Step into the bizarre and tightly controlled world of Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s elusive dictator who’s equal parts mystery and meme. Max Bennett and Lisa Vega break down the myths, propaganda, and power plays that keep the Hermit Kingdom running and the world holding its breath. From missile tests and military parades to his love of luxury goods and improbable stories, Kim’s rule is a masterclass in fear, spectacle, and global trolling.

Is he a strategic mastermind or just the luckiest despot alive? Expect sharp analysis, biting humor, and no holds barred as we explore how Kim Jong Un turned a secretive dynasty into an international enigma.
