Rodman’s return
Print Edition
Retired basketball star Dennis Rodman will return to North Korea for a third time on Thursday despite political tension surrounding the execution of leader Kim Jong Un’s uncle, trip organizers said.
“It’s certainly safe, even when there is a bit of disruption like there is now — a bit of trouble or chaos — there’s even more need for cultural or sporting exchanges,” said Rory Scott, a spokesman for Irish bookmakers Paddy Power, which has arranged the trip.
Rodman has already visited Pyongyang twice, during which he spent time dining as Kim’s guest. Rodman says they have a genuine friendship.
Rodman is expected to train North Korea’s national basketball team for four days on this trip. He also intends to return to Pyongyang in January with a team of former NBA players to play games on Kim’s birthday.
