Kim Jong Un is an enigma
Apart from the fact that he is a basketball fan and has a smattering of foreign languages, not much is known about Kim Jong Un, who has just been named as the successor to his father Kim Jong Il.
Little is known about Kim Jong Un, the nominated "great successor" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il who died on Saturday.
He is apparently in his late 20s and went to school in Switzerland. He has a smattering of English, German and French and is described as being "pleasant and friendly," according to North Korea expert Werner Pfennig at Berlin's Free University.
