A year prior to Kim Jong-un's ascension to power, it is now revealed, a directive went out, forcing every citizen of the country sharing names with the leader to change their names.
This was contained in an 'administrative order' an internal state document gotten by South Korea's KBS TV. The other was passed in January 2011, shortly after Kim Jong-un's being anointed as the successor of his father.
“All party organs and public security authorities should make a list of residents named Kim Jong-un … and train them to voluntarily change their names,” the document read.
The process involved revising names on official documents, including social security cards and school diplomas. Officials were also directed to reject birth certificates for any newborns named Kim Jong-un.
“Authorities should make sure that there is no one making unnecessary complaints or spreading gossip … regarding this project,” it added.
