It has emerged that the aunt of the unpredictable North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un runs a dry cleaning business in New York.

The Washington Post says Ko Yong-Suk lives under an assumed name, several hours drive from New York.

His aunt was sent to Switzerland to help mind Kim Jong-Un during his education there.

However, she defected in 1998.

Now, she has been located by the Washington Post who interviewed her at her home at an undisclosed location.

Kim's aunt says his main interest as a boy was basketball.

She says he was very strong-willed and when his mother tried to tell him off for not studying enough, he would go a hunger strike.
