List of things named after Kim Il-sung
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". North Korea claims that "[m]ore than 480 streets, institutions and organizations in 100 countries were named after Kim Il Sung". Since Kim Il-sung's name "Il-sung" () can mean "the Sun", many things named after him are actually called this way.
