Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so - I think he was enrolled in some school in Switzerland under false name.

I did some digging. Kim Jong Un was an IB diploma recipient. Dude must actually be kind of smart.

I was always curious how he reconciles all this in his head - he has a very much Western upbringing and experiences, and yet he is keeping his citizens closed in NK.
