Who is the Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea and successor of the Kim dynasty?
Kim Jong-un Kim Jong-un (Chosŏn'gŭl: 김정은 ; ] or ] ] ; born 8 January 1982–84 or 5 July 1984) is the Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and supreme leader of North Korea. Kim is the second child of Kim Jong-il (1941–2011) and Ko Yong-hui. Before taking power, Kim was rarely seen in public, and many of the activities of Kim and his government remain unknown. Even details such as what year he was born, and whether he did indeed attend a Western school under a pseudonym, are difficult to confirm.
Kenji Fujimoto Kenji Fujimoto (藤本 健二 , Fujimoto Kenji , born 1947) is the pen name of a Japanese chef who claimed that he was former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's personal sushi chef from 1988 to 2001. Fujimoto published a memoir in 2003 entitled "I was Kim Jong-il's Cook", detailing many of his experiences with Kim Jong-il. Many people doubted the veracity of his claim. However, Fujimoto, contrary to the prevailing consensus of experts on North Korean politics, asserted that Kim Jong-un (who was relatively unknown at that time), rather than Kim Jong-nam, would be appointed as Jong-il's successor. Fujimoto's prediction proved true when Jong-un succeeded his father as Supreme Leader in December 2011.
