It seems that he has ordered North Korean artists to watch Lee Young-ae's "Dae Jang Geum" and learn acting.

A North Korean radio channel reported that Kim said, "Don't say you've watched a movie when you haven't seen "Dae Jang Geum" or "Rambo"".

He also said the leading actress in "Dae Jang Geum" was very natural and elegant. He wondered why his people couldn't be like that.

Kim was satisfied with "Dae Jang Geum" former president Roh Moo-hyeon presented him with and evaluated that it was made well on the spot.
