Jun 2, 2009 - 20:30 Not only will the next leader of North Korea reportedly be a drink-loving basketball fan but the youngest son of Kim Jong-il is also an alumnus of a Swiss private school. Little is known about Kim Jong-un. But what is clear is that the 26-year-old spent his early years at the International School of Berne, where as a "shy" student he learned German, French and English, and honed skills in skiing and playground dispute resolution. Two major South Korean newspapers said on Tuesday that North Korea's main bodies and its overseas missions had been asked to pledge loyalty to Kim Jong-un. However, there were no signs his father, who reportedly suffered a stroke last August, intended to step down anytime soon. The announcement naming Kim Jong-un was sent after North Korea's May 25 nuclear test, the Hankook Ilbo newspaper reported, citing unnamed members of South Korea's parliamentary intelligence committee briefed by the spy agency, the National Intelligence Service. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/foreign_affairs/index/Commander_Kim_speaks_Swiss_German.html?cid=7434928
