Who Is Kim Jong Un?

Update Of 8/10/2019

Just read this article: Trump says North Korea's Kim apologized for missile tests, wants to meet soon (8/10/19 Washington Times). According to President Trump, Kim Jong Un sent him a long, handwritten letter. I find that very unusual in the digital age. The dictator apologized for recent missile tests? Is this dictator in charge or not? Is he sincere? This man seems to be an enigma.

Update Of 3/4/2019

Here is a very recommendable biography video on Kim Jong Un by Biographics with host Simon Whistler: Kim Jong-un: A Brighter Future?

If the North Korean dictator is serious about attempting the decades overdue reunification of the Korean peninsula then he is very courageous and deserves some praise. Will Kim Jong-Un be the next Gorbachev?

Original Post

Just watched this remarkable, possibly revealing brief press conference with dictator Kim Jong Un and President Trump presented by Fox News on Youtube.

If you assume for a moment that the third generation dictator is not a pretender nor an actor, then this young man came across as quite helpless and shy. Apparently, he does not even speak fluently english (presumably he was not educated in the West), while many South Korean men or women in leading positions do.

One has to wonder whether this young man is even in charge or is he a puppet controlled by others in the regime?
