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.

One thing about him is a definite for sure. He will be a celebrity if Matt and Trey have anything to do with it.

Lucky he does not have his fathers last name - Il - He was not Il he was really sick, why he upped and died. Great reason to change a name I would say

I knew a Jordanian couple that the male took on the maiden name of his wife.

I would say right now that he is number Un.

Sorry, couldn't resist. But come to think of it maybe there is something in names. His father died young because he was Il.
