Chosun Sinbo, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper published in Japan, argued on Monday that Kim Jong-Un’s age is not a cause for concern.
“In Korea, the leader’s young age is not a source of anxiety but a source of reassurance. People’s trust in the leader is absolutely firm,” the paper said.
“Foreign media have been recklessly uttering that Supreme Commander Kim Jong-Un had a short period to prepare as a successor, but in fact, the opposite is true,” it said.
“Our Supreme Leader, Supreme Commander, is young. It is the Korean nation’s limitless luck and glory for them to hold high a great young leader who will make the Kim Il-Sung Chosun (Korea) shine all the more,” it said.
It said Jong-Un displayed his mettle as a great military leader when he was a teenager at the Kim Il-Sung Military Academy, astonishing veteran generals.
