The Kim family is a three-generation lineage of North Korean leaders. It started from the country's founder and first leader, Kim Il-sung. Koreans call it the Mount Paektu bloodline. The family has ruled North Korea since 1948.
The North Korean government denies that there is a personality cult surrounding the Kim family, describing the people's devotion to the family as a personal manifestation of support for their nation's leadership.[1] The Kim family has been described as a de facto absolute monarchy[2][3][4] or hereditary dictatorship.[5]
The Kim family has been at the helm of North Korea since its founding. Kim Il-sung, the founding leader, established the regime in 1948. His son, Kim Jong-il, succeeded him, followed by Kim Jong-un, the current leader. The family's rule has been marked by authoritarianism, isolationism, and nuclear ambitions, shaping North Korea's complex history.
