Kim Il-Sung joined the communist resistance against Japanese occupation in the 1930s and fought in the Korean War (1950-1953) against South Korean and American forces.

'''Kim Il-Sung''' passed away on July 8, 1994, but his legacy endures in North Korean politics and culture, where he is revered as the "Eternal President." His son, Kim Jong-Il, succeeded him in power, and subsequently, his grandson, Kim Jong-Un, assumed leadership of the country, maintaining the political system and personality cult established by Kim Il-Sung.

He is the third and youngest son of Kim Jong-il, the leader of North Korea, and assumed the position of the country's supreme leader in December 2011 following his father's death.

'''Kim Jong-un''' was educated in Switzerland and kept a low profile until his rise to power. Under his leadership, North Korea has continued with authoritarian and repressive policies, including the development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, which have generated tensions in the international community.

His leadership has been a subject of debate and concern in international politics due to issues related to human rights and global security.

It is based upon 4 principles made by '''Kim Il-sung''' that are to arm the entire population, fortify the state, train every soldier to become a cadre, and to modernize the entire military sector. The government puts the military as the top priority in resource allocation and for consideration in government policy and decision making.
