North Korea reveals leader Kim Jong Un is married (L.A. Times)
BEIJING -- North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is officially off the market.

The country's state-run television announced Wednesday that the young leader of the reclusive nation is married to a woman named Ri Sol Ju.

The couple are thought to be in their late 20s. Ri is believed to be a singer who has performed in front of national audiences. It was not clear when they were married.

The revelation of the marriage marks a stark departure from the secrecy of the regime as run by Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, who died in December. Little was known about the elder Kim's wife or mistresses.

much more, with video, at link above
 
This is very interesting. I've been watching him and he is clearing out some of the old guard more quickly than his father did when he took over.

Still not sure what to make of Kim Jong Un.

(Kim Jong Un was educated in the west. Which is interesting. I would assume that he is very westernized. I don't believe the media releases that he's not. He wasn't first choice in succession.)
