It’s not easy waiting around to become king. Just ask Prince Charles. But in a story that was brought to our attention by the fine folks at Korea Peninsula Through the Lens (as Ringo Starr said, when you steal, steal from the best), some are claiming that Kim Jong-un has gone extraordinary lengths to secure his grandfather’s mantle. Not content with the same haircut and attire, earlier this summer Ha Tae-kyung of Open Radio for North Korea, aka Young Howard, claimed that Kim had undergone a half dozen plastic surgeries to make himself look more like his grandfather. Fujimoto Kenji, a Japanese cook who claims to have served as Kim Jong-il’s personal sushi chef, told Yonhap that the transformation was such that he could not recognize Kim Jung-un at a meeting of the Korean Workers Party the last September. Separated at birth? You be the judge.
