Kim Jong-un Visits Father’s Masoleum for the First Time in Four Years
It is believed that Kim Jong-un has not been regularly doing events to commemorate his father or grandfather in order to create greater legitimacy for himself:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has paid his respects at the mausoleum of his father, late leader Kim Jong-il, on the anniversary of his birthday, state media reported Monday, marking his first reported visit to the family mausoleum on the late leader’s birth anniversary in four years.
Kim visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun the previous day, on the late leader’s birthday, known as the Day of the Shining Star, accompanied by his powerful sister Kim Yo-jong, party secretaries, Defense Minister No Kwang-chol and others, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
A floral basket was laid in his name before the statues of the late leader and national founder Kim Il-sung, and he paid “homage of immortality and best wishes” to his father, the KCNA said.
