Kim Jong-il was born in 1941 in the Soviet Union. North Korea’s official biographies state his year of birth as 1942 and his birthplace as Korea. He was the leader of North Korea for over a decade. Since Kim was not actually the president, he never had to hold elections to keep power. He died from natural causes in December 2011.
North Koreans learn that a double rainbow over the mountains and a new star in the heavens announced Kim Jong-il’s birth. They are also taught that he was the world’s greatest and kindest ruler. They call him "Dear Leader". It is extremely dangerous for any North Korean to say anything negative about him. He was leader of the world’s fourth largest army.
