arghton 6,865 Posted October 31, 2023 Moon il-Seung, North Korean spy/soldier who was caught by South Korea during the Korean War dead at 97. He was one of the 46 NK spies/POWs who wanted to return to NK "left" in South Korea after the transfer of the "Unconverted long-term prisoners" in 2000. Interesting article about those 46. As of September 2022 there were 9, now there's only 6: ages 95, 94, 91, 90, 89 and 79. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 12,125 Posted January 21 93. He seemed to be one of the less evil out of a cunt regime. The old guard down to Immortal Kim Yong-nam, ubercunt Kim Ki-nam and Choe Yong-rim. After them there are some born in the mid-30s (Pak Jae-gyong, Ri Myong-su, Ju Sang-song who reappeared this summer, Thae Yong-su, Kim Yong-dae) but they feel like a different generation and none of them are A-listers. So down to three. Kim Yong-nam suffers from Parkinson's and dementia, Choe Yong-rim is wheelchair bound and Kim Ki-nam is so frail he has failed to make public appearances for two years. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure who the others are, but some of them look worse than Yong-nam. He is in the late stages of decrepitude. He is a highlander but extremely frail. Don't know who will be the last standing between him and Choe Yong-rim (why absent?). The others are Pak Pong-ju (1939), Kim Jong-gak (1941), Thae Jong-su (1936), Ri Myong-su (1934) and Pak Jae-gyong (1933). The next generation of state elders as the previous one are really on their last legs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,865 Posted July 14 One thing I'm curious about...who's this man who seems to be dressed in white? Might be the same one who attended the Shoigu concert a year ago: Jon Ha-chol? Kwak Pom-gi? Some minor name? I'm mostly only curious as he looks a bit like a badly embalmed corpse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 12,125 Posted September 22 General Ryo Chun-sok (wiki) was buried in the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery a few days ago. According to the grave photo he died back in 2018. As usual wiki editors do not know what "death announced on this date" means, so right now the English wikipedia reports he died this month. Korean wikipedia has instead the right dates. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
