The mysterious death of the half-brother of the leader of North Korea. Kim Jong-Nam - biography

How many will voluntarily give up the opportunity to live, bathe in wealth, not to deny yourself anything and literally to decide the destinies of people?

Apparently, Kim Jong-Nam is just such a representative of humanity who saw happiness is not at all in power.

Birth characteristic

Kim Jong-Nam is the son of the leader of the DPRK, who died in 2011, Kim Jong Il. The boy was born in 1971 in the capital of his homeland, the city of Pyongyang.

The undisputed ruler at that time was the founder of the DPRK - Kim Il Sung. Chen Ir was just one of many pretenders to the "throne" and led an active struggle for the favor of his father.

According to the principles of totalitarian society, the wife for the owner of such a high status should have been chosen ideologically correctly, the young man could not have his own choice.

But you can not order your heart - Chen-il could not live without his beloved Song Hye Rome. For her sake, she even left the family and soon gave birth to a son. Parents had to literally hide their relationship, and Chon Nama from his grandfather - his reaction could be unpredictable. In the worst case, Chen Ir would have been excluded from the race of heirs, which was unacceptable for such an ambitious man.

Growing up

Already the baby Chon Nam almost was not kidnapped by his own aunt - Kim Kyung-hee. An ambitious woman actively wanted to take part in running the country, and the young heir would be a very serious trump card in her desires. However, her insidious plan was not narrowed to come true.

Nevertheless, Chen Ir was still forced to hide his firstborn from his father. Chon Nam had little contact with his peers, lived in isolation, studied exclusively personally. But it is worth noting that Chen Ir loved his son and spent most of his time with him.

According to rumors, Irene knew about his wife, and about the heir, and was not against them. But it was not possible to say that it was true.

Education abroad

In the late seventies, Kim Jong-Nam went outside the DPRK for a long ten years. During this time he managed to live in the USSR, and learn in Switzerland. He learned several foreign languages and saw firsthand the difference between settling life in his native North Korea and Europe.

Upon his return, Chon Nam clearly made it clear to his father that he was completely uninterested in managing the state. Art attracted him. The young man, in particular, was very attracted to the director's craft. Chen Ir was furious and almost never sent his son to labor camps.

Party work

In 1994, Chen Ir became the legitimate leader of the state. His son was given important positions, he had access to unlimited money.

But life in the DPRK Chon Nama did not deceive, and my father knew about it. At the end of the last decade of the twentieth century, the son left the country and started a family business in Asia. In particular, his task was to conceal his father's illegal income.

No one could have thought that the frequenter of casinos and nightclubs was the heir of the dynasty. Most often he was seen in Macao and Beijing.

A family

What kindred ties did Kim Jong-Nam have? Biography says that he was married, and he even had several children.

But much more interesting is not the personal life of Chon Nama, but the presence of brothers and sisters.

In 1979, the same year, when the budding heir to the throne left abroad, his father, Chen Yir, was forced to fill his spiritual emptiness.

The result of the novel with his new passion, Kon Yong Hee, became three children, the most famous being the current ruler of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un.

Selecting an heir

At the beginning of the new century, only lazy media did not touch upon the scandal that occurred with Kim Jong Nam at the Tokyo airport. He was identified on border control with a forged passport.

This incident allegedly became the final cause of the loss of confidence of his father in favor of his half-brother.

But if you go a little deeper into this topic, then everything becomes not so categorical.

Did Kim Jong-Nam want power? His photos clearly show that he wanted to look like the most ordinary man, he enjoyed life, travel. The palace intrigues did not interest him much.

Both he and his half-brothers often crossed the borders of other states on fake passports with fictitious names. Both Kim Jong-Nam and Kem Jong-un were trained in Switzerland incognito.

Most likely, there were tacit agreements between the leaders of countries on non-disclosure of the identity and admission to non-existent identity cards. Obviously, at the head of the corner was a certain interest, which allowed to turn a blind eye to the travel features of the Kimov family.

Why did the puncture occur in Tokyo? Perhaps, Japan wanted to annoy the head of state, for a long time was under its protectorate. But most likely, this is only a planned game.

Mysterious death

Chen Yir died in 2011, and his place was taken by Kim Jong-un.

Kim Jong Nam safely departed for Macau, where he spent most of his time with his family. He was an unobtrusive man who occasionally gave interviews with soft criticism of the authority of his half-brother.

13.02.2017 the attention of all the media of the world was riveted to a very mysterious death at the airport in Malaysia.

Events developed as follows: two women threw a handkerchief with an unknown substance on the passenger's face. Fifteen minutes later he died suddenly.

The Malaysian government confirmed that this is the first son of Chen Yir.

There are many questions after the murder: who was the customer, why this crime was committed, why in a crowded place and in such a strange way.

The main version: the leader of the DPRK took revenge on a relative who was unflattering about his rule, for which he sent a specially trained special forces detachment to carry out a special mission.

According to another theory, which finds many admirers, the murder was staged in order to hide the life of Chon Nam from the intrusive journalists. In fact, Chon Nam dramatically changed his appearance and once again changed his passport to a new fictitious name.
