Kim Jong-ji held several top positions, dying at the age of centuries.
SOUL. Kim Jongju, the younger brother of DPRK founder Kim Irsen, once considered the second most powerful figure in the country, died in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The AP reported on Wednesday, referring to the North Korean state media.
The exact date is unknown
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Irsen’s grandson, expressed “deep condolences” over his death, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
“Kim Jong-ji has been committed to implementing the Korean Labor Party’s policies and policies, having held important positions in the party and the state for many years,” KCNA said.
KCNA did not say when Kim Jong-ji died. According to the South Korean Ministry of Unification, he was born in 1920, which means he was 100 or 101 years old at the time of his death.

Three ruling generations
Since the founding of North Korea, Kim Irsen has ruled the country for three generations of the Kim family. When Kim Ir-sen died in 1994, his eldest son Kim Jong-il took over the country. Kim Jong-un is the third and youngest son of Kim Jong-il and became the leader of the DPRK after the death of his father in 2011.
During Kim Irsen’s rule, many foreign experts considered Kim Jongju to be the second most powerful representative of the North or even a possible successor to his brother.
Kim Jong-ji held several top positions: he was director of the organizational and advisory department and a member of the politburo of the ruling Korean Labor Party.
