Kim Jong-woon (born 1983) is the supposed third son of Kim Jong-il with his partner Ko Young-hee. He is reportedly known as the "Morning Star King", probably under the instruction of his mother. As of May 2001, the existence of Kim was still unknown to BBC.
Kim Jong-il's former chef, Kenji Fujimoto revealed details of Kim Jong-woon, stating that he is favoured to be his father's successor. Fujimoto also claimed that Jong-woon is favoured by his father ahead of his older brother Jong-chul, reasoning that Jong-chul is too feminine in terms of his character, while Jong-woon is "exactly like his father".
