I guess due to his last name. Un? If you break the title of this post before his last name it would read Un in official. But we also know that isn't the only reason. If you are his age with nukes I guess most would have H1 tag wrapped around it too.

Yes. These tags are correct and necessary.

Can't see what the fuss is about, other than that NK knows how to use HTML.

Here's where the common usage of first and last name break down: his family name is Kim. I suspect it's along the lines of what you're getting at: to keep the name together.

I'm not sure how interesting this is in and of itself. It might be interesting to see if this is a special case. If it is, is there a particular reason for it? One could speculate all kinds of reasons, but I'm not sure how useful that is without actually knowing why.

> NK knows how to use HTML.

This is a disturbing leap in their technological capabilities. Whats next? Nukes? That would be unthinkable.

If you look at [the site](http://www.kcna.kp), none of the other names there (even Ri Sol Ju who i think is his wife) are in the tag – so it must be a facet of their content mgmt system

Added the alternative and more realistic version of my analysis in the last part.
