Can you guess who is the best opera writer of all time? Do you think it might be Puccini or Wagner or Verdi? How about the best golfer of all time? Would you guess Arnold Palmer, Jack Nichlos, or maybe Tiger Woods. It may surprise you but the best opera writer is also the best golfer. Amazing! According to an official North Korea autobiography Kim Jong Il wrote seven of the best operas ever written in the world, and once shot 3 holes-in-one during a single round of golf?. Do you believe it? (I don't believe it either.)
But let's not laugh too hard at North Korean propaganda. I think that the South Korean government also published the same kind of exaggeration. For years I heard but Pak Chung Hee only slept 3 hours per night?. Whenever I stayed up too late and was too tired to get up in the morning, my wife would remind me that Pak Chung Hee only slept three hours per night?. If I was supposed to study all night but fell asleep with books around me, she would say but Pak Chung Hee only sleeps three hours per night?. I never believed this. What I do believe is that exaggeration is in the Korean blood.
