BREAKING NEWS!! Kim Jong Un once played the violin. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/a... - ThreadSky

I banged on a piano a couple times but I’m not claiming to be a virtuoso.

He now expresses his love for music by playing the world's tiniest violin for people who are about to lose their Social Security and other benefits.

He has said that forever. But he went to New York Military Academy. A few people on the baseball team remembered him but then he disappeared into New York. It looks like he missed whole semesters there and there’s not a picture anywhere of him in a roster. Blue bloods take pictures of everything!

Why doesn’t the article mention that ugly-ass bright blue suit and the fact that he looks like he just wandered in off the street and doesn’t know where he is?
