PYONGYANG, North Korea - North Korea's heir apparent, Kim Jong Eun, underwent plastic surgery six times to look more like his grandfather, the Communist state's "eternal president" Kim Il Sung, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Tuesday.
The mysterious Kim Jong Eun, the youngest son of despot Kim Jong Il, underwent the operations between 2007 and 2010 before he was unveiled as the next-in-line to rule the nuclear-armed rogue nation, the report quoted an activist as saying.
Ha Tae Kyung, the head of Open Radio for North Korea, made the claim at a talk on North Korea's hereditary succession at the Royal United Services Institute in London and said that he was quoting senior North Korean officials.
The short and stocky Kim Jong Eun, who is believed to be in his late 20s, closely resembles both his father and grandfather. But his first appearance last year sparked speculation that plastic surgery may have been required to achieve the likeness.
I think I heard once that the most common cosmetic surgery is a breast reduction. It actually looks like this dude could use one of those, or at least a bro/manziere. With that said, you have to appreciate the commitment lil' Kim Jong Eun is showing here. How many people would be willing to have surgery to look more like their grandfather and father, not many.
Here's a little Big Ran Fun Fact: I have been to within about 3 feet of the North Korean boarder. I was in South Korea for work and went on a tour of the DMZ. The more you know. I never got the chance to try their secret micro brew.
