Kim dynasty (North Korea) The Kim dynasty, officially called the Mount Baektu Bloodline, 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 entire peninsula. Kim developed a cult of personality closely tied to their state philosophy of "Juche", which was later passed on to his successors: his son Kim Jong-il and grandson Kim Jong-un.

Kenji Fujimoto Kenji Fujimoto (藤本 健二 , Fujimoto Kenji , born 1947) is the pen name of a Japanese chef who claimed that he was former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's personal sushi chef from 1988 to 2001. Fujimoto published a memoir in 2003 entitled "I was Kim Jong-il's Cook", detailing many of his experiences with Kim Jong-il. Many people doubted the veracity of his claim. However, Fujimoto, contrary to the prevailing consensus of experts on North Korean politics, asserted that Kim Jong-un (who was relatively unknown at that time), rather than Kim Jong-nam, would be appointed as Jong-il's successor. Fujimoto's prediction proved true when Jong-un succeeded his father as Supreme Leader in December 2011.

Party Founding Museum The Party Founding Museum is a museum located in the Central District of Pyongyang, North Korea, on the south side of Mt. Haebang. The building was constructed by the Japanese occupation government in 1923. It was used as the South P'yŏngan Provincial Products Exhibition. After his return to Korea after World War II, Kim Il-sung is alleged to have founded the Korean Worker's Party in this building on October 10, 1945, and here were held many of that group's first meetings. Thus, in October 1970 it was turned into a museum dedicated to his exploits. Nearby, and also part of the museum, is the modest house he inhabited during his early days as president of North Korea.
