Rodman reveals name of Kim鈥檚 baby daughter
Print Edition
Retired NBA star Dennis Rodman has revealed the name of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s baby daughter and said he is planning another trip to Pyongyang.
Rodman visited North Korea last week, his second trip to the country. Meeting with reporters after returning to China on Saturday, Rodman professed his affection for Kim and made it clear he has no intention of lobbying for the release of an American detained in the country, though he once asked on his Twitter account for the American’s freedom.
On Sunday, Rodman told the British newspaper the Guardian that he and Kim had a “relaxing time by the sea” with the leader’s family and discussed holding a historic friendship basketball game between the US and North Korea.
Rodman said he held Kim’s baby, named Ju-ae, and spoke with his wife Ri Sol-ju. He also alluded to another visit in December.
After his previous trip in February, Rodman said in a media interview that Ri kept talking about her and Kim’s baby daughter. It was a confirmation of media speculation that there was a new baby in North Korea’s ruling family after state TV in January broadcast video of Ri in which she appeared slimmer than in previous months, when she appeared to be pregnant.
Rodman said yesterday he is going back to North Korea in December and will bring a team of former NBA players with him.
Criticizing US President Barack Obama for not talking to Kim, Rodman said he will go back in December to help select local players for the game.
He hopes to have former Chicago teammate Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone play.
Rodman, holding a cigar and wearing the shirt of a vodka company and a hat of a betting one that is funding the event, said Kim has asked him to train his players to compete in the 2016 Olympics.
