The Kim dynasty is a three-generation lineage of North Korean leadership descending from the country's first leader, Kim Il-sung, in 1948. Kim came to rule the North after the end of Japanese control in 1945 split the region. He began the Korean War in 1950 in an attempt to reunify the peninsula. Kim developed a cult of personality closely tied to their state philosophy of Juche, which was passed on to his successors: his son Kim Jong-il and grandson Kim Jong-un. ==Overview== Unlike governance in all other Communist countries, North Korea's governance is comparable to a royal family.〔 The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea since 1948〔 for three generations,〔 and still little about the family is publicly confirmed.〔 Kim Il-sung rebelled against Korea's Japanese rule in the 1930s, which led to his involvement and training in the Soviet Union. Korea was left divided after Japan's post-World War II withdrawal in 1945, and Kim came to lead the Soviet-backed North's provisional government, eventually becoming the first premier of its new government, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (known as North Korea), in 1948. He started the Korean War in 1950 with hopes to reunify the region.〔 Kim developed a personality cult that contributed to his uncontested 46-year rule〔 and extended to his family, including his mother Kang Pan-sok (known as the "mother of Korea"), his brother ("the revolutionary fighter") and his first wife (the "mother of the revolution").〔 The strong and absolute leadership of a solitary great leader, known as the ''Suryong'', is central to the North Korean ideology of Juche. After Kim Il-sung's 1994 death, a 1998 constitutional change wrote the presidency out of the constitution and named him as Eternal President of the Republic in order to honor his memory forever.〔 Kim Il-sung was known as the Great Leader,〔 and his eldest son and successor, Kim Jong-il,〔 became known as the Dear Leader〔 and later the Great General.〔Behnke, Alison (2008) ''Kim Jong Il's North Korea''〕 Kim Jong-il was appointed to the party's Politburo (and its Presidium), Secretariat and the Central Military Commission at the 6th Congress in 1980, which formalized his role as heir apparent.〔 He led their military beginning in 1990,〔 and had a 14-year grooming period before he became North Korea's ruler.〔 Kim had a sister, Kim Kyung-hee, who was North Korea's first female four-star general and married to Jang Sung-taek, who was the second most powerful person in North Korea before his December 2013 execution for corruption.〔 Kim had four partners,〔 and at least five children with three of them.〔 His third son, Kim Jong-un, succeeded him.〔 Scholar Virginie Grzelczyk wrote that the Kim Dynasty represented "one of the last bastions of totalitarianism as well as perhaps 'the first Communist Dynasty'". The North Korean government denies that there is a personality cult surrounding the Kims. Rather, it claims that the people's devotion to the Kims is a manifestation of genuine hero worship.〔Jason LaBouyer ("When friends become enemies — Understanding left-wing hostility to the DPRK" ) Lodestar.
