Kim Jong-un is the Supreme Leader of North Korea, having assumed power after the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, in December 2011. Born on January 8, 1984 (although his birth year is sometimes reported as 1983), Kim is the third generation of his family to rule North Korea, following the leadership of his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, and his father. His rule is characterized by a strong emphasis on military might and the development of nuclear weapons, which has led to international tensions and sanctions. Domestically, Kim’s leadership has maintained strict control over the population, emphasizing ideological purity and the continuation of the personality cult surrounding his family.
