Biography


Kim Jong-un is an international politician, leader of North Korea, one of the bloodiest dictators in the world, from whom a number of geopolitical threats to the planet come. The name of Kim Jong-un is associated with pompous military parades, statues of leaders, missile launches, weapons of mass destruction and Asian "Stalinism", which terrifies world leaders.

fact

Childhood and youth


Kim Jong-un's biography is full of mystery. According to official information, the DPRK leader was born on January 8, 1982 in Pyongyang, but intelligence sources claim that Chen Un is a couple of years younger and was born no earlier than 1984. Due to the uncertainty with the dates of the birth of the head of state, nothing is known about his zodiac sign.

The parents of the future politician were the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and the favorite of the ruler, the ballerina Ko Yong Hee. Chen Un became the second potential heir to his father - Chen Il's firstborn was Chen Nam, whom actress Song Hye Rim gave birth to to the head of the DPRK, as well as Chen Un's mother, who was not officially married to the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Kim Jong-un's education, like childhood life, is reliably hidden from society. It is known that at an early age Chen Un studied at an international school in Switzerland, but the leadership of the educational institution assures that the DPRK leader did not cross the threshold of this school. According to the North Korean intelligence services, as a child, Chen Un received knowledge individually at home and did not become the owner of a single diploma from European universities.

Kim Jong-un appeared on the political horizon of the DPRK in 2008, when there were rumors about the fatal illness of his father Jong Il, who was the country's leader at the time. Then the throne was prophesied to the adviser of the North Korean leader Chas Son Taek, who at that time actually held the governing apparatus of the DPRK in his hands and was Kim Jong Il's brother-in-law.

However, everything happened differently - thanks to his mother, who, back in 2003, convinced the entire leadership of the republic that Chen Un was his father's favorite son and his only successor, in 2009 it was he who became the leader of the race for the post of leader of the DPRK.

Shortly before his father's death, Kim Jong-un received the title of "Brilliant Comrade" and was appointed head of the State Security Service of North Korea. On November 24, 2011, he was officially proclaimed the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, and a few days later he was elected chairman of the country's ruling Labor Party of Korea.

The first time after being appointed leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un appeared in public only in April 2012 during the parade dedicated to the centenary of his grandfather Kim Il Sung.

Personal life


Personal life of Kim Jong-un, like his entire biography, has no officially confirmed data. According to media reports, the leader of the DPRK has been married since 2009 to the dancer Lee Seol Zhu. According to various sources, she comes from the family of a doctor or military officer. Sol Zhu received her education in Korea and studied arts in China.

Some sources claim that his wife gave the North Korean leader three children, the first of whom was allegedly born in 2010, and the second in 2012. The third child appeared in the family in 2017. A year later, Lee Seol Joo officially received the title of Dear First Lady.

Despite the fact that the leader of Korea appears everywhere with his wife, he is credited with having connections with other women. For example, singer Hyun Sung Wol, whom he allegedly sentenced to be shot in 2013, was considered Kim Jong Un's mistress for a long time.

According to rumors, the artist and her colleagues in the Moranbong women's ensemble starred in porn films and kept the Bible at home, which is strictly prohibited in North Korea. Nevertheless, it was Hyun Sung Wol who in 2018 led the DPRK delegation during the trip of the country's national team to the Olympics in South Korea.

Politics


The policy of the youngest North Korean leader, who came to power at the age of 26, is full of sheer uncompromising and audacity.

Kim Jong-un is not particularly humane in the internal politics of the DPRK. During his reign, he executed more than 70 people, which became a record among all the rulers of the country. The leader loves to arrange public executions of officials who, in his opinion, are conducting their activities against him.

Allegations of corruption were a frequent pretext for executions. Some foreign media outlets even admire Kim Jong-un's policies, calling on the authorities of their own countries to effectively fight corruption.

Among those killed at the hands of Chen Un, there is even his uncle, whom the young leader accused of high treason and of preparing a coup. The North Korean leader also dealt with the accomplices of the "traitors to the motherland." For example, the Minister of Defense of Hyun Yong Chol, Kim Jong-un, was shot with his own hands from an anti-aircraft gun.

At the same time, Kim Jong-un is actively involved in reforms in the DPRK, in which he achieved considerable success. Among his achievements are the closure of camps for political prisoners, a change in the so-called serfdom, as a result of which people have the opportunity to create agricultural production cells from several families, and not from entire collective farms, and give the leader only part of their harvest, and not all, as it was earlier.

Also, Kim Jong-un carried out the decentralization of industry in the DPRK, delegating “many” powers to the directors of enterprises. From now on, managers can hire their own staff, assign salaries and choose a direction for marketing their products.

In addition, the North Korean leader managed to maintain "friendship" with his practically only strategic partner - China, which is North Korea's main trading partner.

As a result of Kim Jong-un's reforms, the standard of living of citizens increased, the introduction of new technologies and the development of the country's economy began.

Several books are dedicated to the DPRK leader - "The Kim Jong Il Film Company Presents" by Paul Fisher and "Welcome to Pyongyang! Kim Jong-un and the new life of the most closed country in the world ”by Travis Jeppsen.

fact

Nuclear program


The main business of the DPRK leader's life was the creation of powerful nuclear weapons, with the help of which Kim Jong-un intends to turn enemies into radioactive ash. At the same time, in his native country, the leader is considered a great reformer who changed people's lives for the better by granting the people rights and freedoms that Koreans had never even dreamed of before.

Kim Jong-un regularly throws down a loud challenge to the whole world, proving his power by the "forbidden" nuclear method. Bypassing all UN Security Council resolutions, Jong-un continues his father's work and develops the country's nuclear potential, threatening to destroy anyone who tries to stand in his way.

His most notorious actions during his reign were the DPRK's entry into the "space powers club" in 2012, the third nuclear test in North Korea's history in 2013 and the release of an artificial satellite into Earth's orbit, which, as the North Korean leader promises, Kim Jong-un the world has put on the threshold of nuclear war.

The ruler regularly conducts terrifying tests that are not regulated by international law. He prioritizes the development of North Korean nuclear weapons of mass destruction, despite the harsh sanctions imposed against the DPRK by all the leading countries of the world.

Presumably, in 2017, a nuclear explosion occurred in North Korea during a hydrogen bomb test. Seismological stations indirectly recorded it for an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 points.

Leader of the DPRK Kim Jong-un intends to achieve military parity with the United States Leader of the DPRK Kim Jong-un personally gave the order to launch the rocket "...

According to the North Korean leader, the nuclear program is the only way to gain recognition of its own interests on the world stage for a small country like North Korea, which also does not develop vast reserves of expensive minerals. At the same time, the leader of the DPRK claims that he is going to use the nuclear potential only in the event of an attack on North Korea.

Although North Korea's nuclear program has become the object of jokes, it has already begun to cause fears among other nuclear powers. Kim Jong-un stated that the DPRK has created warheads capable of reaching distant targets using long-range missiles.

Experts in the United States believe that this statement may already be true, although the press does not have reliable information about the new tests. Western experts also believe that Pyongyang's statement that the country has already created missiles capable of reaching the continental territory of the United States is true.

On February 13, 2017, Kim Jong-un's exiled half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, was killed by VX at Terminal 2 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

In May of the same year, North Korea announced an attempt on the leader's life. According to Koreans, the CIA and the South Korean National Intelligence Service hired a North Korean lumberjack working in Russia to kill Kim Jong-un with "biochemical weapons." This weapon is described as both radioactive and poisonous at the same time.

In November 2017, US President Donald Trump wrote a series of tweets following his participation in the APEC summit in Vietnam, dedicated to Kim Jong-un.

Trump complained that at the meeting, the North Korean leader called his American colleague old, although Donald himself did not allow himself to be insulted, although he could call the Korean small and fat (Kim Jong-un's height is 175 cm and weighs 130 kg). At the same time, the media recalled that Trump repeatedly insulted Kim Jong-un, calling him crazy and a suicidal astronaut.

Kim Jong-un's uncompromising attitude and an abundance of threats and statements made the North Korean leader the target of jokes in other countries. The Internet is full of memes with Kim Jong-un, residents of the Comedy Club wrote a number about the meeting of the North Korean dictator with Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel, and Seth Rogen and James Franco starred in the comedy film Interview, where Kim Jong-un is declared the main villain.

In 2017, the popular Russian band Little Big dedicated the track Lolly Bomb to the Korean leader. According to the plot of the video, a dictator in love with a nuclear bomb is trying to establish relations with her. Kim Jong-un invites her on dates, visits shops with her. The President even hugs and kisses the rocket. Jong Un starred as his double.

It is not only Russian artists who create parodies of the leader of North Korea. In 2014, a video appeared on the Web in which Kim Jong-un dances and fights to a popular Chinese song. The video caused outrage on the Korean side.

Health


It is known that Chen Un started having health problems in his youth, which were caused by his overweight. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are listed among the chronic diseases of the North Korean leader.

Despite his illness, Kim Jong-un tries to monitor his health whenever possible. In 2016, he lost weight and began to look slimmer. A year later, the Internet played up this fact, presenting the dictator in the photo with a lot of weight loss.

Since September 2017, North Korea has not launched new ballistic missile tests, explaining this by the leader's health problems. In addition, in 2014, the leader had already disappeared from the press for 6 weeks. Several publications have put forward theories about the seriousness of Kim Jong-un's illness and even suggested that he was killed by an unknown "biochemical weapon", which was reported in May.

In 2020, information appeared that the head of North Korea was in serious condition after heart surgery. Some media reported that Jong-un was in a coma, while other sources of information provided information that the North Korean leader had died.

The alleged cause of death was the coronavirus. Representatives of the DPRK denied the speculation of journalists that Kim is dead. Official sources reported that the leader is now alive and in a safe place.

fact

Kim Jong-un now


North Korea, like other countries, is in quarantine due to the spread of the coronavirus. The country's political leader himself, according to media reports, was hiding in the resort town of Wonsan, where his residence is located. It was at the railway station of the settlement that Kim Jong-un's armored train was spotted by US satellites.

The head of the DPRK supported Moon Jae-in, the leader of South Korea, expressing confidence that their countries will be able to get out of this situation without loss. In a response letter, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan thanked his colleague.

In April 2020, the social networks Instagram and Twitter received information about the first person shot due to coronavirus. It was a North Korean official who neglected the conditions of quarantine. The man visited a public bath, after which he was arrested.

Against the background of talk about the death of Kim Jong-un, speculations about the successor of the DPRK leader appeared. He is seen as the younger sister of the head of state, Kim Ye Jong, who is the first deputy director of the propaganda and agitation department of the Central Committee of the Korean Workers' Party.
