Kim Jong-un with Dennis Rodman

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Dennis Rodman, the former US basketball star, has described the life of Kim Jong-un as a "seven-star" party with constant cocktails, jet-skis at the North Korean dictator's private island and luxury yachts.

Rodman, 52, paid a second visit to North Korea in September and described Kim as "a good friend."

In an interview with The Sun, the flamboyant former Chicago Bulls star said he spent seven days on Kim's private island.

"It's like going to Hawaii or Ibiza, but he's the only one that lives there," Rodman said. "He likes people to be happy around him.

"He's got 50 to 60 around him all the time - just normal people, drinking cocktails and laughing the whole time.

"If you drink a bottle of tequila, it's the best tequila," he added. "Everything you want, he has the best." » | Julian Ryall, Tokyo | Monday, October 21, 2013
