Kim Han-sol (Korean: 김한솔, born 16 June 1995) is the eldest son of Kim Jong-nam and a grandson of the former North Korean ruler Kim Jong Il. His father was the unofficial heir apparent until he fell out of favor with the regime after a failed attempt to secretly visit Tokyo Disneyland in May 2001.
Kim Han-sol's half-uncle, Kim Jong Un, was named the heir apparent in September 2010, and succeeded Kim Jong Il upon the latter's death in December 2011. Since his father's assassination in 2017, he has been under the protective custody of the United States Central Intelligence Agency and is reportedly living in the United States.
