He’s in the news almost every day. But, what exactly do we know about him other than his being the dictator of North Korea?
Did you know he attended an English language school in Switzerland? He actually attended two but little is known about him as he used an alias. Not a great academic but loved sports.
He is the third member of the Kim dynasty that has ruled the North since 1948. He’s clearly as cut-throat as his predecessors, the only way he can survive.
He’s married with at least one daughter although he doesn’t appear n public with her. He’s sometimes accompanied by his younger sister, Kim Yo-jung.
Like most dictators, he must keep the support of the military and many reports indicate he fears being away from the north to avoid a potential coup – although almost everyone around him appear to be doddering old men weighed down with “been there” medals.
