West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

On December 27, 2011 an ordinary female handball coach of the Korean People’s Army was given an order to receive medical treatment in a hospital.

In those days all the country deeply mourned over the loss of Comrade Kim Jong Il, the great leader and kind-hearted father of the Korean people. How did it come that she was issued the order?

In May 2011 Kim Jong Il attended the inaugural ceremony of a gymnasium built by a unit of the KPA anew and enjoyed a handball match. He closely watched a female coach on the playing court. Worryingly, he said she looked sickly.

The official concerned informed Kim Jong Il that she was an incurable invalid, uttered her will not to leave the playing court to the last moments of her life although she knew that her days were numbered and remained in a handball training ground almost all the time. Kim Jong Il said that she was a good woman and gave earnest instructions to cure her disease well.

Kim Jong Il got firsthand knowledge of her medical treatment time and again when occasion came and adopted all necessary measures for it. Consequently, she changed for the better. This was quite a miracle.

But to her astonishment, Kim Jong Il passed away in December 2011 too unexpectedly. Her disease again began to take turns for the worse.

At that juncture Comrade Kim Jong Un was acquainted with her medical treatment and ensured that she was cured of the disease without delay.

She repeatedly entreated officials to allow her to attend, aside from all others, the ceremony of bidding farewell to Kim Jong Il.

They said, lump in throat:

“Comrade Kim Jong Un ordered us to send you to the hospital as soon as possible….

“Please prepare yourself for your departure.”

The sole order of the world could be issued by nobody but Kim Jong Un, the supreme incarnation of love for man.
