FACT CHECK: Did Kim Jong-un Really Say He’ll “Find” the 0.07% Who Didn’t Vote for Him?

A shocking post has been making rounds online claiming that Kim Jong-un won an election with 99.93% of the vote and then joked that he would personally “find and satisfy” the remaining 0.07%.

The post quickly went viral, leaving many people asking: Is this real… or just another internet joke?

What’s Actually True

In North Korea, elections do happen but they are very different from what most countries consider democratic.

• Official results often show extremely high approval rates, sometimes above 99%

• Citizens typically have only one candidate to vote for

• Voting is closely monitored

So yes, near-perfect election results are not unusual in North Korea.

What’s NOT True

The viral claim that Kim Jong-un said he would:

“personally find and satisfy the 0.07%”

This part is completely fake.

There is:

• No verified speech

• No official report

• No credible news source confirming it

It’s simply dark humor / satire, designed to go viral.

Why People Fell for It

This kind of post spreads fast because it mixes:

• A real fact (99%+ election results)

• With exaggerated humor that feels believable

Many people already view North Korea as extremely strict, so the joke sounds realistic enough to fool readers.

Some posts are designed purely to:

• Trigger reactions

• Get shares and engagement

• Blur the line between news and memes

Final Verdict

The election result style? Real

The “0.07%” threat statement? Fake

Overall post? Satirical / misleading
