Kim Chen In- North Korean Supreme Leader, leader of the party, army and people of the DPRK, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), first chairman of the State Defense Committee of the DPRK. Kim Jong-un - Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's Army, Marshal of the DPRK, Deputy of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK.
Kim Jong-un's childhood and education
It is believed that the biography of Kim Jong-un is shrouded in mystery. From publicly available official materials it is known that Kim Jong-un was born on January 8, 1982 in Pyongyang. But there are other opinions. For example, intelligence sources report that the Korean leader was born no earlier than 1984. Kim Jong Un's Wikipedia biography states that "discrepancies in the date of birth are explained by the leader's desire to look older" and that North Korean officials initially claimed that Kim Jong Un was born on January 8, 1983.
Father - Kim Jong Il(1941−2011) - former head of North Korea (1994−2011).
Mother - Korean ballerina Ko Young Hee- favorite of Kim Jong Il.
Grandfather - Kim Il Sung(1912−1994) - founder of the North Korean state and its first de facto leader (1948−1994).
Kim Jong Un is said to have been educated at home and does not have a diploma. Although South Korean intelligence services reported that Kim Jong-un studied at the Swiss international school in Bern under the name Eun Park. However, now the school management denies this fact. Then, from 2002, Kim Jong-un individually studied at the Kim Il Sung University and the Kim Il Sung Military University in the DPRK.
In 2013, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was awarded an honorary doctorate in economics from HELP University, a private Malaysian educational institution.
Political career of Kim Jong-un
People started talking about Kim Jong-un when rumors appeared about the fatal illness of his father, Kim Jong-il. The mother was able to convince the leadership of the republic that Kim Jong-un is Jong Il’s beloved son and should be his only successor.
During the lifetime of his father, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong-un received the title “Brilliant Comrade” and was appointed head of the North Korean State Security Service.
On December 17, 2011, Kim Jong Il died of a heart attack, and on December 24, in the central printed organ of the WPK, the Nodong Sinmun newspaper, Kim Jong Un was first named Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's Army. But Kim Jong-un appeared before the people of Korea in 2012 during a parade dedicated to the centenary of his grandfather Kim Il Sung. And in the same year, Kim Jong-un was recognized as Person of the Year (2012).
Despite the sanctions that constantly haunt North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-un was ranked first among millennials (young people born between 1981 and 2000) by The Guardian.
Foreign Policy of Kim Jong-un
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ensured that North Korea entered the club of space powers. Kim Jong-un was not concerned that his country thereby violated two UN Security Council resolutions (2006 and 2009). Of course, this caused outrage in the international community. And when the DPRK successfully conducted the third nuclear test in its history in February 2013, the indignation of the Western powers and the United States reached its climax. North Korea has been declared a "world evil". Sanctions rained down on her from all sides, which became tougher every year.
On July 4, 2017, North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile towards the Sea of Japan. The flight lasted 40 minutes, the rocket crashed in Japan's exclusive economic zone. It was noted that the rocket managed to rise significantly above the 2.5 km mark. Secretary General of the Government of Japan Yoshihide Suga called the missile launch from North Korea a provocation that violates UN Security Council resolutions.
Kim Jong-un said that the Hwangsong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is capable of carrying a large and heavy nuclear warhead.
The head of the White House commented on the new missile launch of Kim Jong-un Donald Trump, emphasizing that the United States, as well as countries in this region, will no longer tolerate North Korea’s tests.
Kim Jong-un was not afraid, but on the contrary, he himself began to threaten a possible preventive nuclear strike on the United States. Then the DPRK followed with the annulment of the non-aggression treaty with South Korea, which was signed in 1953. However, at the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party, Kim Jong-un said that North Korea would use nuclear weapons only as a means of defense.
Earlier, at a meeting of the UN Security Council, Russia and China made a proposal according to which Pyongyang should stop testing its ballistic missiles, and other countries should not conduct military exercises off the coast of the DPRK. But Kim Jong Un instructed his scientists to continue working on ballistic missiles and said Pyongyang intends to continue testing them until “the United States and its vassals make the right choice.”
On September 3, North Korea conducted another nuclear test. This happened just a few hours after Pyongyang announced the creation of a hydrogen bomb. The South Korean General Staff estimated the power of the explosion at 100 kilotons, and the Japanese authorities at 70 kilotons. According to various sources, the explosion caused an earthquake measuring from 5.7 to 6.3 on the Richter scale (previous tests caused a maximum of 5.3).
After the incident, American President Donald Trump said that he was ready to use nuclear weapons to defend his country.
A possible conflict between North Korea and the United States became an important news trend in 2017. Donald Trump spent the whole year practicing insults for Kim Jong-un, calling him a madman with nuclear weapons, a “short guy with a missile” and a psycho. In September, Trump coined a new nickname for Kim Jong Un, calling him "Rocket Man." A little later, Kim Jong-un said that the United States would pay dearly for the speech of its president. He also called Trump's remarks "eccentric expressions" that insult him and his country. “Why did Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me “old,” but I never call him “small and fat.” Well, I'm trying hard to remain his friend - and maybe someday it will happen!” Trump tweeted in response.
At the same time, in August, Donald Trump positively assessed Kim Jong-un’s decision to refrain from launching missiles into the area of the island of Guam, which is under US jurisdiction. “Kim Jong-un of North Korea made a very smart and balanced decision,” Trump said. “The alternative would be catastrophic and unacceptable!”
Free Press reported that the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov compared the behavior of the leaders of the United States and North Korea to a conflict between children in kindergarten.
Kim Jong-un's domestic economic policy
Having become the head of state, Kim Jong-un not only threatens the United States and the world with nuclear war, but also tries to carry out economic reforms.
Agrarian reform was one of the first to be carried out. Kim Jong-un introduced the so-called “link” row. The “small link” - this is one family and two families living nearby - received land for cultivation, and a significant part of the resulting harvest remained for the “link” itself. This reform led to a record grain harvest already in the first year of its implementation (2013).
In industry, state-owned enterprises were actually transferred to self-financing.
Kim Jong-un's actions were seen to be more loyal to private business. A network of special economic zones was created to attract foreign investment. But in connection with the application of sanctions to the DPRK, Kim Jong-un began to pay more attention to the development of national production.
In photographs appearing in the press, Kim Jong-un can often be seen at North Korean defense factories and at missile tests, but he also periodically visits various enterprises producing civilian products. The world media published a photo of Kim Jong-un's visit to the perfume factory. The DPRK is actively developing its own perfume industry and creating its own brands, such as “Bomhyanggi” and “Unhasu”.
Information technology has begun to spread rapidly in North Korea. So in 2014, China imported smartphones and mobile phones worth 82 million 840 thousand dollars.
In 2013, the news reported that North Korean engineers had developed their own smartphone, Arirang. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was pleased with the work of the scientists: he appreciated the lightness, appearance and functions of the smartphone, high-quality display and megapixel camera.
Personal life, hobbies and health of Kim Jong-un
North Korean news and state television reported on July 25, 2012 that Kim Jong-un was married. Photos of Kim Jong-un and his wife appeared in the media a few weeks earlier. His wife - Lee Seol-ju- graduate of the University. Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang. Kim Jong-un's wife's father is a teacher, and her mother is a doctor. It is believed that Kim Jong-un got married in 2009.
News also reported that the North Korean leader has two children. The biography of Kim Jong-un on Wikipedia states that the first child was born in the fall-winter of 2010 or winter of 2011, the second at the end of December 2012.
Kim Jong-un is fond of basketball and loves pop culture. As the Daily Mail reported, Kim Jong-un is a big fan of the English football club Manchester United.
On the health front, back in 2009, it was reported in the news that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un suffered from diabetes and hypertension. However, he is a heavy smoker.
Photos of Kim Jong-un from public events were not published in September and October 2014, and DPRK state media news reported that he was suffering from an “uncomfortable physical condition.” When Kim Jong-un appeared in public again, the DPRK leader could be seen in the photo leaning on a cane.
In 2015, Kim Jong-un began to weigh 130 kg, having gained about 30 kg in 5 years.
At the same time, in April 2015, the country's official information bureau distributed a photo in which Kim Jong-un stands on the top of Mount Paektusan in a fairly light coat and shoes. Internet users, followed by Western media, laughed at the North Korean leader, who conquered the most difficult peak in North Korea without serious equipment, RIA Novosti reported.
In the summer of 2017, American doctors came to the conclusion that the head of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, was taking steroids, which later caused him to become aggressive. Doctor Rock Positano from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York noted that according to their data, Kim Jong-un suffers from gout, the news said.
Scandals with Kim Jong-un
Kim Jong-un has been repeatedly accused of brutally persecuting rivals in the struggle for power. In December 2013, the 67-year-old Jang Song Taek, the politician’s uncle, who for a long time headed the “regency council” under the young Kim Jong-un and was considered the “second man” in the state, was executed by court verdict for attempting to overthrow the government. Later it became known that the wife of the executed Kim Kyung Hee, is in a coma - the woman underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. It was reported that she could have died of a heart attack or committed suicide.
Almost all the relatives of Jang Song Tek, the executed uncle of the DPRK leader, were sentenced to capital punishment, the Yonhap news agency (South Korea) reported.
The news also reported that about a dozen popular artists in the country were shot in North Korea. All of them were found guilty of producing and distributing pornography. One of the victims was a singer Hyun Sung Wol, considered a former girlfriend of the North Korean leader, with whom Kim Jong-un broke up about 10 years ago at the insistence of Kim Jong-il's father.
According to a deputy from the ruling Saenuri Party of South Korea, on the orders of the DPRK leader, four musicians of the national orchestra “Unhasu” were executed; they were accused of espionage for issuing information about the life of Kim Jong-un’s family.
However, news from South Korea about the executions of Kim Jong-un is not always confirmed. On May 13, 2015, a number of media reported, citing the South Korean news agency Kyodo, that the Minister of the Armed Forces was shot in North Korea for falling asleep at an important military event. But the minister Hyun Young-chul appeared on television after the news of his execution.
But Kim Jong-un’s half-brother, 45, will no longer appear on air Kim Jong Nam, who was killed on February 14, 2017 with VX while walking through Terminal 2 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. He was also reported to have been attacked by two women with “poisoned needles.” Foreign news, citing the police, reported that the DPRK authorities were involved in the death.
According to KCNA, in May 2017, a group of terrorists who infiltrated the DPRK on orders from the US CIA and South Korean intelligence with the aim of committing a terrorist attack against Kim Jong-un was discovered and captured.
According to The Korea Times, in 2014, North Korean men were required to sport a hairstyle like Kim Jong Un's, whereas previously they could choose from 10 types of state-approved men's hairstyles. Kim Jong-un also banned officials from smoking foreign cigarettes.
The entire biography of Kim Jong-un has not been officially confirmed. The reign of Kim Jong-un is marked by the continued development of missile and nuclear weapons, economic reforms, and deterioration of relations with South Korea and Western countries.
Kim Jong-un is the third member of a dynasty of dictators that has ruled North Korea for more than 70 years. The young politician came to power, becoming the successor to his father Kim Jong Il, who, in turn, inherited the ruler's chair from the Great Leader Kim Il Sung. As a conductor of the revolutionary popular ideas of Juche, Kim is distinguished by greater adherence to principles in matters of foreign policy.Childhood and family
The official date of birth of the leader of the North Korean nuclear power is carefully hidden. The fact that Comrade Kim was born on January 8 became known in 2014, when basketball player Dennis Rodman was invited to Pyongyang for a game organized on the occasion of the birthday of the DPRK leader. Some sources give Kim's birth year as 1982, but South Korean intelligence agents say he was born two years later. 
The son of Kim Jong Il, according to unofficial data, was born from a dancer of Japanese-Korean origin Ko Yong Hee. For a long time, the name of the third chosen one of the Great Kim was classified due to the insufficient purity of blood and low origin for her position. In the press, the woman was called the Great Mother, the Pious Wife and other indirect and very poetic titles, but after her death in 2004, the information became public. The cause of the death of a fairly young woman remains unknown; all that can be said for sure is that Kim Jong Il’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his three children died in 2004 or 2005 in Paris, where she lived after the end of her relationship with the Korean dictator.
The young man received his education in Switzerland. Together with servants and bodyguards, he lived not far from an elite school under a different name, and teachers came to his house. Returning to his homeland in 2002, the future politician graduated in absentia from the university named after his grandfather, “the great leader of the Juche ideas,” and received a degree in physics. From 2002 to 2005, Chen Eun also studied at the Military Academy, also named after his grandfather, where the young man was awarded his first military rank.
During the lifetime of his father, who officially bore the titles of Great Leader, Father of the People, Bright Star of Paektusan and Pledge of the Unification of the Nation, Kim Jr. received the title of Brilliant Comrade and headed the state security service. Rumors that Jong Un would succeed his father as the country's top leader were confirmed in 2009, when the Yonhap news agency published a directive from Kim Jong Il that he issued to the leaders of the Workers' Party. 
At the beginning of 2010, the young man was awarded the rank of General, and in September of the same year, a photograph of Jong-un first graced the front page of the country's main newspaper, Nodong Sinmun: the politician stood next to his parent at the Labor Party congress.
For a year, the young general and Brilliant Comrade Kim accompanied his father to all public events, speeches, military parades and exercises, and on official visits.
On December 17, 2011, the country's leader died of a heart attack. It is known that the Great Leader suffered from a number of vascular and immune diseases and complications associated with them, as well as diseases of the musculoskeletal system, but he smoked a lot, preferring strong cigarettes and cigars, loved to drink a glass or two of cognac, did not take care of himself at all and did not follow doctors' orders.
The life of Kim Jong-un and his wife
Press reports about the death of the Great Leader appeared only two days later, and at the same time the name of the new leader, the successor to the revolutionary popular ideas of Juche, was announced. At the end of December, the country's central agency published a photograph of Jong-un, with great pride calling him a Great Person, born for the common good in heaven, which became the third time in history that this highest title was awarded; For the first time, the Great Leader Kim (Il Sung) was so named; after his death, the title and control of the country were inherited by the Supreme Leader Kim (Chen Ying).
The history of the origin of the titles of the first person of the state begins during the reign of Kim the Grandfather, the Great Leader. Praising the virtues of a national leader through titles reached its peak in the 1980s, when titles began to be highlighted in bold type in publications.
After officially taking office as leader of the country on December 29, 2011, Kim received a title that reflects all the positions he held, but in the press he is most often called Senior Comrade, as well as Beloved and Respected Comrade Kim.
As a senior leader
In the first year of the reign of the third Kim, the country officially entered the list of space powers, which was a violation of UN resolutions and caused a negative reaction from the European community. The nuclear tests carried out at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 became the reason for tightening sanctions against the country, introduced under Kim Sr. 
The foreign policy pursued by the young leader does not contradict the line initiated by the founder of the dynasty, but, according to political scientists and historians, it is more rigid and uncompromising. After the launch of the Gwangmyongsong satellite, the leader of the state made a speech, replicated by Western media, in which he declared the right to explore outer space in the interests of the development of North Korean science and economy.
At the end of 2015, it became known that North Korea had a hydrogen bomb; the information was later officially confirmed. In 2016 and 2017, the Koreans conducted three more tests of ballistic missiles, after which the Great Leader issued a statement that the tests showed successful results and Korean scientists had achieved the required level of the latest weapons, which has no equal in any other country in the world. At the end of 2017, the nuclear test site was closed, but official sources report that measures to keep nuclear weapons operational will continue to be carried out in the future.
In the internal policy of the state, changes affected mainly socio-economic development, namely construction, information technology and agriculture. The amount of foreign investment attracted to the DPRK has increased significantly since 2012, which has accelerated the growth of the number of enterprises in various segments of small and medium-sized private businesses and has a positive impact on the standard of living of citizens.
Some reforms concerning the personal and cultural life of citizens led to an increase in the popularity of the Korean leader, especially among women. Until 2013, ladies did not have the right to appear in public places in jeans and trousers; By special decree, Comrade Kim lifted the ban on wearing trousers, as well as colored tights and shoes with heels. Also, the female population of the DPRK was allowed to ride bicycles.
Personal life of Kim Jong-un
The young charismatic leader of the DPRK is married, his wife is a graduate of the vocal department of the Pyongyang University named after Kim Sr. Li Sol-ju. The details of her biography are also kept secret; all that is known is that the girl was born between 1985 and 1989 and comes from an intelligent family. 
One of the South Korean newspapers wrote that in 2010, Comrade Kim saw a girl on TV, then she was a singer and performed with the Eunhasu orchestra. The media first mentioned the wedding of Comrade Kim and Lee Sol-jun in 2012, but exactly when the celebration took place is unknown.
The first child in the family of the heir to the Juche ideas appeared in 2010 or 2011, the second in 2012 or 2013. According to Western media, in February 2017, the North Korean leader became a father for the third time.
The health of Comrade Kim is almost the main topic in the media, talking in different tones about the illnesses of the Korean leader. It is known that Jong-un inherited diabetes and joint problems from his father, which is why he is forced to constantly wear orthopedic shoes and adhere to a diet. However, Jong-un also inherited his stubborn character from his parent; although he wears orthopedic shoes, he smokes and can afford a glass of cognac and does not want to normalize his weight, which in 2018 was more than 120 kilograms with a height of 162 cm (“official “The height of the head of the DPRK is 175 cm, but in May 2018, journalists found out that he wears shoes with special insoles that increase his height by 13 cm).
Comrade Kim is interested in pop culture, loves music and enjoys following events in the world of sports.
Kim Jong-un now
The leader of the DPRK devotes a lot of effort to improving relations with his closest neighbor: the heads of North and South Korea hold meetings, the first of which took place in the spring of 2018.In the spring of 2018, Kim made a speech at the next congress of the Labor Party, in which he announced his intention to make a breakthrough in the economy, to carry out a set of “high-tech measures for Jucheization, modernization and increasing knowledge intensity,” which, in his opinion, will lead to an even greater increase in the well-being of citizens .
In June 2018, a historic meeting between Comrade Kim and the President of the United States took place, during which preliminary agreements were reached on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but the second meeting of the heads of state in February 2019 was unsuccessful and no documents were signed.

Kim Chen In. Prohibited biography
Kim Jong-un is the most mysterious and unpredictable figure of our time, about whom almost nothing is known. It is worth noting that he is not only a prominent political and government figure, but also a military figure, as well as a North Korean party leader.
There is little that can be said about his personal or family life, since it is possible to pay for photographs or videos with life and health. However, his political exploits are painted in vivid colors, and reports on trips around the country are supplied with vivid photographs and laudatory comments.
Height, weight, age. How old is Kim Jong-un
At the insistent requests of the workers, we will try to figure out what the Korean leader’s height, weight, and age are. How old is Kim Jong-un is a rather complicated question, since the official date of birth is not publicly available.
According to one version, Kim Jong-un was born in 1983, and according to another in 1984, most likely, all this is done in order to preserve youth longer in the eyes of his people. Kim Jong-un: photos in his youth and now are also the same photo, although in the last of them the man is already waving to his people after several plastic surgeries and makeup.
According to more or less official data, the politician was born in 1982, so he was thirty-five years old. According to the zodiac circle, Kim Jong-un received the sign of the persistent, stable, calm, hardworking, creative Capricorn.
The Eastern horoscope endows the politician with the character traits of the Dog, namely, loyalty, friendliness, intelligence, and resourcefulness.
Kim Jong-un's height is one meter seventy-five centimeters, but his weight often exceeds ninety kilograms.
Biography and personal life of Kim Jong-un
The biography and personal life of Kim Jong-un are areas that are also filled to capacity with secrets, omissions and even strange gossip. The guy was born in North Korean Pyongyang, and his parents were known far beyond the borders of the DPRK.
Father - Kim Jong Il - was the permanent political and government leader of the DPRK from 1994 to 2011. He died suddenly of a heart attack, which people learned about only two days after this tragic event.
Mother - Ko Yong Hee - was one of the favorites of the Great Leader, she was a sought-after and brilliant ballerina. She met the leader of the DPRK during one of the parties at which girls danced naked in front of the leader. The woman died tragically either in 2003 or 2004, however, why this happened is unknown. There are versions that the beauty had breast cancer, and also that she died in a terrible car accident.
Brother - Kim Jong Chol - the middle brother of Kim Jong Un, who also aspired to a high post. His mother was Ko Young Hee, so the young people were siblings. Kim Jong Chol was the leader of the country's Workers' Party, but in 2015 he moved to the UK, where he still lives, without getting involved in political games.
Brother - Kim Jong-Cher - the eldest son of Ko Yong-hee, about whom practically nothing is known; by the way, they say that in addition to this unreal brother, the future leader also had a younger sister on his father’s side.
The brother, Kim Jong Nam, is the eldest and at the same time his paternal half-brother; his mother was the politician’s first favorite, actress Song Hye Rim. The guy was educated at home, but graduated from university in Switzerland. The young man was excluded from inheriting the post of head of the DPRK because he had fallen out of favor. In February 2017, he was treacherously killed at the Kuala Lumpur airport when a mercenary threw a handkerchief soaked in some kind of poison over his face.
The boy received an excellent education, since he was first taught at home, for which his father invited the best teachers. Then it turned out that Kim Jong-un had very poor eyesight, so he studied at a specialized prestigious school with in-depth study of the German language, but two grades lower than expected.
The young man received his higher education outside the country; according to the latest versions, this happened in Switzerland, namely, at the Berne International School. The guy did not appear there under his own name, so he went by the pseudonym Eun Park.
Later, the talented young man graduated from the University named after his famous father and the Military University named after him, but in an individual form. He often appeared in prestigious restaurants, and he was accompanied by the North Korean ambassador to Switzerland, who paid for the entertainment of the future head of state from the secret treasury.
Since 2003, the powerful Kim Jong Il declared his beloved son his successor, ordering him to be called nothing more than “King of the Morning Star.” He strongly recommended that his people wear pins with the image of Kim Jong-un on their hearts, and already in 2009 he officially confirmed the status of his son as the future head of the DPRK.
Under the pseudonym Kim Jong, he won the elections in 2010, and at the same time he was appointed head of state security of North Korea. And after the death of his father in 2011, he received the status of “Brilliant Comrade”, became the commander-in-chief of the DPRK army, and also became the head of the republic.
By the way, foreign economic policy was very scandalous and daring, since Kim Jong-un joined the union of space states in 2012. And in 2013, he frightened the world several times with nuclear tests, although he signed a Non-Aggression Pact with his closest neighbor, South Korea.
Almost nothing is known about the young man’s personal life, since this affects the image of the head of state. It is known that the politician has been married for a long time and is happily married; he claims that he loves and respects the mother of his children.
Kim Jong-un is overweight because he is both diabetic and hypertensive. He loves to travel, is an NBA fan and loves movies starring Mel Gibson.
Family and children of Kim Jong-un
The family and children of Kim Jong-un are another dark spot in the life of the great North Korean leader that will never be solved. Some information can be gleaned from foreign intelligence data and stories from athletes or actors whom the politician invited to visit him at different times.
It is worth immediately making a reservation that the surname of the Kim family, but Jong-un is a double traditional Korean name. The most interesting thing is that Koreans do not and never have had a middle name, and the surname is placed before the person’s name.
Kim Jong-un's daughters
Chen-un has mixed blood in his veins, since his father was Chinese by nationality, and his mother was Japanese. It is also unclear how many children and from which women were born in the noble Kim family.
The same story happened with Kim Jong-un himself, because he is the father of several children. It is not clear how many there really are, what gender they are and what their names are. Thanks to the ubiquitous military intelligence of other countries, it became known that, apparently, there are three children and all of them are the daughters of Kim Jong-un.
The eldest girl was born in 2010-2011, the middle one in the first month of winter 2012. The year of birth of the last child became known after one of the NBA basketball players visited the DPRK; this event happened in 2017. Presumably the second or third girl's name is Kim Ju-ae, but this information has not been officially confirmed.
The most interesting thing is that there is information that Kim Jong-un’s wife gives birth to children under duress, first from her father-in-law, and now from her husband, since he demands the birth of an heir.
Kim Jong-un's wife - Ri Sol-ju
Kim Jong-un's wife, Ri Sol-ju, was once a popular dancer; she graduated from Pyongyang University named after her beloved father-in-law. The girl’s parents had nothing to do with politics; her father taught at the university, but her mother was an ordinary doctor.
At the same time, no one can say how the romance of the young people began and how long it lasted. In 2012, Kim Jong-un simply let slip that he had been married for more than three years and was incredibly happy in his marriage.
Rumor has it that the great Kim Jong Il himself chose his daughter-in-law when he saw her during a performance of the national orchestra in tandem with the ensemble. It is worth noting that Ri Sol-ju has weight in government administration; at her request, her husband relaxed the requirements for the appearance of representatives of the fairer sex of the DPRK.
What is known about this man? What is his lifestyle and management style? What do the facts say? What was invented? Where will the young politician lead the country? What are the real prospects? Let's figure it out.
Origin and biography
It is not known for certain when Kim Jong-un was born. All information concerning the leader of the country is kept strictly confidential. It was officially announced that his date of birth was January 8, 1982. Other sources say that Eun was born a little later, the dates vary. Such data is provided in reports from the intelligence services of states that are particularly interested in affairs in a closed country. These are organizations of hostile South Korea and the USA. They agree on only one thing: Pyongyang, the capital of the country, is declared the place of birth. In any case, it turns out that one of the youngest world leaders is Kim Jong-un. His biography, like that of other North Korean leaders, is not made public. Only scanty facts are known.
Mother
Even less is known about the woman who gave birth to our hero. The only thing we can say with certainty is her name - Ko Young Hee. They say she was a ballerina. There was no official marriage between her and the previous leader of the country, Ir. The girl delighted the leader at “pleasure parties.” Kim Jong Il loved these forbidden evenings. To the accompaniment of American (banned in the country) music, naked beauties gave him magnificent performances. According to rumors, this is how she received the future leader. Kim Jong-un never talks about her mother. In any case, there is no such information in the press. And there is something to discuss. The death of Ko Young Hee, which allegedly occurred in 2003, is causing a lot of speculation. The official version insists that the cause of death was cancer. Other sources say that she died mysteriously in a car accident. The circumstances of the case are not disclosed. It is interesting that at this time a unique campaign was carried out in the country, positioning a woman as a “respected mother.” Analysts considered the event a sign of the appointment of a successor to the then leader. They called Eun and his brother Kim Jong Cher.
Education
This is another terrible secret that North Korea does not want to reveal. Kim Jong-un, according to unverified information, received a European-style education. How the process took place is a mystery. Rumors name a number of educational institutions, among which the most often heard is the International School in Interestingly, the leadership of this institution denies that Kim Jong-un has ever crossed the threshold of the school. But there are enough rumors about his life in Europe. Official sources claim that the teenager received knowledge at home. His talent and even genius are not in doubt.
Political connections
He was most often seen in chic restaurants in Bern. The company of Ri Chol, North Korea's ambassador to that country, was his favorite. This may have been the path that led him to the presidency of the DPRK. Ri Chol, according to unverified information, was the secret treasurer of Kim Jong Il. That is, an influential and respected figure. They also say that Kim Jong-un played basketball in Europe. These rumors are refuted by the complexion of the heir. He was returned home even before that, at the age of about twenty years. Then the sources of information lose sight of him. If he worked in the country's governing bodies, he used a pseudonym. No photographs of him appeared in the press. It is known that Kim Jong Il showed preference to the young man over his other sons.
King of the Morning Star
They said that the mother ordered officials from the DPRK leadership to call her son that way. No one dared to contradict. Rumors about the death of Kim Jong Il began to appear in the press closer to the end of 2008. Then it turned out that he was struck down by a serious illness. This was a worrying factor. Officially, a dry information message was provided that the leader had suffered a stroke. Analysts began to worry. The main topic of geopolitical discussions was the candidacy of the next leader of the people. They started calling candidates. Kim Jong-Cher, according to rumors, did not arouse much sympathy from his father, who considered him weak. Another brother, Kim Jong Nam, disgraced himself with his addiction to gambling establishments. Ir considered him a follower of the corrupting Western culture. Experts believed that his beloved son could become the main contender for the presidency of the DPRK. Kim Jong-un was still too young. He was twenty-six years old. This was the only negative fact. In all other respects, his father considered him a completely acceptable figure, especially noting his intelligence. An additional factor in Eun’s favor was the advertising campaign that his mother ran back in 2003.
Successor
In mid-January 2009, it was officially announced that the analysts were right. Kim Jong-un was proclaimed the official heir to the leader of the people. This came as a surprise more to the country's elite than to the world community. According to rumors, some forces inside North Korea were making plans to ascend to the “throne” of Kim Jong Nam. There were even reports about this in the press. The leader decided otherwise. He assigned an adviser to his beloved son, Chas Song Taek. This influential politician ruled the country with an iron fist during Ira's illness. The procedure for the official “introduction” of Eun into power began with the elections in February 2009. He was registered as a candidate for membership in the Supreme Assembly of the DPRK. Elections took place in March. It is interesting that the names of Ir’s sons were not included in the officially published lists of winners. However, Eun was introduced as the leader's successor and appointed to the post of head of the Security Service. It was explained to the press that he was elected under a pseudonym.
Brilliant Comrade
A heart attack ended the reign of the leader of the people. In 2011, Kim Jong-un died and was immediately named Supreme Commander of Korea. This is one of the main jobs of this state. About a week later, he was confirmed in the main position - Chairman of the Central Committee of the Labor Party. The birth of a new leader took place. About a year earlier, Eun received the honorary title “Brilliant Comrade,” which remained with him. For three and a half months after being confirmed in office, the new leader did not appear in public. He made his first statement at an event dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Kim Il Sung on April 15, 2012. The solemn speech was made during the parade in honor of the ideological creator of the state.
First steps
Kim Jong-un has established himself as a daring politician. At times his uncompromising nature was shocking. The first thing he did was to step up efforts to create a nuclear program. In 2013, the third tests in this area were carried out. He violated all UN Security Council resolutions. Previously, a non-aggression pact was concluded with South Korea. The young leader categorically announced his unilateral break. The UN has called for tougher sanctions against North Korea. Ng was not at a loss, but responded to this by threatening to use the country’s nuclear potential against the United States. The world could plunge into the horror of World War III using the most terrible weapons. At this time, the press was full of headlines saying that Putin and Kim Jong-un were scaring the planet. Just two states were carried out simultaneously (without agreement between the leaders). However, hopes for liberalization of North Korean policy, which were associated with a change in leadership, collapsed overnight. This country has become a constant topic of discussion in In addition, the world is excited by North Korea's space programs. There are regular reports of attempts to launch a satellite from its territory. This is a direct violation of the UN Security Council resolution.
Personal life
Everything that surrounds the leader is shrouded in mystery. So, only in 2012 it became clear that he is a family man. Kim Jong-un, whose wife has not appeared in public, turns out to be the father of two children. Their dates of birth are not reliably known. Mother - Lee Sol-ju graduated from a university in Pyongyang. She grew up in the family of a teacher and a doctor. It is believed that the young people met at a concert in 2008. The girl took part in the performance. What official sources say about the leader’s personal life is remarkable. Under my father, this topic was not leaked to the press. He married three times, and not a single word was published about it. Eun is not in good health. Its fullness led to the onset of early hypertension, aggravated by diabetes. Among his hobbies is his love for Hollywood films. Sports preferences - American basketball.
Kim Jong-un executed his uncle
December 2013 was marked by a cruel event. Kim Jong-un executed the man who, by the will of his father, looked after and protected the heir from other contenders for the throne. Chan Song Thaek was rightfully considered the most influential person in the country. He was still close to Father Eun during his decline, when Ir’s health weakened. According to rumors, he practically led the DPRK. And then in December 2013, a message came from behind the veil that Taek was accused of treason. It was officially announced that he created his own faction within the leadership, which was preparing a coup d'etat. The act is called a “heinous crime” and an intrigue. Thaek is accused of wanting to create a branch in the ruling party that seeks to overthrow the current regime. The perpetrator, as it turned out, was the president's uncle. In addition to treason, he was also accused of corruption. It was officially stated that he took drugs and often spent time with women, which indicated his moral decay. Thaek was found guilty by a military tribunal. Immediately after the meeting, the criminal was executed. There were reports in the press that the people of North Korea supported their leader in a united “front”.
Prospects
Analyzing Eun’s activities, political scientists make allowances for his young age. However, everyone notes the emergence of a strong leader, who is sometimes compared to Stalin. North Korea is in a difficult situation due to economic sanctions. The exit routes have been outlined. Analysts believe that the young leader will be able to survive and revive the country. who hoped to guide the young leader was mistaken. The country is still far from prosperity, but no one is starving, and they support their Eun. Kim Jong Il showed himself to be a wise man and leader in choosing his successor. Continuing his father's work - the creation of nuclear weapons, Eun does not forget about the economy, which now seems to be the main problem. Under his leadership, the word “reform” became firmly entrenched in the country. The economy began to gradually change; old structures that hindered development began to be broken down. First of all, the reform affected the agricultural sector. The shortage of products is the main problem of the state. To strengthen the producer, Eun practically gave the peasants the right to engage in a kind of entrepreneurship, which had previously been strictly prohibited. Now a team of five people can produce agricultural products and keep a third for themselves. The reforms also apply to other sectors. Prospects for the state are outlined. The young leader leads the people with confidence and firmness.
