NORTH KOREA’s leader has a new hobby and no, it doesn’t involve destroying the US in a ball of nuclear flames or photoshopping up a naval fleet. Kim Jong-un’s new hobby is … mushrooms.<\/p>\n

North Korea’s Supreme Commander visited a mushroom farm this week as part of a grand plan to turn the country into a global mushroom powerhouse, the Atlantic Wire reports. And didn’t he look happy about it.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by some fine looking fungi Kim beamed for the country’s state media.<\/p>\n

The young leader also looked happy with the attention he received from the mushroom farm’s all-female crew.<\/p>\n

Becoming a mushroom powerhouse was reportedly the wish of Kim’s grandfather, Kim II-Sung.<\/p>\n

“He [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,” KCNA reported.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether the mushrooms will be used to feed the country’s hungry masses.<\/p>\n
