The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is recognized among Western observers as one of the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable leaders, with a reputation for being unpredictable and erratic.

Despite a lack of any official competitive intelligence (CI) on the North Korean leader, the contrast between his public persona and reality, combined with his repeated public ICBM tests, suggest that he is at least somewhat intelligent, perhaps even exceptionally so.

In the following section, we will try to know a little bit more about Kim Jong-un, like his career and academic accomplishments, his hobbies, books, etc.

Who is Kim Jong-un?

Kim Jung Un was born on July 14th, 1942, in Pyongyang, North Korea. To understand Kim Jong-un, then it’s worth taking a moment to familiarize yourself with North Korea’s supreme leader. Kim Jong-un, whose official title is “Supreme Leader” of North Korea, is the third leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) — North Korea’s official name. He was actually born under the name of Kim Il-sung; however, he was given that name at birth by his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, the country’s founder. Since then, Kim Jong-un has assumed his nation’s official name.

When was he declared North Korea’s supreme leader?
