North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is hiding more than weapons of mass destruction. He reportedly loves to watch South Korean tv programs, and among his favorite stars is Lee Young Ae. Lee practically started the Korean wave with Dae Jang Geum, but who knew that the Hallyu could penetrate the cold heart of Kim Jong Il? When I first saw this article on Yahoo! I did I double take to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Kim and Lee side by side? What could be the connection? I’m sure anyone who isn’t into the k-pop world would still be surprised that KJI even watches or owns a television. Obviously no one in his country is allowed to ride the hallyu wave, but I guess this communist leader is jumping the bandwagon too!
funny funny..
if i was lee young ae, i would be scared.
really scared
LOL The man has good taste. Alot of North Korea rides the wave but in complete secret because the consequences are labor camps >_< and lord only knows what else.
Cmon jongillie…. Let your country form boybands and ban eyelid surgery <3 That’s my dream for north korea.
HAHAHAHA
u serious
that is so funny!
i mean, i thought N hated the S
but even the leader likes to wtch south korean tv programs XD
yes if i was lee young ae, i would be scared too
i wonder how she must feel knowing this o_O *shudder*
I remember Shinwha performed in N.Korea, oh they had
those shaking-because-they’re-scared smile. I bet Lee Young Ae’s scared now. How come Kim Jong Il is so thin in that pic!?? Unfair!! No wonder Jong Il have hots for Shinhwa and LYA, the actors in N. is pretty weird and overly outdated.
But hey, maybe hallyu can unite the country eh? Shallow, maybe?
Lee Young better be careful, she could get kidnapped and be forced to star in one of his movies…after joining his harem.
Kim Jong Il is one of the most hypocritical person on earth. Someone needs to shot his a**. His countrymen are dying from salvation and diseases and he’s watching kdrama.
Back in 2001, his son was caught trying to enter Japan illegally. And you what? The Japanese FED thought he was trying to buy intelligence info to build nuclear weapons in North Korea. However that wasn’t the case. Nope, this fool was sneaking into Japan so that he can get some a** at Yoshiwara soaplands. According to the Japanese intelligence force, he has been frequenting japanese red-light district for years.
He first admitted that he wanted to visit Tokyo’s Disneyland. How in the hell did this fool know about Disneyland? Kim Jong Il and his family deprive his countrymen of media access, but they indulged themselves of it.
What the h*ll, seriously, someone needs to assassinate this fool and his son.
I wish for unification for them that’s all ^ ^
and I’m scared for YoungAe-nim! heehee
Very interesting how contradicting Kim Jong Il is. I always thought he was a bit nutty anyways.
As for Lee Young Ae, I would be very scared. I think the picture of her in this fits perfectly.
eh go kim jong II… you ugly butthead*!
I wonder if the North Korean Citizens get to watch Korean Drama too?
That really scared me!
What a hypocrite KJI is, self-professed fan of S. Korean programming but wont let any of this countrymen do the same.
EWWW I’M SCARED FOR LEE YOUNG AE. HE WOULD’VE FORCED HER INTO MARRIAGE IF SHE WAS LIVING IN THE NORTH. *SHUDDERING*
talk about random!!
EEWWWWWW and yeah I would be freaking scared
so scary, i hope Lee Young Ae wont get kidnapped by that mental president.. hes such a hypocrite.. i really really hate him!
I never thought he was a ‘bit’ nutty.. i know he is always nutty! not a bit.. alot!! .. dont be afraid to speak the truth.. he is a mental president, please admit! .. dont say, sorry if this is offensive.. i dont think anyone will find bad (truthful) comments about kimg jong ill offensive, otherwise, they would be on his side.. which i doubt..
Dude, what are you talking about.
KimJongIl ALWAYS had access to the television world. It was reported a decade ago that he enjoyed watching Baywatch and other shows where girls with big boobs are bouncing around (even though his own people are deprived of a majority of outside media).
The surprising part of him having a thing for LeeYoungAe is that she’s not exactly promiscuous, but a classy woman. Now THAT’S fascinating.
…I also think LeeYoungAe needs government protective services now before KimJongIl decides to make her his new wife.
poor girl.
o_O;
“The surprising part of him having a thing for LeeYoungAe is that she’s not exactly promiscuous, but a classy woman”
after drooling over big breasted “foreigners”, KJI has settled on the “i’m your only man baby” fantasy with LYA. run girl run!
the first thing i did after reading this is laugh hysterically out loud. wow, this is really scary.
someone needs to shoot kim jong il soon. he’s a freak on the run. if i were her, i’d go into hiding.
i thought north korea only had like 4 tv channels, all of which are run by the government. so how does he watch s. korean programs?? dvds? he’s such a hypocrite.
hahaah there has been an xfile that she went to NK to have his child and came back…..it’s pretty much 100% true though as there was a time where she disappeared for a while and came back looking very chubby…you can check on any korean site. it’s 100% true and pretty freaking crazy.
i knowww..i read this through the newspaper..i was totally freaked OUT!! :O lee young ae..be careful..
HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA
funniest post by far. u gots my luv, popseoul!
Bwahahahhahaha xD
Freaking hilarious xD I just had to laugh, that’s so… creepy!
Just look at his saddic smile!
Seeing his photo is enough to send me shivers down my spine LOL
I f I was her.. I would go undercover to a planet far far away X’D
LOL @ jessica’s X-file tip
if that’s true, the poor kid doesn’t deserve his ridiculous pompadour & young-ae’s water-retention cheeks…
O the humanity!
LOL
That made me gag on my tea. Hilarious. xD
p.s.
he must not have seen her in Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. unless of course, Dear Leader likes his Dae Jang Geum with some S&M on the side!
he’s a psycho, i’m worried for her. there could be so much beautiful people or potential celebrities in north korea but we’ll never know =(
D: I hope she doesnt get kidnapped.
Disgusting.
…scary
OMG LMAO
the comments here make me Laugh!!!
Like Lee young ae must be scared now and that she needs
government protection!!
hahahahahahahaha!!!! =D
Disgusting old fart
Me too, I also saw this heading on Yahoo when I checked my email yesterday.
comments really make me laugh…
is he wearing a wig?
God, please kept Lee young Ae away from this stinking old president~~
he is freakin’ crazy confessing things like that in public..but maybe…that’s one of his strategies to unite south and north korea..(err..maybe?)
anyway,i’m sick to my stomach even thinking that this old guy would have the hots for anybody..eeuuwwww!!!talk about gross!!!why dont u lay ur eyes on more significant things..like..ur deprived citizens perhaps??
omg rofl…
what funny commentary haha
Hope he doesn’t abduct her…
Lee Young Ae needs more bodyguards now. He might be so ‘in love’ with her role that he MIGHT build her a Dae Jang Geum palace and imprison her in it.
All I know about North Korea is some kids said they liked Toy Story and didn’t know it was American since it was dubbed in Korean and marketed in Korean. And apparently it was common to market the movies as their own to other North Koreans.
Well, I know a bit more than that but… Its the only related fact.
haha, well done on the picture here. good stuff.
Kim Jong Il = hypocrite. I feel sorry for N. Koreans who don’t get access to anything from the world. I heard that too, about Toy Story being marketed as being from N. Korea. That is sad.
uh oh…
