Talk:Song of General Kim Jong Il

Biased Much?
I think this page is seriously biased against North Korea. The description of the followers of the dictator as a cult seems to be a little bit off base as well. Sworded lion26 (talk) 11:15, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

English lyrics notes
Shouldn't the notes for the English translation of the lyrics just be incorporated into the translation itself? "Manse" should simply be translated into English in the lyrics, shouldn't it? The different transliterations of "Baekdu" should be accounted for in the transliterated lyrics section, and the alternative North Korean names for the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea should simply be omitted, and the usual English names should be used in the translation.
