Most of average North Koreans don\u2019t know the existence of Kim Jong-nam as he has been kept a secret from the public.

A North Korean, when talked through cell phone in 2017, even knew that Kim Jong-nam had been to Japan using a fake passport. He said that he had heard the information through the South Korean radio when he was in Hamhung.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Jong-nam faded into the background after the official appearance of Kim Jong-un. North Korea has incessantly kept up on the idolization of Kim Jong-un nationwide. Hopeful voices were heard in the beginning of Kim Jong-un's regime. Criticism of ethics violations from Kim Jong-un have grown, as Jang Sung-thack was executed in 2013 and Kim Jong-nam was murdered. The North Korean on the phone severely criticized the regime, saying, \u201cThey shouldn\u2019t have done that! He was his brother! The assassination is just pruning a side branch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/books\/release\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2193 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rimjingang_banner001.gif\" alt=\"Rimjingang_banner001\" width=\"280\" height=\"120\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">* <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/news\/north-korean-reporters\/\">Editor\u2019s notes on North Korean reporters<\/a><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/category\/report\/\"><\/a> <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/category\/pdf-archive\/\">ARCHIVE(pdf) &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/img\/map\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DPRK MAP &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Jong-nam was assassinated in February 2017 in Malaysia.
