North Korea Latest: Kim Jong-Un, the son of former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, says he wants to go on a gap year before he starts running the family business.

Kim Jong-Un to take gap year before running brutal dictatorship

North Korea has described Kim Jong-Un as the ‘great successor’, although sources close to the Swiss-educated 20-something say he first wants to ‘find himself’ on a gap year in India before he is ready to take over from his father as one of the world’s most brutal dictators.

He just doesn’t feel he’s ready yet,” said a close friend of Jong-un. “He’s not shirking responsibility, he just wants to see the world before settling down. See the sun rise on a beach in Goa. Get a tribal tattoo. Perhaps have a short-lived romance with an Australian.”

This morning Jong-Un took to his Facebook page to vent, writing ‘WHATEVER. I’m not the oldest son, why do I have to do it FFS?’

‘I want to wear t-shirts and play Xbox, not wear weird suits and visit shoelace factories. SO unfair!’
