Kim's Mystical Strategy
Hankyoreh reports on the wackiest theory behind Kim Jong-il's absence: pouting
In the meantime, some analysts say Kim's no-show may be a part of his strategy of using psychological warfare and mysticism to attract international attention at a time when the North's claims have drawn little attention due to the U.S. presidential election. However, Kim Yong-hyun, a professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University, pointed out, «At this point, it's difficult to understand why Chairman Kim would endure suspicion from the outside world by not attending the anniversary event on September 9.»
Now, this MUST be one of those things only a Korean could understand!
