Kim Jong-chul Biography
Kim Jong-chul is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 25, 1981 in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Kim Jong-chul (born 25 September 1981), sometimes spelled Kim Jong Chol, is a son of former North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il. His younger brother is Kim Jong-un. His older half-brother Kim Jong-nam was assassinated in February 2017.
In February 2003, moves began to raise the profile of Kim Jong-chul. The Korean People’s Army began a propaganda campaign using the slogan “The Respected Mother is the Most Faithful and Loyal Subject to the Dear Leader Comrade Supreme Commander”. Since the “Respected Mother” was described as “[devoting] herself to the personal safety of the comrade supreme commander”, and “[assisting] the comrade supreme commander nearest to his body”, Western analysts assume that the “Respected Mother” was Ko Yong-hui, mother of Kim Jong-chul and Kim Jong-un. A similar campaign was launched in praise of Kim Jong-il’s mother during the later years of Kim Il-sung’s life. This suggested that Kim Jong-chul, despite his youth, had emerged with Army backing to be a serious contender to succeed his father.
Kim Jong-chul was born in 1981. He is the son of Kim Jong-il and companion Ko Yong-hui, who died in 2004. Until 2001, it was assumed that Kim Jong-il’s eventual heir would be his eldest son, Kim Jong-nam, whose mother was Song Hye-rim. But in May 2001, Kim Jong-nam was arrested at Narita International Airport, Japan, travelling on a forged Dominican Republic passport. He was held and then deported to the People’s Republic of China. The incident caused Kim Jong-il to cancel a planned visit to China because of the embarrassment to both countries. As a result of this incident, Kim Jong-nam fell from favour.
