A photograph of a group of senior officials from the North Korean Workers' Party was published today in the Rodong Sinmun, the country's main newspaper.
Underneath, a caption listed Kim Jong-un as one of the people seated in the group.
Until now, Kim Jong-un has been such a secretive figure that the world was not even sure of his existence until he was 20 years-old. The only mention of the younger Kim came in a biography by a Japanese sushi chef who had worked for the Kim household in Pyongyang.
The only other glimpse of the 28-year-old, who was promoted this week to a variety of key positions in the North Korean hierarchy, is a grainy video shot while he was a teenager at boarding school in Switzerland.
Although Kim Jong-il, 68, remains North Korea's leader, he has promoted his third son to be vice-chairman of the Central Military Committee and to be a four-star general. The move places the younger Kim squarely in position to succeed his father.

I think NK finally learned how to successfully clone a human being and they're just passing off Kim Jong Un as Jong Il's son but it's actually his younger clone....
