Kim Jong-il's son reappears in Singapore Interviewed by Japanese journalist Yoji Gomi for a book that was released in January, Kim Jong-nam said North Korea is being run by an inexperienced young man who is likely to be acting at the behest of other forces, and that without economic reforms similar to those carried out in China, he could fall from power. In the book, "My Father, Kim Jong-il, and I: Kim Jong-nam's Exclusive Confession," he also voiced strong opposition to the hereditary transfer of power to his half-brother - and claims his father had been equally against the idea until shortly before his death as it runs completely counter to socialist philosophy. Kim Jong-nam also said he was a strong advocate of a "people-first" policy, instead of the North's present "military-first" ideal. In October, South Korean authorities indicted a North Korean agent for violating the National Security Law. Prosecutors said Kim Yong-su had been ordered by the North Korean regime to travel to China in July 2010 to kidnap Kim Jong-nam. Kim Yong-su has reportedly confessed to planning to bribe a Chinese taxi driver to drive into Kim Jong-nam and disguise it as an accident and claim diplomatic immunity to get him back to North Korea. Kim Yong-su, who was arrested on a subsequent mission to Seoul, has admitted that the outright assassination of Kim Jong-nam would have been too blatant an act for the rest of the world to dismiss. The Chosun Ilbo reported that Kim Jong-nam moved to Singapore because his apartments in Macau were known to the media and North Korean agents. He opted to settle in Singapore as it is easy for him to travel to Europe, where his 17-year-old son is a student at an international college in Bosnia. His wife, Lee Hye-kyong and his daughter, 13, are believed to still be living in Macau.
