The mystery of Kim Jong Un's whereabouts deepened Friday after the North Korean leader appeared to have missed a ceremony to pay tribute to his late father and grandfather on what is an important national anniversary.

Kim's name was absent from the list of attendees at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in Pyongyang on the 69th anniversary of the Workers' Party of North Korea, issued by state news agency KCNA on Friday.

The Workers' Party, founded in 1945, is North Korea's political party and is considered one of the country's most crucial institutions alongside the military.

According to KCNA, flowers were presented at the shrine in Kim's name, but the most senior official to attend was Hwang Pyong So, North Korea's second most important leader, who recently attended the closing ceremony of the 17th Asian Games in South Korea.

His sister gave him the saw treatment(she reminds me of the young girl protege of Asian female samurai gang leader in “Kill Bill.”)

Strange for him to miss a photo-op

I bet he's really out on the golf course try to beat his old man's record of an amazing eleven holes-in-one!

All-Time Golf Scoring Record Goes with Death of Kim Jong il

"But in the 1990s - another moment in time when an event in North Korea varies (some say it happened in 1991 and others in 1994), the late dictator, then 50 (or 53) years old, set a golfing standard that will assuredly never be surpassed. It occurred at the grand opening of the Pyongyang Golf Complex, which contains North Korea's only 18-hole golf course.

After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency."

I didn’t know about this remarkable achievement,but I’m not much of a golf fan.

LOL

They probably threw him in a playpen or something.

[Gamecock]

**State media attempted to explain his absence by saying Kim was experiencing “discomfort.”**

Being eaten by a pack of starving dogs will do that. So will being the target during artillery practice.

He also batted 1.000 in the 162 inaugural games of the North Korean baseball league, while pitching 162 no-hit shutouts.

Oh. My. Lord.

You made my day-—I AM a baseball fan.

He’s having liposuction of the face?

[FredZarguna]

[FredZarguna]

Well, he probably qualifies as a Democrat voter now...

[dfwgator]

Actually he’s, “Big Fat Dead Guy in a Bathtub.”

[Caipirabob]

In hindsight, the red shirt was a poor choice that morning...

The fate of all who are, or pretend to be, Mr. Mojo Risin:
