| As a teenager, Kim Jong-un was sent to boarding school in Switzerland, where he studied under the pseudonym Pak-un and was nominally the son of a North Korean embassy employee. Photo: BI. |
 |
| At that time, student Pak-un was described by his classmates as a quiet, reserved person who liked playing video games, basketball, and loved Jackie Chan's movies. Photo: BI. |
 |
| A classmate of Kim Jong-un said that at that time, he had never seen Kim Jong-un drink a drop of alcohol and did not socialize with girlfriends. Photo: BI. |
 |
| The young Kim Jong-un was also described as being very fond of music, especially the songs of his native North Korea. He also sang the North Korean national anthem to his friends many times. Photo: BI. |
 |
| However, in 2000, the North Korean student "Pak-un" suddenly dropped out of school. Upon returning to North Korea, Kim Jong-un attended Kim Il Sung Military University with his brother. Some reports say they began participating in military field inspections with their father around 2007. Photo: BI. |

| While his father was dying, Kim Jong-un was quickly promoted to political and military leadership, despite having little experience. According to the BBC, he was appointed as a four-star general, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party and a member of the Central Committee. Photo: BI. |

| Many North Koreans see Kim Jong-un as a younger version of the "Great Leader" Kim Il Sung. Kim bears a striking resemblance to his grandfather Kim Il Sung in appearance, hairstyle and style. Photo: BI. |

| After his father's death, Kim Jong-un was quickly declared "Supreme Leader" of North Korea. When Kim Jong-il died of a heart attack on December 17, 2011, the young Kim Jong-un inherited command of the military, a nuclear arsenal and absolute control of North Korea. Photo: BI. |
