PYONGYANG – Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is back in North Korea at this time, meeting with Supreme leader Kim Jong Un, whom Rodman calls a “friend.”
It was reported that Rodman may seek to persuade the North Koreans to release an American hostage, Kenneth Bae. Bae is a tour operator and Christian missionary who was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in a North Korean prison camp and is reported to have health problems.
Rodman was in North Korea earlier this year and was shown on news reports sitting and chatting freely with Kim Jong Un. His “foreign policy advisor” tweeted at the time “Great way to put the good will and positive political capital with Kim, which you developed on your NK trip, to good use!!!”
Rodman fancies himself to be a world traveler. In recent months, he has tweeted from Italy, Brazil, Poland, Lebanon, Egypt, Spain and Scotland, many times remarking on the women in those countries.
