Relationship with other members of the DPRK government

edit

Is Kim Yong-il related to Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-Sung? The article on Kim Il-Sung notes that he had a child with his second wife, and lists the name of that child as Kim Yŏng-il. Is this name a different transliteration of Kim Yong-il, or is it a different person entirely? It is entirely possible that the man described in this article simply shares a common family name, and is not actually related to other prominent members of the government. Either way, it should be explicitly stated in the article. --Azriphael 16:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

According to Kim (Korean name), roughly 20% of the population of South Korea shared the surname in 1985. My guess is that it is just a coincidence. Evil Monkey - Hello 03:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think clarification is very important, given that news articles are currently reporting that possible successions after Kim Jong-il's eventual death will be affected by the strength of the Kim family (meaning the family of Kim Jong-il). Apparently his family wields a lot of political power due to the cult of personality around Jong-il and his father. So it's an important question: are the 3 most powerful people in North Korea (all with family name 'Kim') related (that's Kim Jong-il, Kim Yong-il, and Kim Yong-nam)? It'll be especially relevant if there's a power struggle. ...CIA Fact Book doesn't mention anything. Complex.confusion (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

The infobox lists "President Kim Yong-nam" but he's the premier under Eternal and Deceased President Kim Il-sung! (212.247.11.156 (talk) 16:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC))Reply

Clarification is very important. the article of Kim Il-sung does have a link to this page, because it lists Kim Yong il as a son of Kim Il-sung, and so because the names are the same, the article redirects here. Dorkules (talk) 13:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
