This is seriously amazing. I wish that kid the best of luck.
It's awesome seeing how different ideas differ from his grandfather's and how set he is on making a difference.
I don't know how or when, but I will love to see him change things one day.

Nice interview. Hopefully someday he can make a difference in N Korea and unite the two Koreas.

Since no one else has pointed it out, I'll say it:

Socialism is for the people, not the socialists. He's off at a nice college in the 'Western World' while his home country is starving and at best living in the 60's tech wise. It's nice to be of influence in a totalitarian government.

How odd would it be if there was a North Korean civil war between those who support Kim Han Sol and those who want NK to remain a strict communist nation. It could result in 3 koreas o.o

Strange how it seems like his father was so estranged from Jong Il and was almost hippylike compared to the total cult of personality the Kim family have over North Korea. You would think if you were born directly from a dictator like that, you would try to do everything in your power to be the next head of state. I guess Jong Un was the only one of them who really wanted to be the Leader. Really shows how different siblings can actually be in a powerful family like that I guess.

Man a mod went crazy in this thread: D painted the screen red!

It'd be interesting to see where this goes, not many people leave North Korea, let alone without prosecution.

i remember seeing similar stories about the current NK leader (then soon to be) schooling in austria or something and having a fairly westernised world view and lifestyle and peoples hopes of him being a moderniser when his father died.

nothing ever came of that.

Yea, but he didn't give a full blown interview like this guy, actually criticizing his uncle.

Hopefully they don't send someone to assassinate him haha, this probably made NK pretty mad.

I guess Jong Un was the only one of them who really wanted to be the Leader. Really shows how different siblings can actually be in a powerful family like that I guess.

actually the current leader won the "election" or seat or w.e the fuck you wanna call it by the process of elimination. The two older brothers were not seen fit by iL . One of them, I believe the second oldest had no intentions or "passions" to take the seat thus lazy. The oldest one lost his chance when he was caught with a fake passport in Japan in an attempt to go visit Disney Land (twas arrest and was shipped back) and was branded a "shame" to the family... So yea..the leader won probably by asking one more question than the lazy brother (everyone was skeptical of the new leader because no one knows what his motives are and is a "quiet" person)

on topic:
This is pretty cool although I wonder if he did this as a political move (*rubbing chin pondering) or genuinely wanted to help (most likely this).. I just wonder how he got out of the country considering its pretty damn hard to do so and usually frowned (extremely) upon

Why does that Star Wars joke get warned?

Han Solo, hilarious! I don't see anything wrong here.


The 'r's

That's ridiculous. I've seen pictures by Manit0u in the funny pictures thread making jokes about black people not being able to read and he goes unscathed. I see a thread devoted bashing religion simply because they protest on their own private property about abortion, the creator went unwarned.

I PMd the guy who warned me because I honestly don't know why I was warned, all he said was "dont do this". If it really is the whole switching of Rs and Ls, then im disappointed. I've stood up against racism against Asians (my own race) enough in my own life to be able to recognize real racism from harmless fun.

Edit: I take more offense to people in this entire site claiming to know about Asian culture purely on Koreans' SC2 work ethic than an obviously stupid joke about the pronunciation of Rs or Ls.

._. I'm scared, but for future reference don't assume that words weren't exchanged in pm's, and take that to website feedback. Also don't do this.

But, I have to say, on topic this seems to be a very interesting person! I'm surprised he's so articulate.

Lets name them Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, then we just have to wait 600 years and Silla will bring unification to Korea.
