3. Q&A
Q) Today’s Rodong Sinmun calls to preserve Kim Jong Un’s
revolutionary idea – could you elaborate on what this is and how it is
different from Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism?
A) Kim Jong Un’s revolutionary idea is a relatively new concept that
has appeared in the process of idolizing Kim Jong Un. It does not have
a long history and background like that of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism,
and the North has not yet revealed the specifics. The Ministry will
continue to keep an eye on the situation.
