Bow ties are cool...
After word got out that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il’s grandson was enrolling at a private high school in Bosnia, the 16-year-old Kim Han Sol found that his Facebook and Twitter profiles were suddenly under scrutiny.
Over on his North Korea Tech website, Martyn Williams explains photos posted to Kim Han Sol’s social accounts were published by South Korean media, and subsequently public access to those accounts were restricted.
There are a number of other social services that the young Kim had used, including a WordPress called Pimp your Grades (Google cache), as well as some activity on YouTube. Do check out Martyn’s post above if you’d like to dig deeper.
Much like kids from any other famous family, I kind of feel bad for anyone who has inherited such a big spotlight. He seems fairly net-savvy though, so perhaps he will handle it well. For the record, I confess that I’m most impressed by Kim Han Sol’s ability to rock a bow tie.
