North Korean President
Leads Alternative Lifestyle
Pyongyang, North Korea-- While much is known about the nuclear weapons ambitions of North Korean President Kim Jong-il, most Americans know very little about the actual man. In an effort to change that, Red Tractor USA recently sent publisher David Kruk to North Korea to find out what really makes him tick
Behind Kim Jong-il’s presidential stature is an individual reported to lead what most North Koreans would consider an alternative life style. This is considering that average North Korean male still wears a uniform of one type or another.
In addition to his funky hair colors and style, it has also been rumored that Kim Jong-il favors wearing a single earring in his right ear. Though we where unable to confirm this, this theory is fueled by the fact that the North Korean president is almost always photographed from an angle.
For a man that seems publicly obsessed with the United States or at least with defending his nation from the mighty American imperial threat, Red Tractor USA has learned that in private, President Kim Jong-il adores many facets of American culture. Kim Jong-il has a reported collection of nearly 20,000 American made movies. His favorite movie is said to be the American mafia classic, The Godfather.
Kim Jung-il also is believed to be big fan music by Elvis Presley. A tour guide told Red Tractor USA that a few visitors to the Presidential palace have even reported that the President was spotted wearing on occasion, the type of white jump suite made famous by Elvis Presley.
The North Korean President is also rumored to be a fan of American TV, albeit from the 1970’s. In fact, Red Tractor USA has learned that Kim Jung-il has decorated his basement den in the Presidential palace in a Happy Days motif. The walls of this den are cluttered with pictures of Fonzy and the gang.
When the North Korean President has the urge to go out, he has on occasion been spotted at the black jack table and playing slot machines at the casino in the posh Yangakkdo hotel in the North Korean capital city of Pyongyang. Reportedly, when gambling, his beverage of choice is Rum and Coke. When relaxing at home, Kim Jong-il is rumored to split time with his three wives.
