Kim Jong-un became North Korea's supreme leader even if he had little military and political experience. Kim Jong-il groomed his successor Kim Jong-un before he died on December 17, 2011. Kim Jong-un’s current net worth is at $5 billion.
On January 2016, Mr. Kim went to the global headlines because of an underground hydrogen bomb test which is the second nuclear test since he came to power.
Kim Jong-Un underwent education in Switzerland. He avoided Western influences when he returned home. He did this when he was not in school and while he dines out with the ambassador of North Korea.
According to him, the imperialists no longer monopolize their superior military technology. They made a lot of effort to reinforce the armed forces of the people.
