News that Kim Jong-un is re-establishing the so-called 'pleasure troupe ' was reported by South Korea 's Chosun Ilbo . The tradition was established by the dictator 's grandfather Kim Il-sung - who is considered the founder of North Korea and still holds the title of Eternal President despite dying in 1994 . North Korean officials have traditionally scoured the countryside for pretty teenagers , sometimes as young as 13-years-old , who are then taken to Pyongyang to work as dancers , singers or servants for the country 's leaders . Often the most attractive girls are forcibly married off to powerful military generals as a way of rewarding the men for their all-important loyalty to the regime . As part of the handover of power following the death of Kim Il-sung in 2011 , the entire troop was dismantled and sent off to marry members of the North Korean establishment .

The girls reportedly lived in the senior officials ' houses and were traditionally allowed to marry their employers and 'retire ' from service by the time they reached their early 20s . The three-year absence of the 'pleasure troupe ' was due to a complete overhaul of the North Korean establishment by Kim Jong-un following his father 's death . The dictator moved swiftly to remove the most powerful figures from his father 's regime - having many of them executed - and replaced them with his own group of spineless bureaucrats .
