 | | It was at this congress that Kim Jong Il became the formal successor to his father. | | | Kim Jong Il was named General Secretary of the Korean Workers' Party in October 1997, and in September 1998, the Supreme People's Assembly reconfirmed Kim Jong Il as Chairman of the National Defense Commission and declared that position as the "highest office of state." | | | His involvement in purging Kim Il-sung's guerrilla cronies and those who were not personal friends of his father was his way of proving his loyalty to the elder Kim. |

When Kim Il Sung died in 1994 and his son, Kim Jong Il, became heir apparent, the younger Kim was given the title "Dear Leader." | | | Kim's refusal to accept U.S. demands that he give up his nuclear arsenal has led to so-far unexplained changes to the power structure in Pyongyang. |

| | Kim lived there with his parents and three older sisters for 20 years. | | | In his lifetime, state propaganda spoke of him as incomparable, omnipotent and infallible - 'the clairvoyant', Korea's 'sun', 'the perfect brain', capable even of determining the weather (at least when it was good) - and in 1998, four years after his death, the constitution was revised to install him as 'president for eternity'. | | | The supreme fiction of all North Korean propaganda, to which all other mystifications must conform, is Pyongyang's claim that the war was started by the United States and not by Kim Il Sung. |
