Juche, officially the '''Juche idea''', is a name of the official ideology of North Korea and its ruling Workers Party of Korea. It is also described as the philosophical principle of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

North Korean sources attribute its conceptualization to Kim Il Sung, the country's founder and first leader. Juche was originally regarded as a variant of Marxism–Leninism until Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung's son and successor, declared it a distinct ideology in the 1970s. Kim Jong Il further developed Juche in the 1980s and 1990s by making ideological breaks from Marxism–Leninism and increasing the importance of his father's ideas.
