Kim Jong-un’s superpowers: North Korean leader can control weather, cure diseases and make unicorn discoveries
When Kim ‘ascended’ to the top of Mount Paektu through thick snow wearing his signature double-breasted winter coat and black leather shoes, a blizzard gave way to ‘fine weather unprecedented’
In rare free moments, when Kim Jong-un isn’t calling US President Donald Trump a dotard, launching ballistic missiles or engaging in general dictatoring, he apparently goes on leisurely mountain hikes and flexes his never-before-reported superpower: controlling the weather.
The case for the North Korean leader’s cameo role in a new X-Men movie came during a brisk two-mile stroll up snowy Mount Paektu a week or so ago, as reported by the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency.
The 2,700-metre mountain is normally a wintry mess in December, according to the news agency, but during Kim’s visit, it was a “marvellous scene with glee at the reappearance of its great master.” When Kim ascended to the top, the mountain showed “fine weather unprecedented”.
It was obviously an homage to Kim, KCNA reported, the man “who controls the nature”.
The fine weather was fortuitous, as pictures showed Kim made the arduous trek up the mountain in dress trousers and shiny leather shoes.
