Anyone sharing the name of
Kim Jong-un was urged to change it in a directive sent out by the
North Korean regime almost four years ago, a report said. An internal state document obtained by
South Korea's
KBS TV station contained an "administrative order" from then-leader
Kim Jong-il for all party, army and police officials to ensure the directive was carried out. The order was issued in
January 2011, shortly after Kim Jong-un had been effectively anointed as the successor of his father, who died in December of that year. "All party organs and public security authorities should make a list of residents named Kim Jong-un and train them to voluntarily change their names," said the document, extracts of which were aired by
KBS. The directive appeared to maintain an ongoing tradition by the reclusive state's
Kim dynasty. The process involved revising names on official documents, including social security cards and school diplomas.
Officials were also directed to reject birth certificates for any newborns named Kim Jong-un.
