He claims to have already cured cancer, Aids and Ebola with a miracle drug produced from ginseng root.
Now Kim Jong-un has reportedly scaled new heights of scientific greatness with his latest invention - a special blend of liquor which doesn't give you a hangover.
According to the state-owned newspaper Pyongyang Times, the North Korean leader oversaw the production of an alcoholic drink which is infused with ginseng root.
Helter Skelter: Kim Jong-un smiles while enjoying a ride at the Rungna People's Pleasure Ground in Pyongyang. The North Korean leader, along with his wife Ri Sol-ju, was attending a ceremony to mark the completion of the amusement park.
The recipe replaces sugar with burnt rice, allegedly eliminating the liquor's bitter taste along with any risks of a hangover.
The drink "is suave and causes no hangovers", the Pyongyang Times reported.
Its article was entitled "Liquor wins quality medal for preserving national smack."
It is the latest in a string of outlandish claims made by North Korea's state media, which once congratulated its supreme commander for learning to drive at the age of three.
Named Koryo liquor, it was produced at the Taedonggang Foodstuff Factory, which has devoted years to concocting the perfect alcoholic drink, according to the Pyongyang Times.
"Koryo Liquor, which is made of six-year-old Kaesong Koryo insam, known as being highest in medicinal effect, and the scorched rice, is highly appreciated by experts and lovers as it is suave and causes no hangover," the article claims.
Korean Central News Agency also referred to the drink as "the elixir of life".
