At university it was claimed in his biography that he wrote no fewer than 1,500 books in three years

ZKim apparently produced a patriotic 100-part documentary series on the history of his North Korean homeland as well as writing a book titled On the Art of Cinema.

Kim also apparently composed six operas and enjoyed staging musicals.

The sheer genius and talent of this man. What will the world ever do without him? (Cue North Koreans wailing in the streets.)
