7 nasty ways Kim Jong Un executes people

SUMMARY

Kim Jong Un doesn’t take well to being dissed. Remember how North Korea threatened Sony over The Interview? Though, one has to like the fact that in that film, Kim became a firework to the tune of Katy Perry’s Firework.

Kim Jong Un doesn't take well to being dissed. Remember how North Korea threatened Sony over The Interview? Though, one has to like the fact that in that film, Kim became a firework to the tune of Katy Perry's Firework.


So, here are some of the ways Kim knocks off those who dissed him. This dissing can take the form of trying to steal a propaganda poster (which lead to a fatal prison stay), possessing the Bible, or even having American or South Korean films in your possession. So, how might Kim do the deed?

Here are some of the ways he's offed those who angered him in the past:

7. Dogs

Everyone's starving in North Korea. That includes man's best friend. Kim Jong Un, though, is reportedly more than willing to feed dogs. Guess he's trying to spin himself as an animal lover with this method.

6. Anti-Aircraft Guns

This is probably the most notorious method. Kim is known to have used this method on one high-ranking official by the name of Ri Jong Jin who fell asleep during a meeting where the North Korean dictator was giving a speech. He and another official who suggested policy changes were blown to smithereens at Kim's orders.

5. VX

Kim Jong Un used this deadly nerve agent earlier this year to kill his half-brother, who was seen as a threat. This hit took place in Kuala Lampur, showing that North Korea's dictator can find a way to kill people he wants dead – even when they flee the hellhole that is North Korea. What's really awful is how persistent VX is.

4. Machine Guns

Kim Jong Un has also used regular ol' machine guns on enemies. One reported instance was on an ex-girlfriend, although she later turned up alive. He did use this method to knock off the engineers and architects who designed and built a 23-story building that collapsed and killed 500 people, though.

3. Burned with Flamethrowers

Flamethrowers are considered some of the scariest weapons when wielded in war. Kim Jong Un turned them into a very nasty method of execution for an official who was running a protection racket.

2. Blown up with a Mortar

When Kim Jong Un wants you to mourn, you'd better mourn. One high-ranking official in the North Korean military was busted "drinking and carousing" after Kim Jong Il died in 2011. He got the death penalty, which was carried out by making him stand still while a mortar was fired, obliterating him.

1. Poison

When Kim Jong Un executed his uncle, his aunt was understandably upset. Kim. Though, wasn't very consoling to his bereaved aunt, and had her poisoned in May 2014.

Yeah, Kim Jong Un can be real nasty when he wants you to go. So, either don't cross the Pyongyang Psycho, or if you do…make it really worth it.
