Michael Breen is a writer and communications consultant based in Seoul. He first went to South Korea as a journalist. He covered both North and South Korea for several newspapers before giving up journalism to pursue a fascination with North Korea. He became a management consultant advising companies on dealing with the communist state.

(Atlantic Monthly, September 2004) "...a breezy and gossipy account of the life of the Dear Leader, who has been variously portrayed in the West..." (Sunday Telegraph, 22 February 2004) "...he interestingly draws on some psychological profiles and a few accounts of those that have met him [Kim Jong Il]..." (Spectator, 28 February 2004) "...immensely knowledgeable..." (The Herald, Glasgow, 6 March 2004)
