 Recently,
North Korea attacked South Korea. Many
houses on Yeonpyeong Island were destroyed and some people were hurt and killed due to the North’s bombardment. Not only South
Korea but also the whole world is angry at North
Korea’s heartless act. According to the Japanese
daily Asahi Shimbun, it was
Kim Jong-un who ordered the military to attack South
Korea. So, who is Kim Jong-un?
Kim Jong-un was born in 1983 as the third and youngest son of the
current North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. His mother
Ko Young-hee died in 2004. He is good at English since he studied
at the English-language International School of Berne in Switzerland
until 1998. However, people didn’t know who he was because he used
the name “Pak Chol” to hide his identity and he pretended to be the son of
a driver. As a teenager, Kim Jong-un used to enjoy skiing and playing
basketball with his friends. He was also a huge fan of Michael Jordan,
the legendary basketball player.
 Kim
Jong-un is expected to become the new leader of North Korea after
his father. On January 15, 2009, Kim Jong-il appointed Kim Jong-un to
be his successor. On September 27,
2010, Kim Jong-un became a Daejang, which is the same as a U.S. four-star general. On September
28, 2010, he was named as vice chairman of the Central
Military Commission중앙군사위원회.
Kim Jong-un is known as a stubborn man who never admits defeat. He also enjoys luxuries
like his father. He reportedly has $4 billion
hidden in secret accounts in European
banks. According to recent intelligence reports, he
enjoys collecting luxury goods such as top-quality wines and cars.
He even collects expensive dogs as a hobby.
 Kim Jong-un
and his father love dogs very much and they spend a lot of money on pedigree dogs from France
and Switzerland every year. Kim Jong-un also buys expensive foreign
dog food, shampoo, and other pet products while his people are dying
of hunger. He even invites foreign animal doctors to Pyongyang to
provide healthcare for his dogs.
Ironically, however, according
to his former Japanese chef Kenji Fujimoto, the
young man also enjoys dog stew. We will have to keep an eye on this young
man and prepare for his reckless acts. |
