According to Yonhap News Agency, North Korean media published an article on the 10th, highlighting the "sleepless hard work" of Kim Jong-un, chairman of the North Korean State Affairs Commission, and vigorously publicizing the leader's image of "loving the people."
Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the Workers' Party of Korea, published an article on the front page of Rodong Sinmun on the front page. Mr. Kim told cadres who pleaded with him to rest that holidays were the wealth of the people and that if the party central committee rested, when would the ideal of national prosperity be realized. He also said that he always has two wishes in his heart, one is to build a communist ideal country that allows the people to live a good life as soon as possible. The other is to get a good night's sleep.
A documentary broadcast by North Korea's Central Television in October also showed Kim Jong-un on a special train, unobtrusively busy. However, South Korean intelligence agencies have revealed that Kim Jong-un is plagued by insomnia, and North Korean media descriptions may indicate that Kim Jong-un's health is not good.
