It`s called the "Day of the Shining Star," the birth anniversary of the late leader Kim Jong Il, who was Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Nam`s father, though they had a different mother.
Purges, not surprisingly, aren`t normally reported, though the brief trial and execution of Kim Jong Un`s powerful uncle was prominently broadcast and signaled to many experts Kim Jong Un`s effort to solidify his powerbase.
The alleged murder of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un`s estranged half-brother could be the best cloak-and-dagger thriller North Koreans will never get to hear.
His other half-brother, Kim Jong Chul, and older half-sister, Kim Sul Song, are believed to be party members in good standing.
Kim Jong Un`s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, is a powerful member of the ruling elite, but that would also come as a surprise to many people here.
