Kim Jong Il failed to impress his father
An exceptionally telling release from the KCNA:
"It was on the evening of July 6, Juche 83 (1994) that President Kim Il Sung made a phone call to an official and stressed that the documents to be presented to General Secretary Kim Jong Il should be worked out as short as possible. The President said that every possible effort should be made to alleviate the work burden of Kim Jong Il....I request you once again that you should faithfully uphold Comrade Kim Jong Il with revolutionary faith and pure obligation to the end and do your best not to impair his health".
Edited a little unfairly in order to make a point, but that suggests to me that KIS reckoned that KJI one or all of the following - dim, lazy, poor with detail, short of attention span - given that whatever KJI was getting was of the same standard of turgidness as that going to KIS.
