A look inside the daily life of Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator who's as secretive as he is dangerous

Published by Business Insider on Sun, 25 Jun 2017


North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has as been the source of much international scrutiny.Lately, he's been in the news because of his regime's growing nuclear weapons capabilities and the case of American student Otto Warmbier, who died just days after he was released from a DPRK prison.Information about life inside "Hermit Kingdom" is somewhat scarce, as are details about the daily routine of the country's self-styled "Supreme Leader."However,some information has slipped through.In 2016, North Korea scored a 28.6 on the Global Hunger Index, meaning that the situation in the country is in "serious" troublean "extremely alarming" food situation would be denoted by a score of over 50. The World Food Programme has reported that 70% of the country's 25.1 million population is"food insecure" and chronic malnutrition is endemic.One thing is clear to see: Kim Jong Un's life of private islands, imported liquor, and wealth is worlds apart from the lives of the people he rules.SEE ALSO:A look inside Donald Trump's Manhattan officeDON'T MISS:In 1946, Winston Churchill gave a speech at a tiny Missouri college that changed the way everyone thought about RussiaMost aspects of life in the Hermit Kingdom are tightly controlled, according to reports from visitors and defectors. As Getty photographer Xiaolu Chu reported after a visit to the country, many North Koreans live in poverty.Source: Business Insider, The AtlanticKim Jong Un clings to many of the same policies that his father promoted, including the strategy of "juche," which promotes North Korea's isolation, and the expansion of the country's nuclear and ballistics weapons program.Source: The AtlanticHe also shares his father's expensive tastes. While it's unclear exactly how much wealth Kim Jong Un has accrued, in 2012, the year he took over as "Supreme Leader," North Korean annual spending on luxury goods jumped from an average of $300 million to $645.8 million.Source: The Huffington PostSee the rest of the story at Business Insider
