[edit] Relationship with other members of the DPRK government

Is Kim Yong-il related to Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-Sung? The article on Kim Il-Sung notes that he had a child with his second wife, and lists the name of that child as Kim Yŏng-il. Is this name a different transliteration of Kim Yong-il, or is it a different person entirely? It is entirely possible that the man described in this article simply shares a common family name, and is not actually related to other prominent members of the government. Either way, it should be explicitly stated in the article. --Azriphael 16:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

According to Kim (Korean name), roughly 20% of the population of South Korea shared the surname in 1985. My guess is that it is just a coincidence. Evil Monkey - Hello 03:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
