim Jong-un’s photo was found.
