Kim Il Sung was the founder and first leader of North Korea.
Jane Portal, the author of Art Under Control in North Korea, assesses that: "[i]t is probably the case that Kim Il-sung [had] more buildings named after him during his lifetime than any other leader in history".
[1] North Korea claims that "[m]ore than 480 streets, institutions and organizations in 100 countries were named after Kim Il Sung".
[2] Since Kim Il Sung's name Il-sung (Korean: 일성; Hancha: 日成) can mean "the Sun", many things named after him are actually called this way.
