Introduction

Kim Song-ae was Kim Il-sung's third wife and served as his secretary before marrying him in 1952 during the Korean War. As the conflict was ongoing, no formal wedding ceremony was held. In the 1960s, she began appearing on the political stage as North Korea's First Lady and became Vice Chair and Chair of the North Korean Women's League. In 1980, she was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, making her a nominal state leader.
