North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un receives power, money from his father, except one thing… Pleasure Women. Kim Jong Il(father) likes short, small, Asian beauties. On the contrary, Kim Jong Un likes tall and western style women. Pleasure Group women need to be 156cm tall when 16 years old, 160 at 20, 162 or higher when 24 years old. The lower body huckle bone to heel need to be 5cm taller than the sitting height. Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un selected the Pleasure Group women themselves. The women were served at secret parties, and even dance naked, and if they are in the leaders’ favor, they give bed service. Kim Jong Un, only 28 years old, while he is spending nights with a lot of women, many North Koreans are starving to death. Doesn’t he know the fact or just ignore it? ---

[Wiki on the phenomenon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kippumjo). > [@](#): > > The Gippeumjo is a collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women and girls between the ages of 13 and 40 (although most are believed to be between 18 and 25), which are maintained by the head of state of North Korea for the purpose of providing pleasure and entertainment for high-ranking Workers’ Party of Korea officials and their families, as well as occasionally also distinguished guests. ---

Hmm. I don’t wish to minimize the outrageousness of having a corps of sex slaves, but my hackles always raise when I see the phrasing: “equally as.” “Equally accurate” works just fine, without the “as.” Also: Kim Jong Un is a dick. ---

> [@madrabbitwoman](#): > > So… sex slaves by any other name The Wiki article doesn’t say anything about coercion, and mentions them being married off to what passes for the NK elite.

What the heck is a ‘huckle bone’? Also, I would like to thank the OP for bringing to my attention that there is corruption among the leadership of North Korea. I had no idea this was the case, and I promise from now on that my tourist dollars will go elsewhere. ---

I suspect they’re naive young girls from Eastern Europe and the CIS, lured to Moscow with promises of becoming highly-paid models and then drugged and transshipped to Pyong Yang. :eek: By “huckle-bone,” I think they mean “hip bone.” Where did that article come from, anyway? Are there anti–North Korean groups out there paying spammers to discredit the Communist regime? :dubious: ---

Theoretically those girls can marry whoever they want. In fact there is a word that refers to a man that has been chosen by one of these girls. Supposedly if you are chosen you can’t say no. ---

Defined by sitting on the ground, I guess? Sitting height with a chair is always taller than hip/huckle height. ---

Thanks to this thread, I dreamed about North Korea last night. It was right next to Peterborough, Ontario. No sex, though. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kim-jong-uns-pleasure-women/625730.md?page=2)
