Meaning if you are bearing a similar name to his, you should apply for change of name.
North Korea has ordered people on the country who share the name of leader Kim Jong Un to change their names, a report by South Korea's state-run KBS television on Wednesday, according to Reuter.
"The ban is highly possible since North Korea had the same policy in the era of Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung," a ministry official said.
North Korea has ordered people on the country who share the name of leader Kim Jong Un to change their names, a report by South Korea's state-run KBS television on Wednesday, according to Reuter.
North Korea imposed similar bans on the use of the names of its two former leaders, Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, and grandfather, Kim Il Sung, as part of propaganda drives to build cults of personality around them.
Kim Jong Un's name is not allowed for newborns and people who share the name must not just stop using it but must change it on their birth certificates and residence registrations, KBS reported, citing an official North Korean directive.
"The ban is highly possible since North Korea had the same policy in the era of Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung," a ministry official said.
