Kims' cult of personality (concept)

The Kim cult of personality refers to the intense and pervasive glorification of the Kim family, particularly Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-un, in North Korea. This phenomenon involves promoting their images and ideologies as almost divine. The government uses propaganda, education, and media to create a narrative that portrays them as infallible leaders, fostering loyalty and devotion among the populace. This serves to consolidate power, suppress dissent, and maintain control over the country, making the leaders central figures in North Korean identity and state ideology.
