No ‘Playboy’: Kim Jong-un Avoided ‘Contact With Girls’ Back in Swiss School, Book Claims

Reports suggest that North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has spent his teen years in private schools in Switzerland, where he could have been attending classes under a nickname. However, the details surrounding the childhood of the leader of the DPRK mainly remain a mystery.

There were times when the leader of North Korea was scared of talking to young women and did his best to avoid any contact with them, according to reminiscences of a former classmate, cited in Anna Fifield’s bombshell biography, The Great Successor: The Secret Rise and Rule of Kim Jong-un.

The 2019 book, excerpts of which have recently been doing the rounds in the media, claims that “at a time when teenagers are usually pushing boundaries, Kim Jong-un was no party animal or playboy in training”.

According to the author, one woman who claims she studied with North Korea’s leader back in Switzerland, recalls that she had never had any substantial conversation with him as he had “absolutely avoided contact with girls”.

“He was a loner and didn’t share anything about his private life”, the ex-classmate was quoted as saying.

Reports suggest that Kim spent his childhood in Switzerland where he had attended International School of Berne and later Schule Liebefeld Steinholzli some time between 1993 and 2000. He then allegedly moved to North Korea to study in Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung University.

Fifield claims in her book, citing the future leader’s classmates back in Switzerland, that he was not too good at studies either.

Very few things can be said with certainty about the life of the highly secretive Chairman of the Worker’s Party of Korea, but it is generally believed that his “woman situation” significantly improved with time, as he eventually got married. Kim and his wife Ri Sol-ju reportedly have three children together, South Korean intelligence suggests – although these reports have never been officially confirmed by the North Korea’s first couple.
