Kim Ki-nam, North Korean Propaganda Chief Who Shaped Personality Cult of Pyongyang's Leaders, Dies at 94

ai generated text

Kim Ki-nam, a renowned propagandist and political activist, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 94 due to multiple organ failure. Despite sharing a surname with the ruling Kim family, he had no blood ties to them. The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, paid tribute to him by visiting the funeral hall on Wednesday. State media described Kim Ki-nam as a "veteran of our party and the revolution" and a "prestigious theoretician." He is credited with creating the cult of personality for the ruling family dynasty.

    2. Kim Jong Un also trusted and relied on this propaganda veteran from his grandfather's, and subsequently his father's time, by keeping him in key propaganda positions for years before he retired from the propaganda scene in early 2019.
