Korean spy reveals shocking secret of Kim Jong-un

According to South Korean intelligence sources, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has a son, 7 years old this year, who will succeed his father as leader of the country.

The London Sunday Times quoted a South Korean spy as saying that Kim Jong-un's eldest child, believed to have been born in 2010, is a boy instead of a girl as previously reported.

South Korean spies said the boy, known only as "Kim", was of paektu bloodline. The sex of the child has been important since Kim Jong-un's grandfather Kim Il-sung founded North Korea and created its "Juche" ideology.

The shocking information was discovered when South Korean spies learned that the wife of the North Korean leader, a former singer, Ri Sol-ju, had just given birth to her third child in February. This third child is a girl.

The surprising revelation about Kim Jong-un's successor was announced hours before North Korea shocked the world by announcing the successful test of a hydrogen bomb.

Kim Jong-un is the third generation of the Kim family to have led North Korea since its founding in 1948.

Previously, the first information about Kim Jong-un's family was revealed by former American basketball star David Rodman after he visited his "friend Kim" in Pyongyang. Rodman said that Kim Jong-un's second child is a girl, and praised Kim Jong-un as a good father.
