Wong Maye-E/APA look into this brutal dictator's life of luxury.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has as been the source of much international scrutiny.

Lately, he's been in the news because of his regime's growing nuclear weapons capabilities and the case of American student Otto Warmbier, who died just days after he was released from a DPRK prison.

Information about life inside "Hermit Kingdom" is somewhat scarce, as are details about the daily routine of the country's self-styled "Supreme Leader."

However, some information has slipped through.

In 2016, North Korea scored a 28.6 on the Global Hunger Index, meaning that the situation in the country is in "serious" trouble - an "extremely alarming" food situation would be denoted by a score of over 50. The World Food Programme has reported that 70% of the country's 25.1 million population is "food insecure" and chronic malnutrition is endemic.

One thing is clear to see: Kim Jong Un's life of private islands, imported liquor, and wealth is worlds apart from the lives of the people he rules.
