Gloves made from underwear
Kim Jong Il’s mother, Kim Jong Suk, as part of her heroic anti-Japanese efforts in 1937, unraveled her underwear and knitted a pair of gloves for Kim Il Sung from it. The article ends by stating that she must have gone through incredible hardship without underwear during the winter. So, she had given away her only pair of underwear? I hope Kim Il Sung appreciated his gloves made from used panties.
(It’s worth mentioning that even in recent times, it’s hard for regular DPRK citizens to get ahold of underwear. So the North Korean public may not perceive weird sexual overtones in this story and only see that they meant to show Kim Jong Suk’s love and concern and such. But regular citizens don’t have Internet access, and this story is meant to sway external parties…so it’s still weird.)
