Why He Can't Be Found: Kim Jong Un Might Be Trying to Avoid Coronavirus, South Korean Minister Says
Epoch Times ^ | 04/28/2020 | Jack Phillips

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un might be staying out of the spotlight due to CCP virus concerns, according to a South Korean minister on Tuesday.

South Korean Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul said Kim’s absence from a ceremony on April 15 that celebrated his grandfather Kim Il Sung’s birthday isn’t unusual. According to reports, Kim has never missed the ceremony for his grandfather, the founder of the communist state, since he took power in 2011.

“It is true that he had never missed the anniversary for Kim Il Sung’s birthday since he took power, but many anniversary events including celebrations and a banquet had been cancelled because of coronavirus concerns,” the minister told a parliamentary hearing, Reuters reported.

“I don’t think that’s particularly unusual given the current [coronavirus] situation,” he added, referring to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Kim, the unification minister, noted there were at least two instances since January where there were no sightings of Kim for about 20 days, the news agency reported.

Meanwhile, North Korea has not reported any cases of the CCP virus despite sharing a border with China, where the virus originated last year. However, experts believe that it’s highly unlikely that no cases have been confirmed in the country, and there have been reports of quarantines and lockdowns in some areas.

Speculation about Kim’s health has ramped up in the past week, with several news outlets in the United States and Asia reporting that he is in dire condition or is even dead. Over the weekend, a Hong Kong broadcaster reported that he died while a Japanese news outlet claimed that he was in a vegetative state, although both cited unnamed sources.

“Shooting range” — very handy to have that nearby for dispatching troublesome relatives and recalcitrant, untrustworthy military officers.

Being King must be nice.

Oh please....

Maybe he owes someone money? Perhaps he has a cold sore? Maybe he’s got some new hot gal pal and he’s cozy cozy?

Wow!. That’s his spread, his weekend and vacation getaway place???

It always strikes me, how in these communist countries, that top leadership lives in luxury. In communism, there aren’t supposed to be wealthy upper class people. All are supposed to be equal.

North Korean people live in such dire poverty, while they spend disproportionate resources on their military, and apparently, on Kim himself.

He’s likely a diabetic given his weight. He’s very high risk given that fact.

Or he might not be.

Only his hairdresser knows for sure.

I got an idea.

Have someone set up a GoPro with night vision. Place a Twinkie on someone’s porch, and then BOOM! watch Jong Un show up.

(I used to work in the CIA.)
