Kim Jong-un’s Alpine school days

Whether or not North Korea has the means to wage nuclear war remains unclear, as does much of Kim Jong-un’s life before becoming President. The secretive leader has made his distaste for the West clear, however, his school days in Switzerland tell another story. Swiss Investigative journalist Titus Plattner has discovered further details of the leader’s youth where he was far from being a star pupil. Plattner tells euronews how he unravelled the secrets of his time in the Alps. “For a long time we believed that he only stayed in Switzerland between 1998 and 2001 at the Liebefeld school. But I found his registration under his adoptive parents’ in the federal archives, because he was in Switzerland under the false name Pak-un. I found his registration from 1991 first in Geneva and then in Berne. Here are the documents from the federal archives and you can see the two brothers names: Pak-chol and Pak-un and a little sister as well.“ "
