He implemented the “Military First” policy and continued his father’s personality cult through propaganda. In 2012, he launched a satellite and was responsible for creating the Mass Games and producing propaganda films such as “Sea of Blood” and “The Flower Girl.” An avid golfer, he allegedly scored a 38-under par with 11 holes-in-one. Interestingly, Kim Jong-il claimed to be an ‘internet expert’ during summit talks with the South Korean president.
