ELI5: How did the Kim Jong family Un's family obtain total control of North Korea?
gpt
Because his grandfather, Kim-Il Sung had soviet backing during the WWII and the Cold War.  He was set up as the leader of the Korean Communist Party and given control of the soviet-occupied territories in Korea, AKA North Korea.  He was able to consolidate his power, and his family's been in power ever since.
