GQ goes behind the bamboo curtain with Dear Leader's former cook, friend



Kim had a "brigade" of young Korean women, known as the "Joy Division"; most were forced to join before turning 16. They "were maintained to provide entertainment, massages, and sexual gratification ... Depending on his mood, the Dear Leader might order them to sing sentimental songs, disco dance, strip naked, or hold spontaneous boxing matches."


Fujimoto was arrested while buying fish in Tokyo in 1996 and ended up staying in the country for 18 months. During his time there, Kim sent an assassin to kill him. When Fujimoto returned to North Korea, Kim admitted sending the assassin, but told him he changed his mind and not to worry.



Kim was a big fan of Iron Chef. Fujimoto ultimately escaped from North Korea by showing him an episode where the secret ingredient was sea-urchin roe, knowing Kim would immediately send him to Japan to buy some.
