Kim Jong-un reinstates 'pleasure troupe' harem

[Deleted]

I'm speechless Link

Government officials would conduct searches of the countryside for the most attractive young women, typically taking 30 to 40 every year, who would become maids, singers, or dancers following an interview with the leader.

The prettiest would be expected to become the leader’s concubines, eventually passed on – or “retired” – to high ranking military or government officials after they reached their mid-20s.


"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," Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University, told The Daily Telegraph.

North Korea exhibits all the traits of a cult.

I guess North Korea learned nothing from Japan when they forced Korean women in WWII to service Japanese troops. The Korean women were known as Comfort Women.

Apparently now it's okay.

I'm pretty sure nothing N. Korea does is OK.

A peace-loving little dictator with a funny hairdo......what could he do wrong?

[Peace Of Mind]

He needs them to dance and sing and entertain him because he can't get it up.  They're safe.   I hope!

They could technically be lucky, depending on whether or not one considers being a midget tyrant's concubine better than starving to death.

So it's true! I thought they did that to be silly in the movie The Interview   If you haven't seen it, watch it! He's such a little weirdo!

And when he's done with them they get passed on...this is supposed to be the stuff of ancient history classes.

If you want an amazing glimpse into the surreal world of North Korea, I recommend "Without You There Is No Us", written by a woman hired to teach English to the North Korean elite.  It was a real page-turner and eye opening about a nation rooted in the past, mired in third-world status, with the dangerous war toys of modernity.  Scared the wooha out of me because it sort of makes Dennis Rodman look normal compared to his BFF Kim
