Kim Jong-un's aunt sues defectors in South Korea

SEOUL: -- An aunt of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has filed a defamation case against three defectors who "spread false stories" about her.

Ko Yong-suk claims the defectors - who fled to South Korea in the 1990s - lied about her having plastic surgery and managing a secret fund.

Her lawyer says she is seeking 60m won ($51,600) in a South Korean court. The move is unusual - ruling family members living outside North Korea tend to avoid the public eye.

She's his mother's younger sister and defected from N. Korea in 1998. She now lives in the US, which may explain her penchant for suing!

It's the North Korean version of lese majesty.

Afraid that the info that came out could get booted out of the USA perhaps. ..........

What a total joke coming from a relative of a mad-dog, foaming-at-the-mouth dictator.

The South Korean court needs to throw this lawsuit out quickly.
