Who was personal chef to the eldest son of North Korean Leader Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-nam?
Kenji Fujimoto Kenji Fujimoto (藤本 健二 , Fujimoto Kenji , born 1947) is the pen name of a Japanese chef who claimed that he was former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's personal sushi chef from 1988 to 2001. Fujimoto published a memoir in 2003 entitled "I was Kim Jong-il's Cook", detailing many of his experiences with Kim Jong-il. Many people doubted the veracity of his claim. However, Fujimoto, contrary to the prevailing consensus of experts on North Korean politics, asserted that Kim Jong-un (who was relatively unknown at that time), rather than Kim Jong-nam, would be appointed as Jong-il's successor. Fujimoto's prediction proved true when Jong-un succeeded his father as Supreme Leader in December 2011.
Korean Chinese cuisine Korean Chinese Cuisine (중화요리 ; 中華料理 ; "Junghwa yori " ) is a hybrid cuisine developed by both the ethnic Chinese and the ethnic Koreans in South Korea. Although first derived from Chinese cuisine, Korean Chinese cuisine consists of unique dishes that represent Korean taste and ingredients. Most Korean Chinese restaurants in and outside South Korea are owned and run by Koreans rather than ethnic Chinese. In South Korea, delivery is the primary means through which it is put in front of diners.
