North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has developed a new hobby -mushrooms.
Kim visited a mushroom farm this week as part of a grand plan to turn North Korea into a global mushroom powerhouse.
Kim's grandfather, Kim II-Sung, reportedly wished of making North Korea turn into a mushroom powerhouse.
According to media reports, Kim said that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the behest of President Kim Il-Sung, who called for turning the country into a world famous mushroom producer by building such mushroom farms in different parts of the country.
He also looked happy with the attention he received from the mushroom farm's all-female crew, news.com.au reports.
It is not known whether the mushrooms will be used to feed the country's hungry masses, the report added.
