"Speculation Surrounds North Korea's Kim Jong Un's Age as He Turns 40"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's 40th birthday passed without any official mention from the secretive regime, continuing the decades-long silence on his birth date. While the U.S. government lists his birth year as 1984, North Korea has never confirmed the exact date. State media instead showed Kim visiting a chicken farm with his daughter and senior officials, as South Korea's intelligence agency suggests that his daughter, known as Ju-ae, may be a potential successor.
