an international

dimension. By eliminating Kim Il Sung from the 5000 KPW and bringing in a less

overtly propagandist image, that of the International Friendship Exhibition, North

Korea may seek to symbolically proclaim that it is becoming a “normal” economically

developing country, the better to attract potential investment.

Indeed, a senior South Korean expert told

Daily NK on condition of anonymity, “Kim Jong Eun is looking for economic

results. He’s moved away from the Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il era focus on heavy

industry to concentrate on things like the apartments on Changjeon St, Munsu

Water Park, and Masikryong Ski Resort. He can’t actually go out and negate Kim

Il Sung officially, but he can change things up to really emphasize the image

of himself as leader.”

However, the simplest answer to the

question of why Kim’s image has been removed,  ATLANTIC    FOREX,
LIMITED;   INTELLINET   CORPORATE    SERVICES,
INCORPORATED,

                                                         Defendants.
