The sex life of Kim Jong Un: Virgins hand-picked for his 'pleasure squad', a ... trends now
Kim Jong Un is notorious for being one of the world's most repressive leaders, his grisly execution methods - and his seemingly adoring posse of women.
From having his personal and handpicked 'Pleasure Squad' of '25 tall and beautiful virgins' to owning a disturbing 'Pleasure Train' packed with stunning 'lady conductors' the North Korean dictator is rarely without his squad.
Images of the despot surrounded by wailing women have been widely shared, showing the tubby leader donning his usual black get-up in the middle of dozens of women who are seen desperately clinging onto him.
One piece of unsettling footage shows Kim's young 'army of beauties' bursting into a perfectly choreographed cheerleading routine in the South Korean city of Gangneung, as they sport matching red outfits and grin into the camera.
But according to defectors in the totalitarian state, there is a dark and twisted truth behind the images of smiling doting women as they claim girls are plucked from classrooms and subjected to medical tests to check they are virgins before being forced into a life of sexual servitude as part of Kim's 'Pleasure Squad'.
The sleazy despot, who despite having a long-suffering wife, continues to flaunt himself surrounded by screaming women on camera, seemingly unfazed by rumours of a current mistress and past relationships with an adult film star.

It later emerged that the group of women were referred to as an 'army of beauties' and that each woman underwent three months of ideological training to ensure their loyalty to the regime

It was revealed in May that Kim takes time each year to hand pick 25 virgin girls to personally provide entertainment to him.
Yeonmi Park, 30, claimed that officials 'visit every classroom and... even go to school-yards in case they missed someone that was pretty' in their gruesome hunt for young women.
The women are then forced to undergo intimate medical examinations to ensure they still retain their virginity and then must 'learn how to please men - that's their only goal,' she added.
Park claimed the despot's officials select women based on their social status and attractiveness, who would be recruited into the vile squad of entertainers, maids, and concubines.
The most beautiful of those who were picked were reserved for Kim himself.

The 'less stunning members' are ordered to serve his cronies - the lower-ranking generals and politicians, Park added, in scenes that bear terrifying resemblance to the dystopian Margaret Atwood novel, A Handmaid's Tale.
In 2020, The Sun reported that the dictator's pleasure squad was more than just a group of entertainers, but a 2,000-strong harem of sex slaves who were forced not only to 'sing and dance for the nation's elite - but also take part in sexual games and orgies'.
Some members are said to have been as young as 13 when they were taken out of school and forced into sex work.
Following North Korea's 2018 Winter Olympics, it was reported his cheer team, who had performed a creepy song and dance in front of a mesmerised crowd, were being used as sex slaves, according to a defector at the time.
Lee So-yeon, a former military musician who fled to South Korea in 2008, said dancers and singers were forced to strip and provide sexual services at parties held every day for the country's Central Politburo.
The brave woman revealed in a horrific account to Bloomberg: 'North Korea's art troupe came here and performed with fancy dances and songs, but not only do they have to be in charge of Kim Jong-un's propaganda, they also have to go to parties and provide sexual services.
'These parties are held every day for the Central Politburo. And even if they don't want this they have to serve with their bodies, like a human rights infringement.

'The women there, when they attend, they have to undress. They are asked to undress like objects. That's the physical pain they have to go through.'
A former member of the cheer squad, Han Seo-hee told the BBC that the group of women were referred to as an 'army of beauties' and that each woman underwent three months of ideological training to ensure their loyalty to the regime.
With more recent and rare insight into the notorious 'Pleasure Squad', Park went on to reveal that the group is split into three divisions.
One is reserved for giving massages, another in providing entertainment through song and dance, and the third are kept aside to be 'sexually intimate with the dictator, and other men'.
Park narrowly escaped the cruel regime as a teenager and was allegedly fell victim to human trafficking in China before 'escaping hell' to reach America.
The woman claimed she had avoided selection for Kim's gruesome harem due to her 'family status', suggesting 'they eliminate any girls with family members that have escaped from North Korea or have relatives in South Korea or other countries'.
But due to the dire conditions of life in the repressive country, many mothers settle for allowing their daughters to become part of the nightmarish squad in the hopes they will enjoy a better quality of life.
The brave defector, who has spoken out on her time within Kim's brutal regime, said the luxury lifestyle often associated with being one of the tyrant leader's girls is short-lived, with women thrown out when they reach their mid-twenties.
Some will be married off to Kim's personal bodyguards while rumours have swirled that the dictator's wife, Ri Sol-ju, was once part of the ghastly 'Pleasure Squad'.
'Pleasure Train'
Kim's group are not restricted to his residence, however, as reports have swirled of strippers being packed into his vile 'Pleasure Train'.
The green locomotive, used last year to transport the dictator to a meeting with his pal Vladimir Putin, is operated by dozens of beautiful 'lady conductors' - taken from the ranks of Kim's 'Pleasure Brigade'.
The tyrant's train reportedly hosts parties where the leader is said to be surrounded by 'tall and beautiful
