Kim Jong-un is Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), commonly referred to as North Korea.
Kim Jong-un is the second child of former Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il (1941–2011) and his consort Ko Yong-hui,[1] and was officially declared the Supreme Leader following the state funeral of his father on 28 December 2011.[2]
Hydrogen bomb
On 3 September 2017, in a surprise announcement on state TV, North Korea said it had tested a powerful hydrogen bomb that could be loaded on to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), in a move that is expected to increase pressure on US President Donald Trump to defuse the growing nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula.
Pyongyang said the test, its sixth since 2006, had been a “complete success” and involved a two-stage thermonuclear weapon of unprecedented strength. There has been no independent verification of North Korea’s claims that it has achieved a key goal in its nuclear programme – the ability to miniaturise a warhead so that it can fit on a long-distance missile. The regime has earlier released footage of what it said was a hydrogen bomb that would be loaded on to a new ICBM.
The TV announcement, which was accompanied by patriotic music and images of North Korean landscape and military hardware, said the test had been ordered by the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un.[3]
