Kim Jong –il What Can Happen When A #2 Is Elevated To #1
Korean Names And Culture Before we look at Kim Jong –il it might be best to take a brief look at the system used for Korean names. A Korean name consists of a family name followed by a given name. There are only 250 Korean family names currently in use. The most common are Kim, Lee, and Park. There is also a generational name syllable shared by all siblings and all members of the same generation. Married men and women usually keep their full personal names, and children inherit the father’s family name. A name can also denote their clan and city of origin. Korean Names And Gender Korean history has a strong foundation of Confucian Principles acquired during the Choson Dynasty, 1392. The family structure is patriarchal with the male being superior. Women are not seen as ambitious and have no aspirations. They are referred to as ansalam or “inside person” strictly restricted to domesticity. It is common for the wife to keep her family name after marriage but the children must take their father’s name. Kim Elevated to #1 Birth Order Kim Jong –il was elevated to the number one birth order moving above his older sister by virtue of his gender. The Korean culture puts the emphasis on males so with little effort he moved up to number one. When this happens many of the second born traits are still in effect. The feeling that he doesn’t want to be told what to do is a second born trait. He had to learn to lead and give orders as an elevated first born but it is not a natural instinct. His erratic behavior may just be the two birth orders working, this confuses his observers in the West. Early Years Kim is the eldest son of his father Kim Il-sung. His official biography says he was born February 16, 1942 in a log cabin on Korea’s Mount Paektu. Others believe he was born in Russia on February 16, 1941. His older sister is Kim Kyong –jin date of birth unknown. Kim Jong –il’s move up may have been easy but he still instinctively showed the need to protect his position from all possible challenges. His younger brother Kim Shura Man –il was two years younger when both were in the family swimming pool. It is said that older brother Kim Jong –il age 6 held his four year old brother under the water just to watch the bubbles come up. This drowning accident took place place in 1947. Brothers Sisters and Mothers Kim’s birth mother, Jhong-suk the mother of his older sister and younger brother died in 1949. His half brother and half sister Kim Pyong –il and Kim Kyong Hui were born after 1951 to his step mother Kim Song –ae. There was intense sibling rivalry between Kim Jong –il and his younger half brother who was at least nine years younger. The conflict between them got so bad that when Kim Pyong –il got older he was sent to a distant embassy to keep them apart.

He has had a series of mistresses and children. The following list should help in understanding his family.

If birth order is any indicator then the successor would be Kim Jong –un who has a double birth order of #4/2 He is the only one that shares his fathers birth order of a second born even through he also carries the 4th birth order as well. His oldest son Kim Jong Nam was arrested in 2001 on a forged passport and is now out of favor with his father. Kim Jong –il’s older sister is married to Chang Sung –taek who may challenge Kim Jong –un for the leadership role in North Korea. Nuclear Weapons In 1994 and again in 2000 North Korea entered into agreements with the United States to freeze and dismantle its nuclear weapons program in exchange for aid in helping Korea get nuclear generators. In 2002 Kim Jong –il admitted to having produced nuclear weapons since 1994 but said they did so for security purposes. On October 6, 2006 they conducted their first underground nuclear test. North Korean Army North Korea has the largest military relative to the size of the country in the world. It has the fourth largest standing army and with this power Kim has done little or nothing to relax his control on all aspects of the economy. Crazy or is it His two Birth Orders? Psychological evaluations conclude that Kim Jong –il is fearless in the face of sanctions and punishment. All these are second born traits. This makes negotiations with him extraordinarily difficult. Because of the cultural gender biases’ working with three different female US Secretary’s of State has been exasperating. His birth order won’t let you get a good look inside his country or his life. Trying to act like a number one birth order but behaving like a second born only adds to the confusion. Kim Jong –il has been the dictatorial leader of North Korea since 1994 after the death of his father Kim Il –sung. His relationship with the West has been strained at best. His country’s economy is in shambles and he has been putting his resources into nuclear weapon research and seems to defy all attempts to get him to fall into line. Could his birth order have something to do with his personality? Korean Names And Culture Before we look at Kim Jong –il it might be best to take a brief look at the system used for Korean names.

Hurst has been practicing orthodontics in Covington Louisiana for over 35 years.
