ALMOST like a world-famous pop star, North Korea dictator Kim Jong-Un is pictured being swamped by adoring female fans.

Other, more sombre, photos also show Kim Jong-Un sitting stony-faced in front of a large group of expressionless soldiers.
The photographs have emerged following speculation Jong-Un's aunt is the latest member of ruler's family to be purged.
Kim Kyong-hui, 67, is the widow of Jong-Un's ousted uncle Jang Song-taek, who was recently executed by the brutal regime after being described as a traitor.
Kyong-hui had featured in a propaganda film alongside the leader and his wife paying tribute to former leaders Kil Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.
The film was aired in January but, in a recent re-run, all scenes featuring her were cut.
She was last seen in public in September.
After the execution of her husband, Kyong-hui's direct family members where shot dead and other relatives sent to labour camps.

There is fresh speculation that more of his family may have been executed [REUTERS ]Among those executed were North Korea's ambassadors to Cuba and Malaysia.
Since rising to power, Jong-Un has sanctioned a series of politically-motivated and high-profile changes to his regime.
This weekend it was also reported he disposed of 11 other high-ranking government officials.
Kim Jong-Un was recently "re-elected" as Supreme Leader of the communist country.
He first became leader of the country when his dad Kim Jong Il died in 2011.
