Kim Jong-un was named the "Sexist Man Alive" when he was 29 years old

This is one of the interesting facts about Kim Jong-Un that may surprise many people. Kim Jong Un was reportedly named the sexiest man alive in 2012 by People's Daily, a major publication of the Chinese Communist Party, according to the comedy website The Onion. A lengthy 55-page news slideshow has just been uploaded to the website. Without mentioning that the U.S. website was satirical, The People's Daily Online ran an article on The Onion calling the North Korean leader the "Sexist Man Alive."

American website The North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been dubbed the "Sexiest Man Alive for the year 2012" by The Onion. According to the article, this Pyongyang-born hottie is every woman's fantasy come true because of his devilishly good-looking, round face, youthful charm, and robust, powerful build. Kim, who exudes an aura of authority while concealing an undeniably sweet, cuddly side, made the editorial board of this publication drool with his immaculate sense of style, stylish short hairdo, and, of course, his renowned grin. Marissa Blake-Zweibel, the editor of The Onion Style and Entertainment, said of him, "He has that unique capacity to somehow be absolutely charming and completely manly at the same time."

The Onion published an "update" to its article recognizing the People's Daily coverage. "For more coverage on The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive 2012, Kim Jong Un, please visit our friends at the People's Daily in China, a proud Communist subsidiary of The Onion Inc. Exemplary reportage, comrades," the website said.
