25 Mind-Blowing Facts About Kim Jong-Un

18. He Has Three Dates Of Birth

Officially, Kim Jong-un was born on January 8, 1983. However, there is some contention as to whether or not this date of birth is accurate or not.

Some reports claim the Supreme Leader was actually born in 1982, while others state it was 1984 - but so secretive was his upbringing that no-one can quite be sure.

17. Kim Jong Un Is (Probably) The World's Youngest Head Of State

Frighteningly, if Kim Jong-un is in his early 30s, then he is likely the youngest head of state in the world. The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Garibashvili, is six-and-a-half months older, while the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is the third-youngest premier.

However, if Kim Jong-un was actually born in 1982 then he would be the second-youngest leader behind Garibashvili, although evidence suggests he is more likely to be 31 or 32.
