Kim

Nearly all references to the surname Kim (pertaining to RationalWiki's mission) will refer to the crazies that have ruled North Korea from 1948 and onward. They are known as the Kim family or the second "Kim dynasty." In North Korea, the family is officially referred to as the "Mount Paektu Bloodline" (sometimes spelled "Baektu"). The mountain is traditionally sacred to Koreans (North and South) and neighboring Manchus; the Kim family appropriated its name for propaganda purposes.
