Kim Jong Un

In 2020, he ordered all pet dogs to be confiscated in the capital of Pyongyang, saying the pooches represent Western “decadence” — but their owners feared their Fidos were really just headed for someone’s dinner table amid a food crisis.

When his father, Kim Jong Il, died in 2011, he made sure mourning was mandatory. He ordered those who were caught blowing off remembrance events to be sent to labor camps for up to six months. The third Kim to hold power in North Korea, he reportedly had plastic surgery at age 27 to look more like his grandfather, who founded the republic.

His trademark haircut is reportedly one of 28 approved cuts for men in North Korea, and even has a name — Ambitious. It was reportedly a shout-out to his grandfather, Kim Il Sung. However, a news report from 2017, when only 15 hairstyles supposedly were approved, said Kim’s flat-top ‘do was off-limits to commoners.

Even Kim’s love life is shrouded in mystery. He reportedly married 23-year-old former cheerleader Ri Sol Ju in 2009, but the match wasn’t made public until 2012. He was also rumored to be romantically involved with pop star Hyon Song-wol, whose hit songs included “I Love Pyongyang” — apparently a quick way to the dictator’s heart. Though Ri Sol Ju has appeared in public with Kim in recent years, she wields little political power in the Hermit Kingdom.

Kim hasn’t been shy about taking out his family — including his brother — to keep his hold on power. His oldest half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, was deemed too Western to take over the country and lived in exile for years. He was killed in a cloak-and-dagger hit at a Malaysian airport in 2017, when two women walked up to him and brushed a liquid on his face, which turned out to be a deadly chemical nerve agent. The well-planned assassination reportedly was carried out on Kim’s orders.

The dictator’s second-oldest half-brother, Kim Jong Chul, was also passed over. Kim’s father’s former personal chef told Newsweek in 2018 that Jong Chul was “no good because he is like a little girl.” A South Korean intelligence worker told the news outlet that he suffered from “an excess of female hormones.”

Kim reportedly keeps a “Pleasure Squad” of girls as young as 13, who are sometimes plucked from classrooms and undergo a battery of tests to confirm they’re virgins. In 2016 alone, he spent $3.5 million on lingerie and costumes for his harem, while also spending lavishly on booze and fine foods — and is especially fond of cheese.

The North Korean strongman’s brutal elimination of rivals — or perceived rivals — is no game. In 2012, he is rumored to have had a former army vice minister killed with a mortar round for drinking and partying after Kim’s father’s death. His uncle, Jang Song Thaek, reportedly was stripped naked and fed to 120 starving dogs in 2013. The following year, he had a deputy minister “executed by flame-thrower,” and the year after that, had another minister killed by an anti-aircraft gun at a shooting range in front of hundreds of spectators.

Despite his outrageous escapades, Kim is ultra-sensitive about his image. He was particularly steamed in 2014 when Sony Pictures announced “The Interview,” a comedy flick that poked fun at the plump dictator. Seth Rogen and James Franco portrayed two TV news personalities enlisted by the CIA to assassinate Kim. He was not amused and is believed to have ordered a subsequent cyberattack targeting Sony, which backed down and never released the film.

Before his disappearing act in April, the North Korean ruler dropped out of sight in 2014, sparking rumors that he had been taken out by a military coup. He emerged after six weeks, totally fine, and was said by state media to have been recovering from surgery.

One rumor has it that Kim is currently lounging on a yacht in his beachfront resort in Wonsan, while the world wonders where the heck he is.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has fallen into a coma, a former South Korean official is claiming on the heels of reports that the northern leader has ceded over some of his power to his younger sister.

Chang Song-min, a former aide to late-South Korean president Kim Dae-jung, has alleged that the Hermit Kindom’s honcho has become seriously ill amid speculation about his limited public appearances this year, the Mirror reported.

“I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended,” he told South Korean media.

The former aide added that the leader’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, was poised to help lead the country.

“A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo-jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period,” he said.

His claims come after South Korean spies revealed that the 33-year-old sibling now serves as his “de facto second-in-command,” though she has not been designated his successor.

Might explain some weirdness there this year but the generals won't like the sister in charge one little bit.

I think we may be better off with the little fat man than his crazy sister.

He could be dead but it's not yet in the main media such as CNN or the BBC.
