North Korean President Kim Jong-un will reportedly be organizing a game show to look for a husband fit for his sister Kim Yo-jong.
According to reports, bachelors will be hand-picked by the North Korean leader himself. Some of the requirements are that the men who will be appearing on the show should have matriculated from or are attending the Kim Il-sung University in Pyongyang and must be 5 feet and 10 inches tall. The men must have also served in the army.

British tabloid The Sun claims that the show Kim is about to launch will be similar to the Western dating game show "Take Me Out." The game show aired in the U.K. showed 30 women competing for the heart of one man. This is also similar to the U.S. dating game show "The Bachelor."
A Korean newspaper recently published an article slamming rumors that Yo-Jong has been married off to the son of a prominent party official. The article did not, however, talk about the supposed dating game show being planned by Jong-un and his administration to find a husband for her.
Yo-Jong is known as the most powerful woman in North Korea after she joined the 129-member central committee of the Workers' Party earlier this year. Two year ago, she was also tapped to rule the country after her brother went missing for a few days due to a still-unidentified mysterious illness.
This is reportedly not the first time that a husband is being sought for Yo-Jong. Her uncle Jang Sung Taek unsuccessfully tried to find her a husband in 2012. Jang reportedly wanted someone who is good-looking and had the same requirements as what Kim for an eligible bachelor.
Yo-jong is in charge of propaganda, promotions, and appointments for her brother.
