North Korea has marked the 100th anniversary of the creation of an anti-Japanese movement group which was set up by the late great grandfather of the country's leader Kim Jong-un, Pyongyang's state media said Thursday.
North Korea held an event on Wednesday to celebrate the founding anniversary of the Korean National Association which was formed by Kim Hyong-jik, the father of the North's founder Kim Il-sung, according to the Korean Central News Agency.
The KNA was formed on March 23, 1917 as a secret association aimed at liberating Korea from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule, the report said, calling Kim an "outstanding leader of the anti-Japanese national liberation movement."
"Under the guidance of Kim Hyong-jik, the KNA dynamically spurred the independent and uniform development of the national liberation movement," the report said.
North Korea's report on highlighting the current leader's great grandfather is widely seen as a move to lend support to the idolization of Kim Jong-un and his legitimacy as royal blood.

Which will make it a bit more difficult as far as fall out if there are attempt to remove him from power.
