Kim Jong-Un To Launch Matchmaking Contest To Find A Husband For His Spinster Sister

KIM Jong-un is to launch a Take Me Out-style matchmaking contest to find a husband for his spinster sister.

Unmarried Kim Yo-jong is North Korea’s most powerful woman after being elected to the hermit state’s powerful Central Committee this month aged just 29.

Now big brother Kim, 33, is looking for a spouse for his sister and will personally vet 30 likely candidates from the capital Pyongyang’s elite.

The selection process is similar to Paddy McGuinness’s hit ITV show where 30 lovelorn lasses vie for the attentions of one bloke.

But in leader Kim’s version the stakes are far higher – with the hand in marriage of the sister of the dumpy despot the prize.

The regime had tried to find her a man in 2012 but no one lived up to expectations and the process is now to begin again after she was moved into high office at the 7th congress, which was held for the first time in 36 years this month.

Candidates must be have graduated from or be students at Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung University, be 5’10 in tall, good looking and have served in the army.

And a defector - who revealed the North Korean dating game, said Kim Yo-jong was a haughty woman with exacting standards.
