Kim Jong Il, the former leader of North Korea, received numerous titles during his rule. Despite his death in 2011, he is currently the Eternal Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the Republic.
Usage of North Korean media
When he is mentioned in North Korean media and publications, he is most commonly referred to as "Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il" (위대한 령도자 김정일동지) or "General" (장군님).
Like his father and son, when his name is written, it is always emphasised by a special bold font or in a larger font size, for example: "The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il provides on-the-spot guidance to the Ragwon Machine Complex." or "The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il provides on-the-spot guidance to the Ragwon Machine Complex."[1][2]
