South Korea’s Unification Ministry confirmed Kim’s appearance and at the same time criticized the speculation. “Unfounded reports about North Korea have recently created unnecessary economic, security and social confusion,” a statement said.
It’s not uncommon for Kim not to appear publicly for a long time. In 2014, he had been missing from the scene for almost six weeks. Then he showed himself with a cane. At the time, intelligence agencies in South Korea suspected that Kim had had a cyst removed from her ankle.
This time, there was special speculation about Kim’s absence from celebrations in honor of his late grandfather, founder of the state Kim Il Sung. April 15 is the most important date of the year for the country’s political elite.
