Is Kim Jong-Un a Radio 1 fan?

Is Kim Jong-Un a Radio 1 fan? BBC reveals ONE North Korean loves listening in:

NORTH Korea dictator Kim Jong-Un could be a BBC Radio 1 fan after statistics revealed one person in the country has been repeatedly viewing the station's YouTube channel.

Favourite artists of the solitary fan - who is watching the channel with increasing regularity - include pop sensation Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, according to chiefs.
They also reportedly love watching presenter Nick Grimshaw interviewing Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
Sources are convinced that the lone viewer is the tubby tyrant himself – because North Koreans are banned from receiving foreign media by the barmy dictator.

One source said: "The viewer can only be dictator Kim Jong-un."

The loony leader is known to be an avid fan of Western pop culture and has a particular love for Jackie Chan films.
Kim has previously been caught with a smartphone, prompting speculation he was using a product made by arch nemesis South Korea.
The phone was spotted in a photo of the dictator while he was chairing a meeting - prompting South Korea to draft in experts to figure out whether he was using a Samsung.

A Seoul government official said at the time: "Kim and his family members as well as the North's political elite appear to use smartphones or other mobile phones capable of accessing the internet."

The North Korean leader also banned Instagram throughout the country this year - with warning messages appearing on accounts.
The messages reportedly claimed the hugely successful photo-sharing service is set to be blacklisted for harmful content.
Opening Instagram on a mobile device using North Korean carrier Koryolink resulted in the notification: "Warning!

"You can't connect to this website because it's in blacklist site."

Could be.  We all know how much he likes to watch things...  :)

Great Leader only listens to WRAF, Radio Al Fansome.

His sister Joyce used to date Al. Great Leader likes to keep tabs on the guys who have dated his sisters.The Kim girls have problems with stalkers and fortune hunters.

My guess is Great Leader's wife bit on a PBS fundraiser and gets the BBC World Service as part of the package.

Fearless, the K-Dawg Fade is the rage in DPRK. It's the "must have" haircut in more ways than one.

Does Great Leader personally process all curly-haired Koreans in the People's Garment Steam Press to achieve that flat, lusterless cereal bowl look - or does he just watch?

He gives them Kinky Kim's Pomade, his fathers favorite hair product. Kim Il Jung had it developed to sport that ducktail he loved.

The Kim's are particular bunch when it come to their hair.

Geez Pigmeat!  Every time I try to read your post I get to "Kinky Kim's Pomade" and I flash on Kardashian - Yuk!  Too much weed and Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor over the decades I guess... 

BTW - I was wondering - all the Kims seem to have THREE names.  So I'm just guessing here - Kim Joyce-Tik?  Kim Ree-Joyce?  Kim Joyce-tudawurld?  Now that Al dumped her is she sparkin' Dennis Rodman? 

Please excuse my candor but its been a mighty long dry spell.  I got into pirate radio years ago for all the groupies... silly me...

I don't know if  Kim Jong-Un is a fan of Radio 1,
but I believe that the FCC commissioners are
fans of  Kim Jong-Un.
