Russian historian, Andrei Lankov lived in Pyongyang in the 1980’s, where he was an exchange student. His forthcoming book takes a look at how the government established a tight grip on the lives of everyday North Koreans. Take, for example, these anti-US questions cited by Lankov in a North Korean student textbook.
Kim Jong-Un’s new bride, Ri Sol-Ju, has not been seen for more than 40 days. South Korean media is reporting that she has not been accompanying the Young General on visits, but the real question is – where is she?
Last month, we saw footage of North Koreans weeping hysterically over the death of Kim Jong Il. Shockingly, it now turns out some of those people were just faking it! As punishment, authorities are handing down six months in a labor-training camp to all those who participated, but “didn’t cry and didn’t seem genuine.”
Kim Jong Eun is the son of North Korea’s Kim Jong Il. He is destined to rule this nuclear-armed rogue nation one day, but it is said that his dad is rather obsessed with the whole “eternal president” concept. So much so, that he’s sent his son for six plastic surgery procedures to look more like him and his father. See if you can spot the resemblances – I’d suggest starting with the double chins.
