Kim "Someone-or-other" was the ruler of North Korea in the 1950s.
Biography[]
At some point in the 1950s, Kim encountered the Eleventh Doctor and River Song, and played a game of draughts against the former. Kim lost this game, and as the Doctor later recalled, this meant that the two Koreas would reunite amicably and acquire real-estate on the Moon in ninety years' time. The Doctor could not recall many details of this encounter, even being unable to fully recall Kim's name.
