In early propaganda posters, Kim Jong-il is portrayed as a good student who promotes “Juche” thought to his classmates.

When Kim Il-sung died, the image of Kim Jong-il comforting the grieving masses appeared on propaganda posters.

Kim Jong-il’s image on propaganda posters is often related to national security.

Mighty waves beating against the shore and expressions of steely determination have also been used to portray Kim Jong-il as a great leader.
