Kim Jong-un Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Kim Jong-un has been on a tear with weapons and diplomacy as 2025 winds down, insiders say. Just days ago, he toured key munitions factories with top brass, ordering a massive ramp-up in missile and shell production for 2026, plus new plants to match his militarys surging demands, according to Koreas state-run KCNA via Le Monde and Firstpost reports. He called the missile sector paramount for his war deterrent, right after overseeing tests of two long-range strategic cruise missiles over the Sea of Japan, which experts like those at the Korea Institute for National Unification tie to upgrades for nuclear or conventional strikes and possible arms boosts to ally Russia amid its Ukraine push. North Korean media hailed it as a solid check on readiness, with Kim vowing fresh modernization plans at his Workers Party congress early next year.
Hes capped a blockbuster year of visibility, logging 131 public appearances by December 27 per Korea Institute data cited by Yonhap, Korea JoongAng Daily, and NewKerala, the most in nine years, fueled by on-site factory inspections, regional hospital openings under his 20x10 policy, and 21 military events despite a dip from 2024. No fresh outings in the last 24 hours, but on Saturday he fired off New Years greetings to comrade Putin via KCNA, as covered by Times of India, gushing over their blood-life-and-death alliance in the same trench, with North Korean troops backing Moscows fight and Russia repaying in tech and aid. This Russia pact, now etched in history, could define Kims bio for generations, signaling Pyongyangs geopolitical pivot.
