The definition of expatriatesis "a person who resides outside their country of citizenship."
That is what Wikipedia says, and Marriam-Webster seems to back it up too (if we ignore definition 1, which is definitely not the case we are using this for).
Kim Jong Un has an older brother who was born on September 25, 1981 (also, happy belated birthday to him), so he could not possibly have been born in 1982 given his birthday of January 8th. BombCraft8(talk) (contributions)02:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kim Jong Un was born in 1984. His uncle and aunt, who defected from North Korea in 1998 have confirmed the birth year. That's why the US listes his birth year as 1984. This should be added to the page, even as another reason for the US's year of birth.
Not done: The US stopped using the 1984 date because the ROK gave more reliable intelligence for 1983. Just so we're clear, the quote of the uncle and aunt "confirming" the birth year is:
"They can reveal, for example, that Kim Jong Un was born in 1984 — not 1982 or 1983, as has been widely thought. The reason they're certain? It was the same year that their first son was born. 'He and my son were playmates from birth. I changed both of their diapers,' Ko said with a laugh."
