From late 2010, Kim Jong-un was viewed asheir apparent to the leadership of the DPRK, and following the elder Kim's death, he was announced as the "Great Successor" by North Korean state television.[8] Kim holds the titles of Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (as First Secretary between 2012 and 2016), Chairman of the Central Military Commission,Chairman of the State Affairs Commission,Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army,[9] and member of the Presidium of thePolitburo of the Workers' Party of Korea, the highest decision-making body in North Korea.[10] Kim was promoted to the rank of Marshalof North Korea in the Korean People's Armyon 18 July 2012, consolidating his position as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces[11] and is often referred to as Marshal Kim Jong-un or "the Marshal" by state media.[12] Kim obtained two degrees, one in physics at Kim Il-sung University, and another as an Army officer at the Kim Il-sung Military University.[13][14]
Forbes magazine ranked Kim as the 46th most powerful person in the world in 2013 and the third highest amongst Koreans afterBan Ki-moon and Lee Kun-hee.[15] On 12 December 2013, North Korean news outlets reported that Kim Jong-un had ordered the execution of his uncle Jang Song-thaek due to "treachery".[16] On 9 March 2014, Kim was elected unopposed to the Supreme People's Assembly.

Early life

The Liebefeld-Steinhölzli public school in Köniz,Switzerland, which Kim Jong-un is reported to have attended.
Scarce information on Kim Jong-un's early life comes from North Korean defectors and people who have claimed to witness him abroad, such as during his school attendance in Switzerland. Some of the information has been conflicting and contradictory, perhaps confusing him with his brother, Kim Jong-chul, who also attended school in Switzerland around the same time.
North Korean authorities and state-run media have stated that Kim's birthdate was 8 January 1982,[19] but South Korean intelligence officials believe the actual date is a year later.[1] It is thought that Kim's official birth year was changed for symbolic reasons; 1982 marks 70 years after the birth of his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, and 40 years after the official birth of his father Kim Jong-il. TheUS Treasury Department lists Kim Jong-un's official birthdate as 8 January 1984.[20]Former basketball star Dennis Rodman said that this was Kim's birthdate after meeting in September 2013 in North Korea.[1]
Kim Jong-Un was the second of three children Ko Yong-hui bore to Kim Jong-il; his elder brother Kim Jong-chul was born in 1981, while his younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, is believed to have been born in 1987.[21][22]
According to reports first published in Japanese newspapers, he went to school in Switzerland near Bern. First reports claimed he attended the private English-language International School in Gümligen under the name "Chol-pak" or "Pak-chol" from 1993 to 1998.[23] He was described as shy, a good student who got along well with his classmates and was a basketball fan.[24] He was chaperoned by an older student, who was thought to be his bodyguard.[25]

★Kim Jong-un is a North Korean politician serving as leader of North Korea since 2011 and Leader of the Workers' Party of Korea since 2012
★Weapons Testing
Under Kim Jong-un's authority, North Korea continued its weapons-testing programs. Though agreeing in February 2012 to halt nuclear testing and to a cessation on long-range missile launching, in April 2012 the country launched a satellite that failed shortly after takeoff. Then, in December of the same year, the government launched a long-range rocket that put a satellite in orbit. The U.S. government believed that these launches were meant to cover up work and testing on ballistic missile technology.
