I'd love to think things might change but it appears unlikely.

It's astonishing how brazen these propagandists can be:
Other official reports about Kim included claims that he had
shot 11 holes-in-one the first time he picked up a golf club, that he could alter the weather just using his mind and that
he had started walking at three-weeks-old and talking at eight weeks, London's Daily Telegraph reported.
Kim's official biography said that in elementary school he showed his revolutionary spirit by l
eading marches to battlefields where Korean rebels fought against Japanese occupiers of the peninsula.
By the time he was in middle school he had shown himself to be an exemplary factory worker who could repair trucks and electric motors, the biography claimed.
He went to Kim Il-sung University where he studied the great works of communist thinkers as well as his father's revolutionary theory, in a systematic way, state propaganda said.
North Korea analysts said however, Kim lived a life of privilege in the capital, Pyongyang, when his family returned to the divided peninsula in 1945.
