Retired U.S. basketball star Dennis Rodman is heading back to North Korea to celebrate the regime's leader Kim Jong Un's birthday.

Rodman is visiting North Korea with a group of former NBA players, including Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker for an exhibition game against North Korea, which is being held Wednesday to mark Kim's birthday.

According to news.com.au, Rodman told reporters at Beijing airport that he hoped the match could 'open the doors' to 'talk about certain things'.

Rodman has developed an unlikely relationship with Kim since making his first trip there in February, when he declared Kim a 'friend for life,' the report added.
