North Korean state media reported the death of Kim Ki-nam, known as "North Korea's Goebbels" for his role in propagating totalitarian propaganda for the ruling Kim family. He passed away at 94 due to multiple organ failures. Kim's tenure extended from the country's founding to 2017, playing a crucial role in maintaining the family's grip on power through extensive propaganda. His close ties to Kim Jong-il and his assistance to Kim Jong-un in establishing leadership earned him trust and longevity in a regime where top officials are often expendable. Kim's death was mourned by Kim Jong-un, emphasizing his loyalty and revolutionary contributions.
