As mentioned earlier, new sanctions have been introduced, but there are not many prospects that the North Korean system will be shaken. This is because Kim Jong-un, who came to power after the sudden death of his father in December 2011, 10 years ago, has been reborn as an absolute leader from an anxious twenties. We will summarize the 10 years of Kim Jong-un over the next four times.

General Secretary Kim, who purged Ri Young-ho after six months in power, set out to tame the military.



Middle-ranking officers in their 4s and 50s were trained to swim in the sea, and the ranks of the censorship department were often demoted.



[Chosun Central TV (July 2, 2014): (Comrade Kim Jong-un) said that commanders are not qualified to be commanders if they do not meet their physical abilities.] The



events that have decisively influenced Kim Jong-un's establishment of absolute power over the past 10 years are: It was the purge of his uncle Jang Seong-taek.



[Chosun Central TV (December 13, 2013): The tortured Jang Seong-taek was sentenced to death.] As



Jang Seong-taek, who wielded great power, was purged, it became clear that no one could survive if he challenged Kim Jong-un. It became clear.



The appearance of executives in their 70s and 80s automatically standing up in response to the words of General Secretary Kim at the meeting suggests the power of Kim Jong-un.
