Imagine being the brother of a ruthless dictator. Kim Jong-chul, the little-seen older brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has surfaced in London. According to a series of reports, the dictator’s lesser known sibling attended concerts by Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall.
A man identified as the 33-year old Kim was filmed by Japanese TV crews at the guitarist’s concert on Thursday evening.
Kim was wearing dark sunglasses a leather jacket, getting out of a people carrier outside the central London venue. He was flanked by suited men who appeared to be North Korean officials. The Guardian says Kim Jong-chul has previously held some mid-level official positions, but has kept a generally low profile under the rule of his younger brother.
