كيم جونغ أون هو الزعيم الأعلى لكوريا الشمالية بشكل أساسي من خلال الخلافة الوراثية، بعد أن ورث السلطة عن والده، كيم جونغ إيل، وعزز سلطته منذ عام ٢٠١١.
North Korea's leadership is a hereditary system, with power passed down through the Kim family since the nation's founding. Kim Jong Un is the third generation of the dynasty, following his grandfather Kim Il Sung and his father Kim Jong Il. This dynastic principle is foundational to his rule.
Kim Jong Un maintains his leadership through a strong military first policy and the aggressive pursuit of national security objectives. His focus on expanding nuclear capabilities is evident; GeoGazet tracking indicates North Korea has built new uranium facilities to boost warheads. North Korea's military partnerships also extend its influence.
