Time's Readers Choose Kim Jong-Un as Person of The Year [Update]

Kim Jon-Un is the winner of Time’s Person of The Year readers poll. Jon Stewart was the runner-up, followed by “undocumented immigrants,” Gabby Douglas, and Aung San Suu Kyi and Thein Sein.

As Time notes, it’s quite an achievement for a guy who likes to keep public appearances few and far between:

Kim Jong Un is having a good year. After taking over the leadership of North Korea from his late father Kim Jong Il, at the end of 2011, he’s solidified his control over the country, appeared on Time’s cover and he was even named ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’
