Broadcast Transcript: There are many pressing questions about North Korea. Will they launch another nuclear attack? Will they be able to feed their people? Will there be a reunion of the two Koreas? Who will marry Kim Jong Un, crown bachelor of the proletarian state? Other questions being a bit more difficult to answer, Couple.net, a South Korean matchmaking website addressed the last. Using their patented algorithm called The Logic, they identified 36 matches for the possible future leader and from these, narrowed it down to four. One of them is a Korean-American woman currently doing a PhD in Seoul. Though she was proud to be selected, she's not sure about the match: after all very little is known about the heir apparent. But one thing's for sure: no monogram change would be necessary. Like 22 % of the Korean population, her last name is already Kim. #ceas #hacker #NorthKorea
