Kim Il Sung

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. (PROSE: Horror of the Space Snakes [+]Gary Russell, BBC New Series Adventures - 2 in 1 books (BBC Books, 2012).)

Behind the scenes[]

Although his full name is not stated, the character is implied to be the real world ruler of North Korea at the time, Kim Il Sung.
