For historical interest, I scanned an English-language book published in Pyongyang in 1979 titled "Modern History of Korea" which some of you may find slightly interesting, although I don't have twenty posts so I can't directly link to it: archive [dot] org/download/ModernHistoryOfKorea/Modern%20History%20of%20Korea.pdf

What I find amusing is that it more or less claims that Kim Il Sung began founding the "real" Korean communist movement at the age of 14 (the Down-with-Imperialism Union.)

Kim Jong Il also went absent for short periods. I think a coup would require not just absence, but also a cessation of praise for Kim Jong Un (which wasn't the case, his name continued to be constantly mentioned in DPRK media.)
