What was North Korea like before Kim Jong Sung took power?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’m not sure which one you mean. The three names are • Kim Il-sung (installed in 1948) • Kim Jong-il (succeeded in 1994) • Kim Jong-un (succeeded in 2012) There are variants on the spelling because Korean is not written in our (Roman) alphabet, but the name you gave is sort of a blend. Even though it can be hard to get a clear picture because North Korea has its own version of history, there are books and other sources on the subject. There’s a lot of information in the book called Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, by Barbara Demick. It’s mostly about people struggling to survive under the current regime, which began with Kim Il-sung, continued with his son Kim Jong-il, and is now led by his grandson Kim Jong-un. But there is a chapter that covers the history of how Kim Il-sung came to power when Korea was divided into North and South in 1948 and he became the leader of North Korea.
