North Korea's Kim Jong Il Photos

North Korean President Kim Il Sung, left, talks to his son, Kim Jong Il, while visiting a sports complex in 1992. Kim Il Sung died July 8, 1994, at age 82. Kim Jong Il did not formally take power until three years later, but he was unquestionably the new leader following his father's death. The flow of information out of the communist nation is sparse, and there are few verifiable details on the lives of either man.
