smiling ruthless mysterious who is Kim jong-un before news would spread
globally about the sudden and unexpected passing of North Korean dictator Kim
jong-un before Kim jong-un would be portrayed in the interview opposite
James Franco and Seth Rogen in a film that resulted in a cyberattack against
Sony Studios online privacy take him out like for drinks like to
dinner about the town no take him out you want us to kill the leader of North
Korea yes before Kim jong-un would spark up a relationship with notable American
celebrities including Dennis Rodman and Donald Trump a lot of friendships have
been made and this has been in particular a great friendship no Kim
Jong Un's life stories one shrouded in secrecy no Kim he recently underwent
heart surgery and it could have actually incapacitated the man to some extent
with news reports suggested the worst now the South Korean government they
have denied the reports but that hasn't stopped a speculation now the most
credible information we have about Kim jong-un's personal life since taking
power well it comes from a very unexpected source I'm talking about
Dennis Rodman to me he's a kid he's only 34 years old and the faculty he's been
inherited this situation he didn't build this when Michael Jordan turned down the
invite well Dennis Rodman he traveled to North Korea he spent time at Kim's
private villa he met his wife and he held his daughter the other information
that's out there is from his formative years growing up in Switzerland where he
said to be the furthest thing from a ladies man the guy was a basketball
obsessed loner who slept with his basketball at night he would actually
also spit and kick his classmates but we'll get into that a little later in
this video what's going on guys this boy Michael Cretu documenting the life and
career of Kim Jung on prior to the announcement of his passing here for you
um before they were gone I think I need to add a question mark there I got
called out by a fellow youtuber by the name of I neighbor
in a sense deleted tweet so thank you for the suggestion know the time of this
recording we didn't know if he actually passed away or not now everything about
North Korea it's a little tricky to get an honest answer about regardless we're
gonna try our best let me know if you want me to do a follow-up video on his
sister who will likely take power in the event that he has passed away and this
guy has done some horrendous things but you never want to see anyone pass away
especially so young so our prayers are with his family all right let's get into
this video now the birth date and early childhood of North Korean leader Kim
jong-un it's shrouded in mystery but sources state that he was born on
January 8 1982 now North Korean intelligence officers they believe his
birth year was altered to 1983 so it would land on the same numeric digit in
the decade as his father and his great-grandfather so that would make a
mound 37 or 38 years old at the time of this recording know he was the youngest
son of Kim jong-il who under the communist workers party he had ruled
North Korea since 1994 now his father took a liking to the young boy who
shared a temperament similar to his own and Kim jong-un's mother will she was an
opera singer by the name of ko young-hee the son of a ruler well Kim he would
have been born into a family of considerable wealth under the
dictatorship now here elections they're not fair or
the public are not eligible also the government it controls the media it
limits the internet and those who act out well they're punished violently both
them and their family members now good news for those of power but bad news for
everyone else now Kim's mother she had a sister living in Switzerland and it was
decided for the young boy to go join his older brother there for International
Studies then we departed from North Korea to burn under the alias of pact
Chow that was on paper but at school the kids they called him unpack no he would
be delivered to school by a chauffeur and he sported a bowl cut and he was
dressed head-to-toe in the finest of basketball attire then we attended a
special class for foreign language children and he was said to struggle in
his earlier years picking up foreign language though he later attended the
regular classes for the 6th 7th and 8th grade and then for part of the ninth
grade but then all of a sudden he left school abruptly in the autumn of 2004 of
the time here was a shy not not louder yeah quite guy but when we played
basketball he he came up he could be very aggressive but in a positive way
and loud and a little bit of trash talk though his fellow students they didn't
think much of their classmate until they would later see him in the news as the
new leader of a nation but they all remembered him that he was basketball
obsessed and we always wore the same outfit an authentic Chicago Bulls top
with Michael Jordan number three bull shorts and his Air Jordan shoes that was
ball it was also top of the line as Spalding with the official marks of the
NBA and he was said to actually sleep with his basketball at night he had his
own net outside his apartment where he lived and every night he would be seen
shooting hoops from 5:00 p.m. into the night now unfortunately for him he never
grew to be very tall his father was 511 and he maxed out at five seven when he
played basketball together and during sports and he always looked like a pro
in his NBA club also the night kiss the good ones you know the airmax knew his
other interests they included art where he would spend countless hours drawing
Michael Jordan he also enjoyed Jackie Chan films and one of his personal faves
was the 1997 jean-claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman flick titled double-team
his classmates described him by stating the following he kicked us in the shins
and even spat at us I was said by one former classmate come
outside of his time on the court while in class he was an introvert and he was
no party animal or playboy in training now we didn't go to school camp you
didn't go to parties or discos and he didn't touch a drop of alcohol now in
fact it was said that he avoided contact with girls at all costs you wouldn't
even have a conversation with them now in short one classmate they described
him as such he was a loner and didn't share anything about his private life he
was a good student but he wasn't an extraordinary no the education that Kim
received in Switzerland Bella presented a very different worldview
the one key experience in North Korea the son of a dictator now he studied
human rights woman's rights and the development of democracy students
learned about Martin Luther King jr. Nelson Mandela and Gandhi now there was
a strong emphasis on cultural diversity religion ethics and social groups also
the rates of human beings and standing in solidarity with the disadvantaged
now his test scores they were never great but Kim Jung on he went on to pass
the seventh and eighth grades and was then a part of the ninth grade at high
school until his abrupt departure around this time his older brother Kim jong-nam
who was he was favored to take over his father's place initially well then he
got caught speaking to Japan in an effort to visit Tokyo Disneyland now his
brother he was eventually killed but we'll get into that in just a second
know also around this time his mother she was diagnosed with an advanced case
of breast cancer and was starting intensive treatment in France now she
ended up living for another few years when she died in the hospital out in
Paris in 2004 back in North Korea while he attended Kim il-sung military
University which is in the capital from the mid 2000s and he began to prepare
for his succession into leadership now his father he saw a lot of himself in
his youngest boy who was said to be of strong will he also enjoyed Johnny
Walker then sailor off cigarettes and he was also compassionate enough to ask
questions regarding the working-class people of their nation no previous the
2010 will the people of North Korea knew very little about ken there it actually
had only been one photo of him that was made available to the public the photos
unveiled at an Air Force celebration thousands of North Koreans dutifully
cheer as the young Kim is shown in the cockpit of an airplane women close to
tears as they watch Kim now all grown up make his way through the crowd though he
was reportedly wet in 2009 in a pre-arranged marriage to resole Jew with
whom he is said to have at least one child but believed to have as many as 3
there was a boy born in 2010 a daughter in 2013 and a third child born in around
2017 after suffering a stroke in 2008 he began to look weak and frail we saw him
last October while reporting in North Korea
it was during that event that is twenty something year old son kim jong-in
appeared on the stage clearly his eventual successor he too so much of a
mystery his exact age is unknown upon his father's death in December of 2011
will Kim jong-un assumed power and he was believed to be in his late 20s at
the time after kim assumed supreme leadership of north korea will he
reportedly executed or removed many senior officials that he had inherited
from his father's regime now among those purged was his own uncle Jang song-thaek
and some say he was actually fed to hungry dogs now there was also his older
half-brother who must have really wanted to go to Disneyland because following
that he was living in exile he was then killed in 2017 and it was believed that
he had been poisoned during this time in power will North Korea continued its
weapons testing program in 2012 the government launched a long-range rocket
that put a satellite in orbit that was in 2017 in North Korea they launched
what its state media described as a medium long-range ballistic missile with
Kim said to be present at the site to supervise which sparked outrage from the
United Nations though Kim and president Donald Trump they butted heads on
numerous occasions calling Trump depraved and stupid guy to which Trump
replied that North Korea was a terrorist State now eventually the two would meet
in person to squash the beef not once but a total of three times and we also
met with the South Korean president the Chinese president and Vladimir Putin
know wasn't all work though there was time for some play in 2013 he got a
visit from Dennis Rodman who came to North Korea to play some basketball for
two days he ended up kicking it with Kim jong-un and the two built a long-lasting
friendship yes Michael Jordan first and Michael Jordan said no so didn't you ask
about me and I said yes and that's how it all started to me he's a kid he
started 34 years old and the factory he's been inherited this situation he
didn't build tests he's only 24 years old his grandfather and father built is
he has inherited kid but right he's trying try
to try to branch out no there's been lots of speculation around Kim's current
health and he hasn't made any major public appearances looking to be okay in
several weeks now in Saturday April 25th it was the day of celebration for the
founding of the Korean People's Army but there he was a no-show now the news of
his passing has not yet been confirmed now the story came from a Japanese
magazine stating that he was in a vegetative state this was after a heart
surgery gone wrong no TMZ they followed up the story titled alive and well or
dead which goes to show you that they don't know for sure what the hell is
going on his train remains at a station near a resort where he and his family
typically stay but there has been no recent sign of The Dictator no kami has
not been seen publicly since April 11 but there was also a South Korean
publication that said that he is alive and well and there's nothing to be
concerned about now if Kim jong-un is dead his sister would likely take power
until his kids grow up I don't know some people love this guy other people hate
them it's kind of like if you live in North Korea
you're probably secretly hated but you gotta love them I don't know what do you
