North Korean President Kim Jong-un\u2019s brother Kim Jong-nam was assassinated on February 13. He was waiting at the airport for a flight in Kuala Lumpur. He was supposed to head to Macau, where he was living all his life. While the autopsy results are still pending, it is suspected that Jong-nam was poisoned by two women who attacked him at the airport. People have started talking about the possibility of Jong-un being responsible for his brother\u2019s death. Nevertheless, not everyone is aware that the North Korean president has another brother, Kim Jong-chul.<\/p>\n

Neither Kim Jong-nam nor Kim Jong-chul attended the funeral of their father Kim Jong-il. According to ancient North Korean traditions, potential successors are brought up in separate locations. Reports suggest that these three never met one another. It is believed that they did not attend their father\u2019s funeral for the same reason. President Kim Jong-un\u2019s brothers, Jong-nam and Jong-chul, hardly made public appearances.<\/p>\n

Kim Jong-chul As Potential Successor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kim Jong-chul is Kim Jong-il\u2019s second son. He was born from the North Korean leader\u2019s second wife, Ko Yong-hee. Jong-nam is Jong-il\u2019s first son. While it is common for the first son to become the successor by default, it is interesting how the leader\u2019s youngest son Kim Jong-un became North Korea\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

Kim Jong-nam turned out to be too irresponsible to be the successor. When he was arrested at Narita Airport in Tokyo in 2001, he was carrying a false Dominican Republic passport for travel. It was that time when Jong-nam, who was once his father\u2019s favorite son, fell out of favor. Jong-il had to choose between Jong-un, who was a vice chairman of the Workers Party\u2019s Central Military Commission and a four-star general, and Jong-chul, who was more into music than politics.<\/p>\n
