Kim's heir apparent increasingly visible in N. Korea: sources
SEOUL, May 11 (Yonhap) -- The third and youngest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has been increasingly visible on official occasions and masterminded the country's major publicity stunts, such as a recent fireworks extravaganza, in an apparent bid to burnish his image as a successor, sources said Monday.
Kim Jong-un, who is believed to have been tapped in January as the isolated state's next leader, has been seen making efforts to elevate his reputation by organizing the April 15 fireworks show and initiating an economic reconstruction drive, called the "150-day campaign," the sources privy to North Korean internal affairs said on condition of anonymity.
