North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly reinstating a "pleasure squad” of young women to entertain him – in a tradition said to have been enjoyed by his late father.
The news was broken by South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper, which claims a former group was disbanded after the death of Kim Jong Il in 2011.
It writes the women, who were then dispatched to work at Kim Jong Il’s summer villas, are currently undergoing security training at a hotel in Pyongyang.
The news was broken by South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper, which claims a former group was disbanded after the death of Kim Jong Il in 2011.
It writes the women, who were then dispatched to work at Kim Jong Il’s summer villas, are currently undergoing security training at a hotel in Pyongyang.
They must reportedly sign a pledge of secrecy "in return for money and gifts.”
The newspaper adds: "Kim junior apparently shunned the summer villas before he came to power but developed a taste for them and the pliable maidens that come with them when he was being treated for gout last year.
"The new recruits are apparently tall and beautiful.”
The current North Korean leader is married to singer Ri Sol-ju with whom he has a daughter.
"This has been going on under three generations of the Kim family ruling North Korea and it has become a tradition that is also a demonstration of the leader’s power over the people and his sexual power,” Tokyo professor Toshimitsu Shigemura told the Telegraph.
Proof of the squads has never been officially confirmed, though the Asia Times writes the existence of them has been established by the testimony of defectors including Lee Il-nam, who attended the same private school in Geneva as the country's present leader.
