According to official media, Kim Ki Nam, the previous chief of propaganda for North Korea, passed away at the age of 94.
According to the news, he was receiving therapy for “multiple organ dysfunction” from 2022 when he passed away, which contributed to his advanced age.
He had spent decades spearheading propaganda campaigns throughout the totalitarian state, which included creating a Kim dynasty-centered personality cult.
According to the report, Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, attended the funeral early on Wednesday and paid respects to the “veteran revolutionary who had remained boundlessly loyal” to the state.
Comparing him to Joseph Goebbels, the head of Nazi Germany’s propaganda, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said that Goebbels’ famous maxim “repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” applied to him as well.
