`NK commander who led Cheonan-Yeonpyeong attacks fired`
DECEMBER 27, 2011 07:21
Kim Kyuk Sik (photo), commander of the 4th Corps of the Chosun People`s army, appears to have been fired, sources said Monday. He is known to be one of those who initiated last year`s attacks on the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island.
A source said, “Kim must have been dismissed given all of the circumstances up to now." Another source said, “It seems that Kim has not yet been promoted at least."
Kim was not on the list of the funeral committee for Kim Jong Il announced Monday last week and has not yet visited the funeral site. South Korean intelligence, however, says the commander`s dismissal is not a soft approach gesture that North Korea wants to show to South Korea.
In February 2009, Kim Kyuk Sik was appointed commander of the corps governing Hwanghae Province and the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea after serving as a chief of staff of the North Korean (Chosun) People`s Army. After the replacement of the corps commander last month, many rumors were milled over whether he was demoted or promoted to new supreme leader Kim Jong Un`s military adviser.
In the meantime, the official Workers` Party daily Rodong Shinmun said, "All party entities across the country support our great compatriot Kim Jong Un`s ideology and leadership. Let us safeguard the party`s central committee led by our respectful Kim Jong Un."
North Korean media covered stories on support for Kim Jong Un as head of the central committee and top military commander Sunday.
In North Korea, the leader is supposed to lead the people through the party. The succession will be complete only if Kim Jong Un becomes leader or general secretary of the party.
Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said, "This implies that Pyongyang will move fast to end the power succession process. Kim Jong Un will be appointed the party`s general secretary at the general assembly of the party`s central committee in the foreseeable future."
P!
Interesting.
What’s the Korean word for Perestroika?
In NORK parlance, does “fired” mean shot?
Most likely fired because he didn’t sink the capitalist South Korean ships.
Interesting in light of information that the Young Un was there for the shellings.
TLR - we were all talking about this guy last week and how, noticeably, his name was missing off the funeral list. Seems like SK intel has come to the same conclusion you did last week.
Coming from a Chinese source, this is noteworthy. Maybe this power transition isn’t going so smoothly.
According to the Maeil Gyeongje, stocks are falling fast with talk of a possible coup in North Korea and Chinese cyberspace lighting up with talk—originally posted on a Chinese military affairs website—that China should deploy ground forces to North Korea to prevent a sudden collapse of the North Korean regime.

Juche. (제기랄)
We downloaded this comedy from Netflix last night.
The Juche Idea
2008NR 61 minutes
Director Jim Finn helms this experimental satire that examines what happens when a South Korean filmmaker sojourns into communist North Korea to breathe new life into that country’s flagging, propaganda-driven movie industry. Believing that cinema can prop up North Korea’s Juche Idea of self-reliance, mad dictator Kim Jong-Il pulls out all the stops to help the young émigré produce appropriate films. Sung Kim and Daniela Kostova star.
It's not looking good for Kim...
S. Korean stock market is always full of rumors. Kim Jong-il has died a dozen times over before he finally kicked the bucket.
Isn’t that the word for “in your face Yankee”.
I though Juche is the term for DPRK defiance.
No?
She is a home-grown fifth column. Her late husband is even more so. Nobody has done so much damage to S. Korea as Kim Dae-jung. Her death will be another step into the right direction.
Kim Jong Mentally Ill was a big a movie fan, especially of South Korean films. He had the biggest female star in South Korea kidnapped and taken north, where he hoped she would help invigorate the North’s film industry. (This when he was still Number One Son, and had not yet ascended to the throne.)
Apparently, she was a good enough actress to play along and eventually won enough confidence from the tin pot tyrant in waiting that she was allowed to leave North Korea for a film festival in some east European country still at the time under Soviet domination. The first chance she got, she bolted and appealed to the local police for asylum. Habits of a thousand years of civilization die hard and the east Europeans returned her to her homeland.
Interesting.
How is the term in parentheses pronounced please?
Would you have a rough translation perhaps?
