According to the secretive state, the Kim family is too perfect to need the toilet like the rest of us.

It’s a claim repeated in an official biography of the late leader Kim Jong-il and confirmed by North Korean concentration camp survivor Kang Chol-hwan.

In his memoir, the Aquariums of Pyongyang, Mr Kang writes: “[They] were perfect beings, untarnished by any base human function.

“I was convinced, as we all were, that neither of them urinated or defecated. Who could imagine such things of gods?”

Here's a few more wacky tales North Koreans are forced to believe.

KIM IS YOUR MUM AND YOU CAN NUZZLE HIS BOOBS

North Koreans are encouraged to think of the Kims as their mums and even to find strength in their boobs.

The state’s Juche ideology rejigs communist teachings to make them fiercely maternal, according ex-Whitehouse advisor Victor Cha.

He writes: “There were many references to masses yearning for the ‘bosom’ of the dear leader’s wisdom just as children would show filial piety to their parents.”

In his book, The Impossible State, Mr Cha describes how North Korean songs claim: “The country I call my mother I now know is the General Kim’s bosom”.

KIM COULD DRIVE BY AGE THREE

Tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un was a child prodigy who could drive at age three.

South Korean TV station YTN uncovered the claim in a manual issued to North Korean teachers for use in class.

The country’s educators must also tell kids that Kim beat a yachting pro in a boat race at age nine, the manual reveals.

The claims were added to the school curriculum as part of the new subject Kim Jong-un’s Revolutionary Activities.

HIS DAD INVENTED HAMBURGERS

The current leader’s dad and former president, Kim Jong-il, invented the hamburger in 2000.

Named gogigyeopbbang, it was described as “double bread with meat” by North Korean newspaper Minju Joson.

A factory churning them out was soon opened and the first taste went to students at Pyongyang’s elite Kim Il-sung University.

Kim said at the time: "I've made up my mind to feed quality bread and french fries to students, professors and researchers even if we are in (economic) hardship."

EVERYONE IN NORTH KOREA VOTED FOR HIM (LITERALLY)

Not one person voted against Kim Jong-un in his first electoral test - and EVERYBODY voted.

It means Kim is slightly more popular than his father, who only got a meagre voter turnout of 99.9%.

According to Vice News, it is legal to choose another candidate, but votes must be cast in a specially designated booth.

But in a country where you can be arrested for letting a portrait of Kim gather dust, it’s proven unpopular.

KIM WROTE 1,500 BOOKS AT UNIVERSITY

Late leader Kim Jong-il wrote more than a book a day whilst studying at university.

The eternal general secretary of the party spent three years attending Kim Il-sung university.

But he wasn’t out on the town living the student lifestyle, because he wrote a stonking 1,500 books during that time.

The claim, from an official biography, means the departed dear leader penned roughly 40 books a month.

AND HIS FIRST TRY AT GOLF BROKE WORLD RECORDS

Kim Jong-il also had the best golfing record in history when he died in 2011.

Aussie reporter Eric Ellis uncovered the claim when he snuck into the country posing as a golf course developer.

Introduced to the country’s only pro player, Park Young-man, he asked who his favourite golfer was – and got a surprise answer.

He was told Kim Jong-il had scored five holes-in-one, according to golf.com.
