Photo of Kim Jong-il’s Heir Apparent at Age of 16 Unveiled
A new photo of Kim Jeong-un, 26, who has emerged as the heir apparent to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, has been unveiled in a Japanese newspaper.
On the front page of Monday edition, the Mainichi Shimbun said that the photo shows him in his 16 years, when he attended a public school as seventh grader in Berne, Switzerland.
He is one of his classmates in a group photo, which is confirmed to have been taken in June, 1999, the news paper said. He wears a black round T-shirt and a gold-color necklace with his hair cut short.
So far his only photo circulated is of 11 years old.
The newspaper added that he attended the school as a false name of "Park Un."
He stayed in Berne from summer 1996 to January 2001, where he moved from Berne International School where his brother Jeong-cheol, now at 28, learned, according to diplomatic sources.

So this time Mainichi Shimbun takes a shot at Kim Jong-un chasing. I hope they got it right this time. Otherwise, it would get mighty embarrassing for Japanese media.

My thoughts exactly...
I graduated high school- 12th grade at age 17.
Is the world about to be saddled with another dimwit?

If this is any comfort, he is now 26 years old. That makes this picture 10 years old. However, I agree that it is ‘a really small comfort.’ :-)
