کیم ایل-sung was the founding leader of North Korea, serving as its Prime Minister from 1948 and later as its President until his death in 1994. He played a crucial role in establishing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and was a key figure during the Korean War (1950-1953). His leadership style was characterized by a strong emphasis on Juche, a self-reliant ideology. He was known for cultivating a personality cult, with extensive propaganda promoting his image and achievements. After his death, he was succeeded by his son, کیم جونگ-il, who continued his policies. Kim Il-sung's legacy remains influential in North Korean politics today.
