Kim Jong-un born 8 January 1983. Is the supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.

The problem with North Korea is that the opaque nature of virtually all of their international relationships has created a wall between what we know and what actually goes on inside the tiny, often irrational, pariah state. Kim Jong-Un, North Korea's 31-year-old leader is the youngest head of state in the world, a position he inherited from his late father Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited power from Un's grandfather Kim Il-Sung. Like his father, Jong-Un allegedly has expensive taste. Shipments of luxury goods to North Korea have increased since he took over in 2011.
