Kim Jong-un

Kim Jong-un is the Supreme Leader of North Korea, having assumed power in 2011 after the death of his father, Kim Jong-il. He is known for his authoritarian rule, tight control over the country, and the development of nuclear weapons, which has led to international tensions. Kim promotes a personality cult around himself and maintains an isolated regime that prioritizes military power. His leadership has been marked by economic challenges, human rights abuses, and attempts to engage in diplomacy, particularly with the United States and South Korea, though relations have often been strained.
