It has been reported that Kim Jong-Nam had two wives, and one mistress, and had at least six children. His first wife, Shin Jong-hui (born c. 1980), lives at a home called Dragon Villa on the northern outskirts of Beijing.
His second wife, Lee Hye-Kyong (born c. 1970), their son Han-sol (born 1995), and their daughter Sol-hui (born c. 1998) lived in a modest 12-story apartment building in Macau; his mistress, former Air Koryo flight attendant So Yong-la (born c. 1980), also lives in Macau. He had several tattoos, including two dragons.
The friend added: “Kim Jong Nam had a bright personality but he grew depressed after Jang Song Thaek was executed and often said ‘life is so sad’ and expressed dismay at how his uncle was killed.”
