Kim Jong-un Changes His Position in English from Chairman to President

It looks like Kim Jong-un is trying to make himself look more legitimate to English readers:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is now using “president” as his official title in English, instead of “chairman” as he has used in the past, according to the North’s state media. 

The English service of the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has been using president rather than chairman since Feb. 12 a report about Kim’s attendance at a Lunar New Year performance with leading members of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).

Since then, the KCNA has been referring to him as the “general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).” The DPRK is North Korea’s official name.
