Kim Jong-nam

Son of Kim Jong Il (1971–2017)

Kim Jong-nam (Korean: 김정남, Korean: [kim.dzɔŋ.nam]; 10 May 1971 – 13 February 2017) was the eldest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. From roughly 1994 to 2001, he was considered the heir apparent to his father. He was thought to have fallen out of favor after embarrassing the regime in 2001 with a failed attempt to visit Tokyo Disneyland with a false passport, although Kim himself said his loss of favor had been due to advocating reform. Kim Jong-nam was exiled from North Korea c. 2003, becoming an occasional critic of his family's regime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-nam
