Kim Jong Un tours a housing complex in Pyongyang, North Korea.

US officials are most likely heavily monitoring North Korea's activities, so you'd probably think we'd already have basic information on their leader, Kim Jong Un. However, it wasn't until yesterday that the US Treasury Department, after placing sanctions on Kim, officially identified his date of birth as January 8, 1984.

So he's 32 years-old.

In doing so, the Treasury Department added his information into its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list - a compilation of individuals and companies owned or controlled by targeted countries. After being added, the individual's assets would be blocked, and US citizens would be prohibited from dealing with them.
