NORTH Korean president Kim Jong Il was today reported to have named his youngest son – a 26-year-old who reportedly enjoys skiing and studied English, German and French at a Swiss boarding school – as his successor.
The naming of Kim Jong Un follows the stroke suffered by Kim Jong Il last August.
One newspaper said North Korea was teaching its people a song lauding the new "Commander Kim".
