North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un wants to be worshipped with his own ideology. In an attempt to break free from the shadow of his predecessors, the dictator is pushing 'Kimjongunism' which hails him as a 'Great Leader'.

Pope Francis would be happy to visit tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un - if he ever received an invitation.The Pope was asked if we would take a tour of North Korea for which he positively reacted to the suggestion while speaking with South Korea's head of state.President Moon Jae-in asked the Catholic head on Friday if he'd take the trip to bring peace on the Korean Peninsula.Moon made the offer during a meeting with the pope at the Vatican earlier in the day.He said a visit to North Korea will serve as a momentum to bringing peace in the region, as tensions rise following recent hypersonic missile tests."If the pontiff visits North Korea when an opportunity arises, it will be momentum for peace on the Korean Peninsula," Moon told the pope,

North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, is encouraging his people to eat black swans.On Monday, the Workers Party of Korea’s official newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, published an article stating that “black swan meat is delicious and has medicinal value.”Moreover, the Express reports, it claimed that breeding the anatidae on an “industrial scale” would “actively contribute to improving people’s lives.”This came after the chief party secretary of South Hamgyong Province, Ri Jong Nam, officially inaugurated a new black swan centre at the Kwangpho Duck Farm in Jongphyong county on North Korea’s east coast.The North Korean dictator believes the elegant birds are “his secret weapon” to combat food shortages, a problem which was brought by Kim in
