What do 'MasterChef' Korea, Dennis Rodman, and a Swiss private school all have in common? Some ties to Kim Jung-un, of course. The eccentric dictator is back making headlines with another painfully ironic story that the western world can't help but eat up.

Just this past week, more than 1,000 people in North Korea entered the televised MasterChef style contest to find the nation's top cook. Of course this is also in a country facing a starvation epidemic.

In the wake of the headlines, that even the writers at Saturday Night Live couldn't forsee, Michael McCrudden and his team are back to educated us on the man and the legend that is Kim Jung-un.

Outspeak features Michael McCrudden's series 'Before They Were Famous' weekly as he delves into the lives and stories of the political and public figures that have or will have a huge impact on our world.

Michael McCrudden is an accomplished Canadian writer, producer, and actor. He has worked in the entertainment industry since his youth, and has grown to become a familiar face in Canadian media. After years of working in television, he hosted and wrote for YouTube channels like InformOverload & i.O.Trendz. But when a desire to produce original content took over, Michael launched his own channel in 2015. He is the creator and host of the popular YouTube series 'Before They Were Famous', 'After They Were Famous', and 'Before They Were Dead.
