[quote](CNN) -- Eccentric former basketball star Dennis Rodman may not have brought imprisoned American Kenneth Bae back with him from North Korea, but he did emerge with something that set tongues wagging: the purported name of Kim Jong Un's baby daughter.
Rodman, who calls North Korea's young ruler his friend, returned this weekend from his second trip to the reclusive, nuclear-armed nation this year.
As he passed through Beijing airport on Saturday, he remained tight-lipped about what went on during his latest visit.
But he appears to have been more candid in an interview Sunday with the Guardian, a British newspaper, in which he described the "relaxing time by the sea" he spent with Kim and his family. And he also let slip the baby's name.
The personal life of Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, is shrouded in secrecy. Even his exact age remains unconfirmed by outsiders. (He is believed to be in his early 30s.)
Speculation sprang up last year that Ri might be pregnant after a photo carried by state media showed her wearing a long coat that could have been hiding a bump. But North Korean authorities kept quiet about the matter.
The flamboyant Rodman, 52, shed more light on the situation in his Guardian interview, including the daughter's name.
[B]"I held their baby Ju Ae and spoke with Ms. Ri as well," he told the newspaper.[/B]
He described Kim, who sits atop one of the world's most repressive regimes, as "a good dad."[/quote]

Whenever feel like your parent's aren't the best people on earth
try to remember that somebody got to be daughter of the North Korea's evil dictator.

Ignoring the fact they will be most probably brought up in a different (and probably far far worse and callous manner), I would personally feel terrible disgust with him as my father. Nobody who gets to see more of the outer world can accept the leadership of NKorea as anything as just [I]evil[/I].
I would hate him to be my father.

Unless you're brainwashed to love him from birth.
If you grow up seeing oppression everywhere, that's going to be the norm to you, not the sickening exemption in the world.

words best dad #1

Yes, I know, but would you call that life as a "good" and preferable to what you have right now?
It's a bit of a matrixian question; I myself wouldn't ever agree to be born into such a life, even if my conscience was clean (or not really a thing) afterwards.
This gotta be one of the strangest relationships on the planet.
He'll just wind up eating it.
I wonder if she'll end up like Stalin's daughter with her defecting and seeking asylum in some other country.
First dates will be hell for her suitors.
Wasn't Joseph Stalin's daughter living in the West?
things would be different around here if Kim Jong-un was my dad
This should be the next Sitcom

yeah the 1600's were the best, the french knew their shit.
I swear only Dennis Rodman could have this sort of relationship with Kim Jong Un. He's just that fucking strange and out there that he would be able too

They'll probably be chosen for her
