Thousands in North Korea Rally to Support Kim Jong-un, Nuclear Plans
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — North Korean leader is believed to turn 33 or 34 on Sunday, as his age is concealed.

According to the NHK World news outlet, Kim's birthday was not proclaimed as a national holiday and no special events were organized, despite the October reports on large-scale celebrations.

Some experts believe North Korean leadership was seeking to portray Kim as a "humble leader."

In 2014, Kim's birthday celebrations were marked by former basketball player Dennis Rodman's singing "Happy Birthday" to him in Pyongyang.

Kim Jong-un became North Korean leader in 2011 after the death of his father Kim Jong II.
