SEOUL (BNO NEWS) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has had nightmares in which his own people threw stones at him, Rep. Chung Mong-joon of the ruling South Korean Grand National Party said, The Korea Herald reported on Monday.

The Korea Herald said Chung made the comments to the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) on Sunday, citing his father's private conversations with Kim. "Chairman Kim Jong-il once told (my father that) he was well-aware that his people, in fact, did not like him although many people came out to welcome him when he showed up," Chung reportedly said.

The comments, if true, indicate that Kim is well aware of the situation in North Korea. "He told my father that he had dreams in which he was hit by stones thrown first by Americans, second by South Koreans and then by North Koreans," Chung said.

Chung is seen as a potential presidential candidate during the upcoming presidential elections in 2012.
