Notes:
- ↑ To keep the tree of manageable size, it omits some members, e. g., brothers and sisters of Kim Jong-il.
- ↑ Names of Supreme Leaders of the DPRK (and the name of the article being viewed if any) are in bold font.
- ↑ Korean names often have a variety of transliterations into English, which can be confusing. For example, "Kim Jong-chul" may also be written "Gim Jeong-cheol" or "Kim Jŏng-ch'ŏl" among many other variations. See Korean romanization for more information.

- 1 2 3 4 Official biographies of Kim Jong-suk and Kim Jong-il give birth years of 1917 and 1942, respectively, while Kim Jong-un's birth year may actually be 1984. Kim Ju-ae may have been born in late 2012 or early 2013.
