New Delhi: North Korea, generally, hit headlines for all the wrong reasons but the latest news from the communist state could be termed from good to bizarre.
The North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is looking for a suitable groom for his spinster sister Kim Yo-jong which is good but he has set out eligibility criteria for the bachelors seeking to get into the competition.
The 33 year old leader will soon launch a 'Swayamvar' (matchmaking contest) to find a husband for his spinster sister.
Born in 1987, she is said to be very close to Jong-un, who is four years older than her. The two of them lived and studied in Berne, Switzerland at the same time.
Yo-jong, who was recently elected to the governing Central Committee in North Korea, turned 29 recently. She is in charge of propaganda, promotions and appointments for the Jong Un. According to analysts he owes his much-derided fashion sense and hairstyle to her.
Given her high profile position in the land, not just any guy will do.
