The "House of Kim" refers to the ruling family of North Korea, established by Kim Il-sung, the country's founding leader. This dynasty has maintained power since the country's establishment in 1948, with each generation continuing the family's legacy. The current leader, Kim Jong-un, is the grandson of Kim Il-sung and has been in power since 2011. The House of Kim is known for its strong cult of personality, where leaders are often portrayed as infallible figures. The regime emphasizes military strength and strict control over the population, with significant emphasis on Juche, a state ideology promoting self-reliance.
