Picture of the Day: How Many Titles Does Kim Jong-un Have?
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un receives an applause at a meeting of the country’s parliament, the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA), in Pyongyang on June 29, 2016, in this photo captured from the North’s Korean Central TV. The SPA newly created the “commission on state affairs” and appointed Kim as its chairman, strengthening his one-man rule. (Yonhap)
In all fairness to the “Great One” (sorry Mr. Gretzky – you’re not the only one), the Commission on State Affairs replaced the National Defence Commission; an organization for which KJU was also the leader. So while he gained a new title, he lost a title at the same time. So instead of being the supreme leader of eight organizations … he’s still just the supreme leader of only seven.
