It has been an interesting topic that I couldn't find an exact answer to.

I am not calling them the “Kim Dynasty,” like anticommunist propaganda says, but I find it rather unusual that the family of the founding leader is the “face” of the DPRK.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't be politicians; I just find it interesting since the other AES states don't/didn't have that dynamic.

I feel like it's one of the biggest missteps of Soviet Union - it didn't raised new wave of leaders and such, that could lead country towards communism. I don't mean like it should have been their children, but it certanly would have been easier to raise your own child to have qualities similliar to you, to raise your child to be fitting to the role of next leader of revolution. And I belive that's what DPRK revolutionaries noticed that too and it's their solution. It does has it's risks of children being corrupt and/or spoiled, but it it seems to work, especially because in this case those children should be qualified for their position and they recieve no special treatment.

Also Korea does have a clan thing, so that maybe part of it?

I might be absolutely wrong on this, and would be glad to be corrected if thar's the case, but that's how I see the reason why
