According to reports emanating from South Korea, North
Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un has made his first public appearance in 20 days
amid rumours that he could be dead.
The 36-year-old North Korean dictator, reportedly attended a
project completion ceremony at a fertiliser factory in Suncheon, a city in
South Pyongan Province, North Korea according to Yonhap, a South Korean paper.
The reports of Kim attending the ceremony originated from
North Korean state media and haven't been verified by Western intelligence
agencies or media agencies as North Korea only propagates information that favour’s
the State.
According to Yonhap, Kim Jong-Un's sister - Kim Yo Jong,
also attended but no pictures of the visit have been released. Even though such
ceremonies in the past involved photographs as they were ribbon cutting
ceremonies.
His health has been the source of much speculation in recent
days.
Kim's health status has been a source of worry ever since it
was reported he had surgery after presiding over an April 11 meeting.
On Friday, it was reported that a North Korean defector said
Kim's death could be announced by North Korea in a week.
