North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un believed to have turned 40

Kim Jong Un's presumed birth date, meanwhile, has always passed quietly without mention in media or on the country's calendars. The closest North Korea has come to confirming the date came in January 2020 after authorities acknowledged Kim had received birthday greetings from then-U.S. President Donald Trump, though they did not mention the exact date. This year, state news agency KCNA on Monday showed Kim visiting a chicken farm with his daughter and senior officials.
