[R]ally, rally and rally behind great comrade Kim Jong Un and faithfully uphold his leadership.
An editorial in Rodong Sinmun, North Korea’s main newspaper, urges the country to rally around Kim Jong Un.
It also appears that Kim Jong Un will be known as “Outstanding Leader”. Not quite as epic as his grandfather’s “Great Leader,” or as cosy as his father’s “Dear Leader” but linguistically fabulous nonetheless.
If the moniker holds, it will update earlier ones such as “Brilliant Comrade” and “Great Successor” that were used before his father’s death.
Slate has a great explainer on the nicknames given to North Korea’s leaders. They originate — and perhaps this flows better in the Korean — in the Department of Propaganda and Agitation.
