Ever wonder what it is like to go to school with a dictator's son? Marco Imhof knows. According to him, he attended school in Switzerland with Kim Jong-un, the youngest son of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, and claims there was a fair amount of "trash talk," or competitive banter, when they played basketball together.
Al Jazeera's exclusive report reveals that among a group of teenage students, one boy, who went by the name "Pak Un", had an extraordinary secret - the future heir to the world's only hereditary totalitarian dictatorship.
Imhof underlines the normality of the early years of a man who may assume one of the most powerful and dangerous positions in the world.
Little is known about the children of Kim Jong-il, but information has been trickling out since early last year when the first signs emerged that Kim Jong-un was being groomed for the leadership. -YT
