In this June 4, 2010, file photo, dressed in jeans and blue suede loafers, Kim Jong Nam, the eldest son of then North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, waves after his first-ever interview with South Korean media in Macau.
South Korea has accused North Korea of orchestrating Kim`s death on behalf of the North`s leader Kim Jong Un.
But he fell out of favor with his father, which led to exile, and his younger paternal half-brother ? Kim Jong Un, 33 ? assumed the role on Kim the elder`s death in 2011.
