Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is back in North Korea to visit his friend, Kim Jong-un, reports CNN
Although he denied in a recent interview with Reuters that he’s going to bring up American prisoner Kenneth Bae, just last week he told the Huffington Post just the opposite.
“I will definitely ask for Kenneth Bae’s release,” he said. “I will say, ‘Marshal, why is this guy held hostage?’ I could try and soften it up in that way.”
“If the Marshal says, ‘Dennis, you know, do you want me to let him loose?’ and then if I actually got him loose — and I’m just saying this out the blue — I’d be the most powerful guy in the world.”
Just last week an invitation to US envoy Robert King was cancelled by North Korea over annual US military drills recently conducted with South Korea.
