Kim Jong Un's Teenage Years in Switzerland
December 1, 2025
Kim Jong Un spent five years of his teenage life in Switzerland under a false identity. He attended a public school and lived a 'normal' life, far removed from his closed dynasty. He had access to everything he desired, such as PlayStation and movies, but his education was always under the watchful eye of Swiss authorities. This phase of his life ended when he needed to return to North Korea due to his mother’s health issues. The contrast between this phase of his life and his later leadership creates an intriguing story.
