From Wikipedia: "The first comprehensive biography of Kim Il Sung was published in Korean in North Korea in 1968. It was called Minjogŭi t'aeyang Kim Il-sŏng changgun (Sun of the People, General Kim Il-sung). Although it was most likely written by a collective, it appeared under the name of Baik Bong. Before that, hagiography of Kim Il Sung had been identified with Han Sorya, but after he was purged, hagiography conventionally no longer appeared under the name of any one author. Baik's biography was published by the party in two volumes. It covered Kim Il Sung's life up to the end of 1967. That biography was translated into English in three volumes under the title Kim Il Sung Biography and was published by a Japanese publishing house. The first volume is titled From Birth to Triumphant Return to Homeland, the second volume From Building Democratic Korea to Chullima Flight, and the third volume From Independent National Economy to 10-Point Political Programme. It has since become "the standard DPRK biography" of Kim Il Sung." B136
