Kim Jong-un was born into a polygamous family where he had other half-siblings alongside a younger sister and an elder brother. He was groomed in Switzerland where he was schooled under an unknown name because of how shy he was.

Kim associated well with other students freely and had a zeal for playing basketball later in 2000, he was made to relocate back to North Korea while still in secondary school.

When he returned home, he bagged two degrees; one as an Army officer through the military branch of the school and another in physics from the University of Kim Il-sung, the capital of Pyongyang, where he graduated in 2007.

Later in 2010, his real identity was officially disclosed to the people of North Korea and he eventually became a bonafide member of the North Korean Worker’s Party.

North Korean Leader

Kim has upgraded North Korea to a certain pedestal in different ways since he came into power, although certain influences on the culture of the nation by western culture have been observed.

Kim in general shows no or less concern towards the public perception of him and his image and constantly showcases his wife’s musical shows and with so much expression of grievances on building collapses during his reign.

Also, one of the features of his administration is the economic reform with a considerable amount of restrictions implemented. When it comes to infrastructural reforms, Kim has prioritized pools, parks, and ice rinks instead of political headstones which were his norms formally.
