Ko Yong-hui Biography

Ko Yong-hui is one of the most popular and richest Dancer who was born on June 16, 1953 in Ikuno Ward, Japan.

Ko Yong-hui (Korean: 고용희 ; Hanja: 高容姬 ; 26 June 1952 – 13 August 2004), also spelled Ko Young-hee, was the North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-il’s consort and the mother of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un. Within North Korea she is only referred to by titles, such as “The Respected Mother who is the Most Faithful and Loyal ‘Subject’ to the Dear Leader Comrade Supreme Commander”, “The Mother of Pyongyang”, and “The Mother of Great Songun Korea.”

It is thought that Ko and Kim Jong-il first met in 1972. In 1981, Ko gave birth to son Kim Jong-chul, her first child with Kim. It was Kim’s fourth child, after daughter Kim Hye-gyong (born 1968 to Hong Il-chon), son Kim Jong-nam (born 1971 to Song Hye-rim), and daughter Kim Sol-song (born 1974 to Kim Young-sook). Kim Jong-il’s second child with Ko, the present North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un, followed one to three years after Jong-chul. Their third child, Kim Yo-jong, a daughter, was believed to be about 23 in 2012. However, the birth year of Kim Yo-jong is also given as 1987.
