This is unreal.  A South Korean matchmaking company claims it has found the “ideal” marriage partner for Kim Jong-un, the 27 year old son of, and likely successor to, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.  Get this though: she’s Korean-American!   Although the company claims the match is a publicity stunt, the owner of the company has said, “one of our greatest hopes as a company is establishing a branch in Pyongyang,” the capital of North Korea. As for the girl who was selected, this was her response to the news: “I felt proud to be selected. I thought, ‘Cool. It means you’re in the elite.’ If he was South Korean, he’d be in the top 1 percent of the men.” I wonder if she thinks it would be “cool” to be married to the son of one of the world’s most monstrous tyrants?
